Comedian and magician Pen Jillette spoke about the nature of Bob Saget’s "transgressive" comedy after his children got offended by clips of the late "America's Funniest Home Videos" star’s stand-up work. Jillette joined the chorus of celebrities and comedian friends honoring Saget following his unexpected death last week in a hotel room in Orlando, Fla. He penned a lengthy op-ed in The New York Times in which he discussed the nature of comedy.
Specifically, how Saget’s propensity to be foul-mouthed and cover incredibly taboo subjects might be viewed through the lens of a younger, cancel-culture-oriented audience. Jillett explained that he showed his 15 and 16-year-old kids Saget’s work because he was sad about his death, but their reception to him was not positive.

(JB Lacroix/WireImage/Getty Images) "When they saw clips of Bob on the internet, making hard-core jokes about pedophilia and incest, they were offended," he explained.
"They thought my friend must have been a bad person, and it was hard for them to understand how I could have loved him." He added: "I don’t know if I can blame them. How could they understand that doing transgressive comedy was, in Bob’s hands, not about hate and pain but, rather, a daredevil act of mutual trust?" Jillette went on to lament that today’s culture often consumes media in small chunks, often devoid of its full context. "When my children watched little snippets of Bob and read some quotes, they couldn’t know that Bob Saget didn’t do transgressive comedy to be mean," he wrote.
"He didn’t even do it to shock. He did it to make people laugh, to test himself, to let the audience test him and to form a connection with them."
