Paul Rodriguez is paying tribute to America’s dad…

The 67-year-old Mexican-American actor and stand-up comedian will appear in Netflix’s Dirty Daddy: A Tribute to Bob Saget, a special that celebrates his life and legacy.

Paul RodriguezThe new Netflix special arrives five months after the comedy world lost the Full House star and stand up comedian.  

“Bob wasn’t something that was taken away from us — he was something that was given to us,” says the trailer for the special.

The special will launch on Friday, June 10, on the streamer.

Saget died January 9 in an Orlando hotel room not long after a stand-up performance. His death at 65 rocked Hollywood and led to an outpouring of tributes, along with the farewell show at the Comedy Store in West Hollywood where Dirty Daddy was filmed.

In addition to Rodriguez, those taking part are Saget’s former Full House co-stars John Stamos and Dave Coulier, along with Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jim Carrey, Michael Keaton, Tim Allen, Jeff Ross, Darren Criss, Jon Lovitz, John Mayer, Mike Binder, Jackson Browne, Seth Green, Mike Young and Candace Cameron Bure.

His widow Kelly Rizzo-Saget and their daughters Lara and Aubrey Saget also are set.

In the trailer, Rizzo-Saget steps to the stage and says, “The most important thing to him was belonging to this club, to this group, to being a comedian.” Carrey adds: “You created a cathedral of f*cking love, Bob Saget.”

As also noted in the trailer, everyone deserves a friend like Bob.

He may be selling out multiple dates at Madison Square Garden, but Louis C.K. isn’t letting that go to his head.

The 47-year-old Mexican American standup comedian/actor is offering a comedy special, shot at a club, for only $5.

If you pre-ordered Louis C.K. Live at the Comedy Store, you received the hour-long video in your inbox on Tuesday. If not, well it’s still available to purchase right now for that same price at his official website.

“This special kind of goes back to when I used to just make noises and be funny for no particular reason. It felt right to shoot this special in a club to give it that live immediate intimate feeling,” C.K. wrote in the official post. The opening act is Jay London, “one of my favorite club comics going way back to the late 80s when I first started in working in New York,” according the Emmy-winning creator, writer, director and star of FX’s Louie.

And if you do purchase Louis C.K.’s sixth hour-long special, you’ll get a very long email that details why the Comedy Store is still the only club that gives him butterflies, how he hustled through comedy scenes throughout America over the past 30 years, and why he thinks Abraham Lincoln was the country’s first comedian.
