A lot of people ask me what my favorite episode of Full House was, I always tell them: it was the last one!
Bob Saget was known, in the comedy clubs in those days, as extremely funny but with dark humor. It was always an inside joke among comics, when he got Full House, it was, like, wow, hes playing this all-American dad kind of thing. That was not Bob Saget. His comedic style is definitely more twisted, and he has an edgier side than he showed in Full House.
Found a bunch of old shower caps in my house. Was gonna throw them out but realized they make excellent porta potties for long road trips.
I was going to do a big radio show, and I said to my driver, 'Radio can wait, take me to the Full House house.' It literally was a drive-by. I photobombed the Full House house yesterday. I took like 20 pictures because I thought I didn't look good in any of these - you can't see the house! You gotta really show that that's the house!
One of the first things I said when I signed on for the show was No hugs! Full House was all based on hugs.
Full House was a show that was done for ten-year-olds. The critics hated it. They said terrible, terrible things about it. But it should have been reviewed by ten-year-olds. That's who it was made for. They loved it. And if they loved it, great. Why the hell does a fifty-year-old guy working at a big newspaper have to tell me I'm a piece of crap?
The thing that changed me the most as a person was the play I did in New York,
I can't go back now. I've done it. I've gone and done it.
I can't do it. I hurt too badly when I think about the folks hurt by the hurricane, or what the government isn't doing about it,
When I saw the finished product -- I watched it with my manager -- I said I think I should sign it, because it's a funny movie.
It's not the feel-good movie of the year and it's not a woman's film, really. It's a guy's sense of humor, the 15-year-old boy behind the school yard kind of humor, ... Bad, wrong, dirty, ugly, wrong, heeheehee; that's what it is.
Just went to the gym and worked on every body part. Four people slapped me.
The Comedy Store - all three rooms were filled with 800 people in the room. And during that time, all these guys and some women, but mostly guys who weren't funny were doing stand up for a living; they weren't accountants, they were making $30-$50 grand a year on the road, or more.
Concerned we're in a time where politicians can't even fake sincerity. Aren't they supposed to be good at that?
