Trivia: Bob Saget offers living proof that it is possible to dramatically (and aggressively) alter one's own show-business image in mid-act. This deceptively clean-cut writer/actor/comedian began his foray into televised entertainment typecast as a "family-oriented" comic actor, and then shocked nearly everyone by emerging as a popular "blue" comedian with raunchy standup gigs, delivered from such venues as Glitter Gulch. Throughout, Saget managed to achieve considerable success in each venue, albeit among radically different demographics.A graduate of Pennsylvania's Temple University, Saget originally planned to pursue medical studies, but a brush with the performing arts convinced him to head in that direction instead. Following a brief appearance as a doctor in the Richard Pryor-Michael Apted medical farce Critical Condition (1986), Saget achieved broad recognition in 1987 when cast as genial family man Danny Tanner, a widower and father of three, on the saccharine sitcom Full House (1987-1995). Two and a half years into that program's run, Saget concurrently turned up on another program, America's Funniest Home Videos, which -- per its title -- featured the comic actor emceeing a seemingly limitless series of humorous amateur video clips sent in by folks around the country -- in a contest that issued cash prizes for the very best. Videos, like Full House, instantly scored with the public when it bowed in January 1990; Saget remained with the series until 1997.Beginning immediately around the time that Full House wrapped, Saget started branching off into a variety of directions; he helmed several features, including telemovies (For Hope, Jitters) and at least one theatrically released comedy (the 1998 Dirty Work), but placed his strongest emphasis on standup. The performer hosted Saturday Night Live, contributed a routine to Comic Relief, and headlined a series of standup comedy specials on pay cable that were -- as indicated -- definitively for adults. He also contributed a memorably scatological and raunchy routine to longtime friends Paul Provenza and Penn Jillette's standup documentary revue, The Aristocrats (2005). (The routine was prefaced by Saget's ironic admission, "Some people think I have a reputation of being a dirty comedian...," and intercepted by his tongue-in-cheek request to have a copy of the video of the routine, to send it to the kids on Full House.) Saget's 2007 directorial effort Farce of the Penguins (2007) skewered the popular nature documentary March of the Penguins (2007) with raunchy voice-overs (by an all-star cast) placed atop nature footage of penguins in the wild. Meanwhile, beginning in 2005, Saget signed for a voice-only role on the sitcom How I Met Your Mother. He provides the older voice of the lead character, Ted Mosby, as he tells his two children the story of how he came to know their mother, effectively serving as narrator for the show.

Trivia: Born August 19th, 1964, John Stamos started his career as Blackie Parrish on the soap opera General Hospital, but his most recognizable role remains Uncle Jesse on the family sitcom Full House. He made his film debut in the motorcycle movie Born to Ride, but he never fully made a transition to films. After a short time recording with the Beach Boys as a singer and drummer, he started dancing as well and joined the Broadway cast of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. In 1998, he married his model/actress Rebecca Romijn and hosted the VH1 celebrity talk show The List. He then turned to producing television with the ABC miniseries The Beach Boys: An American Family. In 2002, he began playing the Master of Ceremonies in the Broadway production of Cabaret, and in 2006 Stamos joined cast of the long-running medical drama ER in the role of paramedic-turned-intern Tony Gates. Stamos enjoyed a resurgence of popularity for his turn as the dentist boyfriend of a charmingly obsessive compulsive high school guidance counselor on the popular television show Glee.

Trivia: Known to many as big sister DJ on the sitcom Full House, actress Candace Cameron followed in the footsteps of her older brother Kirk Cameron, who was an actor on the series Growing Pains. Starting with guest appearances on shows like Alice and St. Elsewhere, Cameron eventually won the role of DJ in 1987, when she was 11 years old. Following the cancellation of Full House in 1995, she continued to act in a wide variety of projects, many under her married name, Candace Cameron Bure, including 1997's Night Scream, 2007's The Wager with Randy Travis, and 2008's Moonlight and Mistletoe.

Trivia: Actress Jodie Sweetin earned a permanent and well-deserved place in the hearts of all mid-'80s sitcom lovers circa 1987, when the then-five-year-old won the part of pint-sized Stephanie Tanner, the middle daughter of widowed sportscaster-turned-morning-show host Danny Tanner (Bob Saget), on the Friday-night laugh-fest Full House. Sweetin remained with the ABC program for all of its eight-year run (from 1987 through 1995) but maintained a somewhat lower profile thereafter, appearing selectively in projects like the 2012 TV movie Singled Out. The former child star made headlines in the later 2000's, openly discussing her struggles with addiction and substance abuse. In 2016, she returned to her most famous character in the Full House sequel series, Fuller House.
