Bob Saget : Biography, Pictures, Photos, Trivia, Address, Filmography (Full House)

Bob Saget (born May 17, 1956 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a US actor and stand-up comedian best known for his role as a father in the ABC sitcom Full House and as host to the TV home video show America's Funniest Home Videos. Contrary to his saccharine-sweet appearance on Full House, he is also known for his raunchy, vulgar stand-up routines. His parents are William Saget (1924-1991) and Hillary Saget (1926-2001).

After a failed attempt at another sitcom in 2001, Saget has turned to directing.

For several years, he animated "Funniest Home Videos", the American edition of Video Gag, every Sunday at 8 p.m. on ABC. But, this program has been replaced this season (1999-2000) by "The Wonderful World of Disney" (to be translated by "Le Monde Merveux de Disney").

Bob Saget tries a return to comedy: Bob Saget played Daniel "Danny" Tanner in the party at home. He thus embodied for 7 years the good father who raises his three daughters with his brother-in-law and his best friend since the death of his wife. Bob Saget has since enjoyed, in an incredible notoriety in the United States. But since the end of the party at home, we cannot say that he has been overwhelmed by work.

Bob Saget returns to a family comedy broadcast on WB, entitled Raising Dad on September 14, 2001 at 9:30 p.m.

He will play the role of a widower, Mark, doing the best to educate his two daughters Sarah (Kat Dennings) and Emily (Brie Larson) with the help of his father Sam (Jerry Adler, The Sopranos) who lives with him. But it must also be said that Mark is a teacher at his daughter's high school ... and he keeps invading his space and humiliating her in front of his class. A widowed father, too protective ... It is strangely like Danny Tanner but no, it's a new comedy! A hope of originality comes from the fact that the producer of the project is Jonathan Katz, executive producer of the animation series Dr Katz.
