Career

Even though he started his career in stand-up comedy, touring aggressively throughout the country, Saget first tasted success once he appeared on TV. His first talk show appearance was on "TheMerv GriffinShow" in 1981. He then had a brief stint as a member of "The Morning Program" on CBS in early 1987, but it was his casting as Danny Tanner on the show "Full House" that really made him a household name. The series was very popular and was consistently ranked in the Nielsen Top 30 from its third season onward. It has continued to gain popularity through syndicated reruns. On it, Saget played Danny Tanner, a widower raising his three daughters with the help of his brother-in-law, Jesse, and his best friend, Joey. The show ran from 1987 to 1995 and had a total of eight seasons and 192 episodes.

In 1989, Saget also began working as the host of the show "America's Funniest Home Videos" ("AFV"), a role he continued to hold until 1997. During the early 1990s, while both shows were airing, he worked simultaneously on "Full House" and "AFV." In 1996, Saget directed the ABC television movie "For Hope." It was inspired by the life story of his sister, Gay Saget, who had passed away three years earlier from scleroderma. Bob went on to direct his first feature film in 1998, "Dirty Work," starring Norm Macdonald andArtie Lange. It was released to widely negative reviews and did not perform well at the box office. However, since then, it has become a cult favorite, possibly due to Lange's later popularity on "TheHoward SternShow." From October 2001 to May 2002, Saget starred in the short-lived sitcom on The WB, "Raising Dad," alongsideKat Dennings,Brie Larson, andJerry Adler.
