Bob Saget podcast

July 1st, 2008 by David Lee Simmons

Former “Full House” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos” star Bob Saget has reinvented himself in recent years with his stand-up routine and blue humor, most famously captured in the 2005 documentary The Aristocrats, as well as his 2006 direct-to-video comedy Farce of the Penguins.

How do you sense the audience’s reaction to the paradox of your off-color humor compared with your image from “Full House” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos” now as opposed to a few years ago?

[After the two shows ended] I started hitting the clubs more, trying to figure out where I lost my funny gene. For me, it was like a 12-year project. I’m always a comedian. It’s the root of what I do and what I want to do. I found out what I thought was funny again and I always kind of talked the way I talk now, but I’m 52 now, when I was 32 hosting those shows, and a guy will change, hopefully. I started not to care as much and do what I thought was funny. Through the whole process audiences thought it was funny, so it’s the longest 15-year overnight transition that an artist can grow through.
