Bob Saget reveals in his memoir ‘Dirty Daddy’ what really went on behind the scenes of ‘Full House’

BOB Saget, known as Danny Tanner on the 90s sitcom, has written a tell-all. From getting high on set to cleaning up poop, Saget didn’t hold back.

BOB Saget, who played Danny Tanner on Full House, has lifted the lid on what really happened behind the scenes of the family friendly show.

In his soon to be released memoir called Dirty Daddy: The Chronicles of a Family Man Turned Filthy Comedian, Saget revealed that he often misbehaved on set with co-stars Dave Coulier and John Stamos.

“Dave, John and I would egg each other on and we were often driven to outburst of non-family-friendly-humour,” Saget writes.

“When this happened, the producers and the parents of the kids would take us up to the conference room for a good talking-to.

Ashley (or Mary Kate) Olsen with Bob Saget, David Cooulier, Candace Cameron, John Stamos and Jodie Sweetin from Full House.

“For example, when we would go over the scripts together in a conference room with the producers and writers, we were all supposed to be taking notes but I’d be drawing penises on the scripts and showing them to Dave and John like I was in fifth grade.”

In the book, Saget repeatedly mentions just how close he is with his two male co-stars, even if he isn’t fond of some of their habits, such as Coulier’s willingness to pass gas.

“The set always smelled like his (Dave Coulier’s) ass,” Saget writes.

“All the show’s eight seasons of out-take gag reels have the whole cast leaving the stage abruptly the moment Dave releases his ass fumes. It gave true meaning to the term gag reel.”

Saget refers to the Olsen twins as “his family” in the memoir, and he refuses to say anything bad about them.

Bob Saget and John Stamos are great mates in real life.

But he does share a great story about the time he had to change their diapers on set.

“Cameras were rolling and one of the young ladies had made a poop, which had to be removed or we would have been holding a child with a smashed-poo-filled diaper for a long scene,” Saget writes.

“I didn’t want the poo to cause a rash and soil my television child’s butt, so I decided to take the time to remove the aforementioned substance from the diaper, so that my television baby was poo-free.”

As well as numerous funny anecdotes, Saget also talks about the things he regrets from his time on Full House.

Bob Saget is coming to Australia to tour his comedy show.

“Dave, John and I were waiting backstage,” Saget writes.

“We had been waiting awhile – they were still busy shooting some scenes of Michelle and her friends – and I was getting impatient. I grabbed Dave and John and we went into the prop room backstage and locked the door … I swung open the refrigerator, and behold! Six cans of whipped cream. Reddi-wip. Nitrous oxide is dangerous. Can cause brain damage … Dave and John followed my lead and we inhaled the little bit of air still left in the cans that were meant for Michelle’s birthday cake scene. I guess we got high, don’t think so though. It was hard to tell, ‘cause we were in a hurry and whipped cream started squirting everywhere.”

And then there was the time he acted inappropriately on set with a 4ft tall rubber doll.

“They gave me a rubber doll to talk to as a stand-in for camera run-throughs to represent the character of Michelle,” Saget writes.

“Only adults were there. A lot of crew guys whom I liked to make laugh. What could have happened next? Oh yeah, so I’m throwing it around, pretending to do stuff to it, as one would if there were no child actors within a couple soundstages’ distance and you were a comedian with no moral compass in front of a crowd of people … and what I didn’t know was the television monitors were turned on in the schoolroom and all the dressing rooms, and in certain offices on the studio lot. Like I said, I was an idiot.”

Saget will also touring his comedy show in Australia next month.
