| Besides
being Lord of all the known Universe, Bob Saget
has had a very distinguished career in Hollywood
as well...
Bob
Saget is best known as the star of ABC's "Full
House" for eight seasons and as the host
of "America's Funniest Home Videos."
Unfortunately, these shows were not able to show
Lord Saget for who he really is: the dirtiest
and, by far, funniest man alive (as anyone who
has ever seen his stand-up routine can surely
vouch). It was only because of Lord Saget's Godly
powers that the Olsen Twins were able to become
as popular as they are today; for without the
guidance of a supreme being, they would probably
be working the pole at some strip club!
Saget
also executive produced and starred in "Father
and Scout" in 1995, a presentation of "The
ABC Family Movie." In 1990, he wrote, directed
and starred in the one-hour special, "In
the Dream State," which earned him a Cable
ACE nomination for directing. Saget also directed
the movie "Dirty Work," a hilarious
movie starring Norm Macdonald. He has also made
numerous TV appearances, including "The Tonight
Show," "Late Show With David Letterman,"
"Saturday Night Live", "The Larry
Sanders Show," "Late Night," and
"Comic Relief," a cause that is very
close to his heart. He has also made cameo appearances
in movies such as "Dumb and Dumber"
and "Half Baked," in which he played
a dick sucking coke head (surely one of his better
roles).
Raised
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Norfolk, Virginia;
Encino, California, and, of course, Heaven, Saget
built his foundation in entertainment by performing
and writing stand-up comedy, which he has pursued
for almost 30 years. He supported himself during
the early days of his career with stand-up gigs
at The Comedy Store and The Improv, studying with
acting coach Darryl Hickman for five years and
spending a year with the Groundlings Workshops.
He also toured with many top musical acts, playing
at such venues as Carnegie Hall and the main showrooms
of Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Atlantic City.
After
moving to New York in 1987, he began a six-month
stint as co-host of "The Morning Program,"
with Mariette Hartley and Rolland Smith, where
he produced and directed his own videos daily.
In 1986, Saget co-starred in the Richard Pryor
film, "Critical Condition," directed
by Michael Apted.
Saget
began making eight-millimeter movies from age
nine through graduation from Temple University's
film school in 1978. Before coming to Los Angeles,
he earned a Student Academy Award for writing,
directing and editing the documentary short, "Through
Adam's Eyes." Later that year, the short
was exhibited at FILMEX, the Los Angeles Film
Festival
