Profession:

Robert Lane 'Bob' Saget is a well-known and 'in your face' stand up for comedians, television directors and television actors. He was born and raised in Pennsylvania and completed his doctoral studies at Pretoria University. It was there that he created his first work called 'Eyes's Adam's'. He was constantly struggling with his comedy career by doing up-and-forth at various comedy clubs where he made friends with many well-known comedians. Eventually it was his leading role in the American sitcom ‘Full House’, where he played the role of a widowed father with three young girls, which earned his the kind of success he deserved. He did a lot of television shows after that - most of them were family and had a good sense of humor. He is the creator of many creative projects such as: 'Farce of the Penguins', which is a spoof in the natural text, 'Bob Saget: That's Wrong', HBO's starring show and 'Hope' is a sensitive movie.

QUOTES BY Bob Saget

"One of the first things I ever did was 'Critical Condition.' That was before 'Full House.' It was a Richard Pryor movie. I didn't have a giant part, but I was in it throughout. I loved the heck out of it."

"Like with any good art form, if you can entertain people and make them think, it's an honor. It's just an honor to be a comedian."

"The whole thing for me is that I did 'Full House' and 'America's Funniest Home Videos,' and I look like a dentist, and I'm a dad. Being known as a dirty comedian turned into this weird thing. It's people's image of me."

"There's just something about the audiences in Detroit that I've always felt connected to. Detroit is different."

"I think things just happen to people. That's healthier, I feel, than believing there's some grand scheme where your story is already inscribed in the Book of Life. Books get rewritten."

"Now I've literally become neighborhood watch. I call 911 on people. I'm the old man driving 25-miles-per-hour down Sunset."

"I had enough therapy to know when I broke it down, it became clearer to me: Yes, comedy was kind of a cleansing thing for me to do."

"It's still a soft R, but when I watch other people's standup, I'm dumbfounded that people call me dirty. That's only because I did family television."

"I really love standup because it's something that I've been literally doing for 40 years, which means I'm a thousand years old."

"People learn English from 'Full House.' Candace's husband, Valeri Bure, he learned to speak English watching it... 'Aw, nuts.' 'You got it, dude.'"

"I wasn't the first choice for the role of Danny Tanner. Betty White was. Not true, but there was another actor whom they had shot the pilot with."
