Jodie Sweetin’s upcoming comedy show ditches ‘Full House’ wholesomeness for Bob Saget’s raunchy humor, revealing how his off-screen influence shaped her career.
Jodie Sweetin is trading Danny Tanner’s dad jokes for Bob Saget’s blue humor in her new stand-up show, Smoke Show With Jodie Sweetin, set to debut at San Francisco Sketchfest on January 24. The Full House star revealed in a recent interview with the San Francisco Chronicle that her upcoming performance will lean heavily into Saget’s unfiltered, often vulgar comedic style—a stark contrast to the wholesome humor of her iconic sitcom.
“If you’re expecting ‘Full House’ humor, I would say this is not that at all,” Sweetin stated. “This is more Bob Saget, less Danny Tanner.” Her words underscore a deliberate shift from the family-friendly tone of her TV past to the raw, boundary-pushing comedy Saget was known for off-screen.
The Saget Influence: A Comedy Mentorship
Sweetin’s comedic evolution traces back to her years on Full House, where Saget—her on-screen father—served as an unlikely mentor in blue comedy. “I was just a sponge, soaking up blue comedy from Bob my entire life,” she recalled. “He was always looking for a joke in any possible situation, no matter how dark.”
Their dynamic extended beyond the set. Sweetin and Saget often derailed cast group chats with their irreverent humor, forging a bond that transcended their TV roles. “Once I left the ‘Full House’ kids table, Bob and I would just toss it back and forth,” she said, highlighting their shared love for edgy, improvisational comedy.
From Sitcom Sweetheart to Stand-Up Star
After Full House ended in 1995, Sweetin navigated a career beyond the Tanner household. She appeared in shows like Party of Five and later reunited with much of the original cast for Fuller House, the 2016 Netflix reboot that ran until 2020. Yet, her comedic voice remained distinctly shaped by Saget’s influence.
Her upcoming show marks a bold departure from nostalgia, embracing the raunchy humor Saget championed in his stand-up specials. “We were the ones who always derailed the cast’s text group chats,” Sweetin admitted, a testament to their shared comedic sensibilities.
A Legacy of Laughter and Loss
Saget’s death in 2022 at age 65 left a void in the comedy world and the Full House family. Sweetin recently reflected on his absence, telling the San Francisco Chronicle, “I was recently texting with Stamos, and I said, ‘God, I wish Bob was here to come to one of my shows.’”
The cast’s enduring bond is evident in their tributes, including commemorations of the four-year anniversary of Saget’s passing. His legacy lives on not just in reruns but in Sweetin’s fearless embrace of his comedic spirit.
What Fans Can Expect
Sweetin’s show promises a mix of personal anecdotes and unfiltered humor, a far cry from Stephanie Tanner’s catchphrases. Her podcast, How Rude, Tanneritos, co-hosted with Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler), further showcases her comedic range, blending nostalgia with modern wit.
For fans of Full House, Sweetin’s pivot offers a rare glimpse into the rawer, more authentic side of her comedy—one that Saget would undoubtedly approve of.
