episodes of the NBC show "1 vs. 100."

Saget returns to the New

year host of "America's Funniest Home Videos." Saget recently
guest-starred on NBC's "Law & Order: SVU," HBO's "Entourage," and was

"To chase his blues away, a modern day musical theatre
addict known simply as "Man in Chair" (Bob Saget) drops the needle on his
favorite cast album – the 1928 musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone. From the
crackle of his hi-fi, the uproariously funny musical magically bursts to life
on stage. We are instantly immersed in the hilarious tale of a glamorous bride
and her uproarious wedding day, complete with thrills and surprises that take
both the cast (literally) and the audience (metaphorically) soaring into the heavens.
Man in Chair's infectious love of The
Drowsy Chaperone speaks to anyone who has ever been transported by the
theater," explain press notes.
