Bob Saget is a Grammy-nominated stand-up comedian, actor, director and television host. It was his family-friendly roles as the loveable Danny Tanner on "Full House" and as the original host of "America's Funniest Home Videos" that made Saget a household name, but it is his edgy stand-up routines, comedy specials, and appearances in The Aristocrats and "Entourage" that solidified his reputation as a true original with an irreverent sense of humor and unique personality.

Saget starred in the critically acclaimed, Paul Weitz off-Broadway play, Privilege, his first book, Dirty Daddy (2014), is a New York Times Best Seller and his third one hour stand-up special, "That's What I'm Talkin' About," was nominated for a 2014 Grammy Award.

This fall, Saget will be seen in a guest starring role on the FOX series, "Grandfathered," and in 2016 he will be seen in the Netflix series, "Fuller House," and he continues touring performing stand-up to sold out audiences in theaters internationally.
