Throughout his 25 year career, Bob Saget is a true hyphenate, successfully cultivating an extensive and impressive repertoire of acting, directing, stand-up comedy, writing, and producing achievements.
Saget is known world-wide for his television roles and set a precedent by simultaneously starring in two hit prime time series, as "Danny Tanner" on the eight year run sitcom FULL HOUSE and the host of AMERICA'S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEO'S. Saget set a precedent as the first person to simultaneously star in two prime-time series. The two series often placed in the top ten, and are now hugely popular in syndication worldwide.
He also played the role of Matt Stewart in RAISING DAD, a series created by Jonathan Katz for the WB. Bob has been seen over the years on THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW, hosted SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE and appeared countless times on LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN, THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN, and THE TONIGHT SHOW, with both Jay Leno and Johnny Carson, and made numerous appearances on HBO's annual homeless effort of past, COMIC RELIEF.
He executive produced and directed the critically acclaimed and powerful ABC telefilm FOR HOPE, a story loosely based on the life and struggle of Saget's sister, Gay, who passed away in 1994 from Scleroderma. It often still runs on Lifetime and other cable channels. He directed the MGM feature film DIRTY WORK, an episode of HBO's comedy THE MIND OF THE MARRIED MAN, as well as the telefilms, JITTERS for Lifetime and BECOMING DICK for E! Entertainment Television. Additionally, Saget executive produced and starred in the ABC Family Movie FATHER AND SCOUT, as well as wrote, directed, and starred in the HBO special IN THE DREAM STATE.
A few years ago, Saget was honored by Harvard University. He was inducted as an honorary member of The Harvard Lampoon, joining the likes of past recipients: John Irving, Kurt Vonnegut, David Mamet, the cast of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, John Wayne, and Winston Churchill.
Saget just recently completed starring in the hit off Broadway show, PRIVILEGE, written by Paul Weitz, writer and director of "In Good Company" and "About a Boy," and directed by Peter Askin, of "Hedwig and the Angry Itch." PRIVILEGE was sold out, received rave reviews, and ran for over seventy performances.
Bob guest-starred on the first season of the Showtime series HUFF, starring Hank Azaria, Oliver Platt and Blythe Danner; and most recently received kudos for his comedically controversial performance on this new second season of HBO's hit series, ENTOURAGE.
Saget was also seen in the hilarious and controversial documentary feature film, THE ARISTOCRATS (banned at all AMC Theaters), where his appearance has been getting raves from The New York Times, The New York Observer, and Entertainment Weekly, who said, "...This is the host of America's Funniest Home Videos as you've never seen him before."
His stand-up is growing exponentially. Headlining the House of Blues in Las Vegas, theaters, and colleges, his packed-housed audiences all grew up watching him. Now, they're watching him grow up.
Bob is very proud to be an active member of the board of directors of the Scleroderma Research Foundation and is also on the board of the Starlight/Starbright Children's Foundation. He hosts and produces three major fund-raising events every eighteen months, for the Scleroderma Research Foundation: in New York, Los Angeles, and the organization's base city, San Francisco. Through these events, he has helped to raise millions in the quest to drive Scleroderma into remission, to help find a cure for it's hundreds of thousands of victims. Bob resides in Los Angeles and is the extremely proud father of three beautiful daughters.
Music Box: The Music Box, which is also the Comedy Club, hosts top notch talent in an intimate 1000 seat theater.
