SHUT UP, UNCLE JESSE

06.09.09 Written by Vince Mancini

It’s hard to tell if he was being serious – mainstream journalists are famously unable to detect sarcasm – but John Stamos says he’s “working on” an idea for a Full House movie.  When I work on an idea, I generally stick my tongue out the corner of my mouth and squint really hard.

“I’m not 100% sure, but it would probably take place in the first few years” of the 1987-95 series.  The former “ER” doc votes for James Franco to reprise Stamos’ role as Jesse Katsopolis. “I see Steve Carell as [Bob Saget’s character] Danny Tanner and Tracy Morgan as [Dave Coulier’s] Joey Gladstone because he’s funny,” he added.

He had to be joking, but as we’ve already seen, now is not the time to joke about remake ideas.  Especially not when Bob Saget gets an hour-long HBO special, a guest spot on Entourage, and his own comedy central roast on the strength of “I used to be Danny Tanner.”  Good for you.  Now it’s time to go ride off into the sunset with Tom Bergeron, doing silly voices and laughing at your own jokes the whole way.

CLORIS LEACHMAN WANTS TO F JOHN STAMOS

08.07.08 Written by Vince Mancini

Cloris Leachman claims to have won an Oscar (probably for that silent movie about the guy who can’t figure out why the water won’t come out of his garden hose), so I guess that makes this movie related.  In the video after the jump, she demonstrates the best part of any Comedy Central Roast, confused-looking old people saying really dirty things.  Opening line: "I didn’t come here to roast Bob Saget.  I came here to F John Stamos."  Funny, but she’s leaving the door wide open for a "Clitoris Leachman" joke.

Bob Saget (More like Bob FAG-et! Feel free to use that one.) has had quite the career.  He’s gone from mediocre comedian to wholesome TV star to comedian who makes mediocre jokes about being a wholesome TV star.  Somehow he’s convinced everyone that he’s really dirty.  No grown man should act that embarrassed about saying the F word.  But then, I may be a poor judge, the only things that offend me are speech impediments and The Disney Channel.  


Bob Saget Roast premieres August 19th on Comedy Central
