The World

Back in the 1980s, Bob Saget played Danny Tanner, the harried father in the long running family friendly sitcom Full House. He also hosted America’s Funniest Home Videos and built a career on his non-threatening looks, non-threatening work and all around aw-shucks demeanor. So when he appeared in the 2005 documentary The Aristocrats performing one of the filthiest, funniest retellings of one of the dirtiest jokes of all time, America got a whole new look at Bob Saget. He followed up this appearance with a profanity laced HBO standup special entitled “That Ain’t Right,” and has parlayed this success into a starring role on Broadway, where he’s appearing as the “Man in Chair” in the Tony Award winning musical “The Drowsy Chaperone.
