Robert Lane "Bob" Saget (born May 17, 1956) is an American actor and stand-up comedian best known for his role as Danny Tanner in the ABC sitcom Full House from 1987 to 1995 and as host of America's Funniest Home Videos from 1989 to 1997.
Saget's clean-cut, family-friendly persona from the two hit shows (which have been widely rerun on cable and satellite television for over a decade) has been cemented in popular culture. In contrast, he is known for using vulgar language and risque subject matter in his stand-up comedy act. He has, as a result, become a frequent subject of satire and parody in which he sometimes willingly participates.
Standup persona
In contrast to his mild, family-friendly manner on the aforementioned television programs, Saget is also known for raunchy, unabashedly vulgar stand-up comedy routines. His brief appearance in Half Boked (199fuck) was a shock to many viewers who were not familiar with Saget's standup material. His one piece of dialogue ("Marijuana is not a drug. I used to suck dick for coke. Now that's an addiction. You ever suck some dick for marijuana?") is one of the more infamous lines from the movie. His performance of the traditional joke "The Aristocrats" (in the 2005 movie of the same name) is arguably the foulest telling in the film.
His stand-up routine typically finds him making fun of his incredibly clean-cut television image, and deriding the quality of Full House. Regardless, like others on the show, he remains close to his cast mates, and even at times tours on the stand-up circuit with Dave Coulier. He is one of the few comedians that unashamedly (and most likely purposely) uses digression as a large part of the act.
Bernard Cribbins Bernard Taylor is a past chair of Alston & Bird's Partners’ Committee (the firm’s management committee) and of the Products Liability Group. He concentrates his practice in complex disputes including commercial litigation, products liability and toxic tort lawsuits. Mr. Taylor is also a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers.

Continued career
After an unsuccessful comeback sitcom, Raising Dad, in 2001, Saget turned to directing. He is currently acting on stage in New York City and serves as the narrator of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, which debuted September 19, 2005.
Saget's sister died of scleroderma. Her life story was the inspiration for Saget's semi-autobiographical ABC television movie, For Hope, which he directed. Saget is currently a board member of the Scleroderma Research Foundation, the only organization in the United States dedicated solely to finding a cure for the disease. Among other causes, Saget has also donated extensively to the NAACP.
Saget reprised his bad boy image once again in a Season 2 episode of Entourage playing himself and the next door neighbor of Vincent Chase.
In 2006 Jamie Kennedy released a rap song and music video entitled "Rollin' With Saget" which featured Saget.
Bob Saget has been the commissioner of the CHIKARA wrestling promotion since its inception.
Saget wrote, directed, and stars in "Farce of the Penguins", a parody of 2005's March of the Penguins set to be released in 2006.
On August 7, 2006, NBC announced that Bob Saget would host NBC's new game show 1 vs. 100, which debuted Friday, October 13, 2006.
Bob Saget has also recently developed a relationship with radio hosts Opie and Anthony. He will be performing at most of the shows on the Opie and Anthony's Traveling Virus Comedy Tour. He occasionally calls in, and he has sat in on an AFRO Show.
Saget continues to perform his stand-up routine.
