If you don’t remember this series, you may not have had a childhood (or you may not have gray hair yet). The fact is that Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber, known for their roles in the iconic series Full House, have shared heartfelt memories of their childhood on set through their popular podcast How Rude, Tanneritos!. Since the show’s start, when Sweetin was only five years old and Barber was eleven, the two actresses have accumulated a series of anecdotes that reflect not only their experience as young artists, but also their admiration for colleagues like John Stamos and the late Bob Saget.
More famous than Bob Saget
In a recent episode, Barber recalled a funny incident where a fan recognized her as Kimmy Gibbler, but not Saget, who was one of the most beloved stars of the show. This anecdote, which Barber shares with laughter, happened during a walk they took together at CityWalk. “The fan asked me for an autograph and not a word to Bob,” Barber mentioned, highlighting Saget’s proud expression when he realized that even in his star status, it was she who was attracting the attention. “He was so proud of not being recognized…,” she added.
In addition to his role in Full House, Bob Saget was known for his role as host on America’s Funniest Home Videos, a show that captured funny moments before the era of social media. This additional recognition made his legacy extend even further in pop culture. Barber, recalling the situation, reflected: “It was very satisfying, I must admit”, echoing the appreciation he had for Saget’s career and their friendship.
The memories of Sweetin and Barber not only celebrate their shared history but also pay tribute to an icon who left an indelible mark on family entertainment. For more details about their stories, you can tune in to the latest episode of their podcast.
