Bob Saget Actor Wallpapers, Biography, Filmography, Photos
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.
Saget was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and then moved to Lexington, Virginia when he was two years old. He attended Rockbridge County High School before moving back to Philadelphia and graduating from Abington Senior High School; he has since been enshrined in its Hall of Fame. He later enrolled at Temple University, where he made a student film, "Through Adam's Eyes," which in 1977 was honored with an award of merit in the Student Academy Awards.
After college, Saget nourished his career with relatively small-scale work. He would later achieve national fame with his role on Full House as the widowed father of three daughters, and as the first host of the prototypical reality show America's Funniest Home Videos. He was the first person to star in two simultaneous prime-time television shows, and both shows were often in the top-ten TV ratings.
