Bob Saget was that rarest of comedians -- one who was beloved by families and the foul-minded alike. Saget became a household name through his role as Danny Tanner on the sitcom Full House, which ran from 1987 to 1995 and propelled him into hosting America's Funniest Home Videos in the '90s. Once his time on Home Videos wrapped up in 1997, he returned to stand-up comedy, where he specialized in blue humor. He released his first comedy record, That's What I'm Talkin' About, in 2013. <a href="http
