Jodie Sweetin spoke about her TV dad on a new podcast.

"I will say that Bob Saget would be very, very proud," the 42-year-old actress said while discussing her stand-up comedy show, Family Dinner, on Oliver and Kate Hudson's "Sibling Revelry" podcast.

She added, "One of the rules that I give the comedians is, 'we're not recording this. Go for it.' And we have so much fun."

The TV personality shared that bringing together a group of stand-up comedians and encouraging them to pursue leads to some "wildly inappropriate" content.

This unrestricted approach is a trait Sweetin inherited from the comedian, who played Danny Tanner, the loving father to her character, Stephanie, throughout the nine years they starred together on Full House.

Bob Saget died in 2022.

The blonde babe said "one of the huge lessons" she learned "from Bob and Dave [Coulier], who suffered a lot of loss and tragedy in their life" is that they can “make absolutely the darkest jokes at their own expense to deal with death and loss and divorce, and all of these things. I learned that nothing is so big that you can't make fun.”

Sweetin shared that Saget inspired her to try stand-up comedy — something she had never done before.

“Bob always believed in me,” she told Today.com in 2023. “He’d always say, ‘You’re so funny. Your timing’s so great.’ And after he passed… a couple opportunities came up and I started doing it. People were like, ‘Bob would be so proud of you. He would be so proud of you.’”

“They’d keep it clean but they brought that world to me and I absorbed it,” the Pants-Off Dance-Off alum told the outlet. "Every time I get to do comedy, I think of Bob.”

Sweetin also said that since Saget died of blunt head trauma in January 2022, the cast dynamic has changed, as “the head of the family is gone.”
