Lori Loughlin & John Stamos Lead Full House Reunion to Honor Bob Saget

As a fan who grew up with the Tanner family and their quirky friends, I can’t help but marvel at the lives these actors have lived since their days on Full House. Lori Loughlin, once Aunt Becky, served time for her role in the college admissions scandal, while Scott Weinger, the dashing Steve Hale, found his voice as Aladdin and penned scripts for 90210. Andrea Barber, our Kimmy Gibbler, has grown into a mother of two and even shared the screen with Dave Coulier again on It’s F*Ckin’ Late with Dave Coulier.


Everywhere you look, there’s a Full House Reunion—even on the red carpet.

Previously television co-stars Lori Laughlin, John Stamos along with his real-life spouse Caitlin McHugh, and their on-screen nieces Candace Cameron Bure and Jodie Sweetin gathered to support a cause dear to their late colleague Bob Saget’s heart. They were snapped together at an event supporting the Scleroderma Research Foundation.

On October 29th, I was there, heart pounding with excitement as John Mayer and Jeff Ross were honored with the award that bore the name of a comedy legend who had been a staple at the event for over two decades before his untimely departure. That legendary figure, you know, the one who made us laugh until our sides ached? He was the one I looked up to as an obsessed fan, and seeing this award in their hands felt like a tribute to him and his incredible work.

Ever since the unexpected passing of Bob in 2022, the Full House family has been dedicated to preserving his memory. Just this past year, on what would have been his 68th birthday, John posted a collection of previously unseen images featuring cast members such as Mary Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen, Dave Coulier, Scott Weinger, Candace, Jodie, and the series creator Jeff Franklin. The group had gathered privately before Bob’s funeral to remember him together.

On Instagram last May, a heartfelt “Happy Birthday Bob” was penned as a caption for a photo taken during his funeral gathering. Despite Bob not being there in person, his spirit resonated profoundly, enveloping us with warmth and evoking memories that brought about laughter and tears. On that day, we all felt the poignancy of his absence yet the unwavering strength of the bond he cultivated among us.

Despite the final season of the show airing back in 1995, a follow-up series premiered in 2016, demonstrating that this onscreen family continues to find a supportive hand whenever they need it. John has been unwaveringly by his former onscreen spouse’s side through thick and thin. In fact, he mentioned that he reached out to his costar during her 2019 college admissions scandal.

In his 2023 memoir titled “If You Would Have Told Me“, he affirmed that Lori Loughlin remains a dear friend until today. They have navigated through trials and tribulations together, offering support during life’s challenges, even witnessing each other at difficult moments in our lives.

Regardless of how severe the blows against Lori were or the intense desire to discredit her and label her alongside ruthless offenders, John noted that she remained steadfast, consistently shielding her daughters from the constant barrage of negative comments they faced. This was in reference to Lori, who together with her spouse Mossimo Giannulli, admitted guilt for conspiracy charges related to falsifying college admissions for their children Olivia Jade and Bella.

Bob Saget played Danny Tanner, the father that appeared to have a cleaning obsession. Although he was the stricter and more responsible adult figure in the house, this neat freak was an amazing single dad who held his family together and kept smiles on all the faces of his loved ones. His role on Entourage shocked us all as Saget played a character that lived life on the wild side—even though it’s not a far cry from his raunchy stand-up material.

Apart from acting, the performer is well-recognized for presenting “America’s Funniest Home Videos” and for returning to his character from “Full House” in the series “Fuller House.

65-year-old Saget passed away in January 2022 following an unfortunate accident where he struck his head in a Florida hotel room, according to his family. He leaves behind three daughters, former spouse Sherri Kramer, and wife Kelly Rizzo.

As a devoted fan, I’d express it like this: I was the jester, the source of laughter, in the TV show as Joey Gladstone, portraying a lively, charming uncle whose humor and wit, particularly the memorable line “cut-it-out,” left an indelible impression. Sharing the responsibility of raising a brood on the hit series Full House, my character was both amusing and affectionate. More recently, I’ve had the pleasure of revisiting my role on Fuller House, lent my voice to the animated TV series China, IL, made appearances in the web series Can’t Get Arrested, and starred on Live and Local.

In 2014, the actor married his second wife, Melissa Bring.

In simpler terms, Rebecca Katsopolis (portrayed by Lori Loughlin) was the charming woman who won Uncle Jesse’s heart.

Andra Barber portrayed Kimmy Gibbler, a character who was like an unwelcome, yet lovable, child that Danny Tanner (or “Mr. T”) never had. Despite often showing up unannounced and overstaying her visits, Kimmy’s strong bond with D.J. made her feel like family. Over time, we grew to adore this character. Later, Andra appeared in the web series titled “It’s F*Ckin’ Late with Dave Coulier” and reprised her role as Kimmy in “Fuller House“. She is a mother of two children.
