John Stamos Recalled Feeling So Upstaged By His ‘Full House’ Co-Star Jodie Sweetin He Demanded His Agent Get Him “The F—k Off This Show”

How rude! Turns out, Full House star John Stamos was not the biggest fan of the show — or some of his co-stars — when he first signed on.

During a recent appearance on Hot Ones, Stamos came clean about how he felt during the time in his career when he went from being “a star coming out of General Hospital” to becoming the Uncle Jesse we all know and love.

“I hated that show. Obviously, I ended up loving it, but it was sort of pitched to me as a Bosom Buddies with kids somewhere in the background,” he said on Hot Ones, referring to the 1980 sitcom starring Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari.

He expected the kids to play more minor roles on Full House, recalling how he noticed that they were “spending a lot of time casting these kids that are gonna be background.”

But he hit his breaking point during a table read with the entire cast, including the child actors.

“We started reading and Jodie Sweetin, who plays Stephanie, reads her lines and people are dying laughing. I mean screaming, I was like, ‘What’s happening here,'” Stamos said. “She was getting comments like, ‘Home run!’ They couldn’t even hear my lines, they were laughing so hard at her.”

Stamos went on to say he’ll “never forget” the moment he rushed out to the lobby, where he called his agent and told him, “Get me the fuck off this show!”

His agent urged him to give it a try, which he fortunately did.

“I fought it for a long time and then I realized, what am I doing? It’s a beautiful show we built with sweetness and kindness,” he said.

Stamos might have gotten his start as a daytime television star, but he soon realized that “there was no central character” on Full House. Of course, the child actors played an integral part in the ensemble cast that made the show what it is. Uncle Jesse’s relationship with his nieces and his journey to becoming a dad were also major plot points for his character. There was no avoiding the talent the kids brought to the show.

“The central character is love,” he said. “We were the best representation of a loving family, not a normal family.”

Stamos recalled the same story about Sweetin during an interview earlier this year, where he also revealed he got Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen fired from the show because they were both “screaming” during filming. The girls were soon replaced after he told the show to “get rid of them,” but they fortunately — and swiftly — returned.

“I said, ‘Bring the Olsens back, these kids are terrible,'” he recalled, after admitting that he quickly began to miss them. “It was a day or something, we tried the other kids, it didn’t work.”
