During a July 2026 appearance on Bobby Bones’ podcast The Bobbycast, Stamos, who played Full House hunk Jesse Katsopolis for eight seasons, recalled shooting the pilot for the ABCsitcom with actor John Posey in the role of the Tanner family patriarch.
Stamos admitted it was a messy situation as it unfolded.
“And I think, you know, the chemistry of the show …I don’t know if the show would have been the same with the original guy, obviously. But it was a little weird,” Stamos added of the hit series.
Full House aired from 1987 to 1995 and was part of ABC’s popular TGIF lineup on Friday nights. The beloved family-themed series centered on Saget’s Danny Tanner, a widowed father of three who raises his daughters with the help of his brother-in-law (Stamos) and best friend (Dave Coulier).
In 2014, Posey told Yahoo! Entertainment he was approached to shoot the Full House pilot after an ABC talent scout spotted him in a comedy show.
“It seemed like everything was fine,” he noted. “We shot it. I learned as much as I could in a short period of time. And next thing I know... 'Hey, you're no longer employed.'"
Posey later found out that Saget and Paul Reiser were two actors originally wanted for the Danny Tanner role, but both were obligated to other shows.
Posey added that the Danny Tanner switcheroo was hardest on Candace Cameron and Jodie Sweetin, two of the young actresses who played his daughters in the pilot and would go on play Saget’s character’s daughters for eight subsequent seasons.
