John Stamos famously played Uncle Jesse on the hit ABC family sitcom, Full House. Stamos recently revealed, however, that he wanted to quit the show before filming even began.
During an April 2026 interview with Access Hollywood, alongside his Full House castmate, Jodie Sweetin, Stamos noted that he was cast as Jesse after starring on General Hospital as the character Blackie Parrish. The actor said that because he was a "big shot" on the soap opera, he believed he would also be the star of Full House, which premiered in 1987.
According to Stamos, he soon realized that the show's child actors, specifically Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner, were getting all the attention.
"I said, 'This is my show.' And we start reading and then this little one just starts doing the jokes and hitting every joke out of the park," recalled Stamos, gesturing to a smiling Sweetin. "I got maybe one or two laughs, you know, at the table. And I'm just slowly like sinking down."
Stamos then said that he immediately called his manager to try to quit Full House.
"I remember running out to the payphones at the time and jamming in a quarter, calling my manager, 'Get me off this show,'" said Stamos.
The actor clarified that he eventually "just fell in love with the show."
In a 2023 interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Stamos suggested he wasn't all that happy about starring on Full House during its first season. He explained that he hadn't pictured himself acting on a family sitcom that wasn't getting the best reviews.
"I'm not going to lie, it was very difficult a lot of it was. Because it just wasn't where I saw myself. I mean, the reviews were like, 'This show won't last 'til Thanksgiving,'" said Stamos, who played Jesse throughout the show's eight-season run.
He then said he is "so proud of it now."
"I'm really happy that I did that show," continued Stamos during the 2023 interview.
Stamos returned to play Jesse for the 2016 Netflix reboot, Fuller House, which ran for five seasons.
