* He also was the drummer on the 1999 Beach Boys Australian Tour.

Funny Stuff
Bob Saget: The comic in him pokes fun at Full House. "I always thought my character was gay," says Saget. "He lived with two guys in San Francisco and dust-busted all the time. He sure didn't date enough for my taste. I kept asking, 'When is he going to get the girl?' "
Candance Cameron/Bob Saget: Full House was wholesome; Bob Saget often wasn't. "I was always getting in trouble with the girls' moms because I would say terrible things that weren't exactly kid-appropriate," says Saget, 44, a standup comedian turned TV dad. His Full House daughter Candace Cameron Bure got the jokes. "I kind of played dumb," she says. "It was fun to hear those things, but I didn't want the adults to know that I totally understood."
Dave Coulier: When shooting in Hawaii, recalls castmate John Stamos, "we'd get kids to go up to Dave and ask, 'Are you the fat guy on Full House?' " Coulier, who says the show represented "a G-rated dysfunctional family," gave as good as he got. "Dave had a gas problem," says Saget. "He'd let go right in front of the little Olsen twins. Mary-Kate would hold her nose and yell, 'Dave made a stinky!' "
Dave Coulier: Occasionally, Coulier finds himself watching Full House. "I'll be in an airport and hear my own voice," he says. "I'll look around and see a TV set and go, 'Oh, that's a really bad shirt. That's a really bad haircut.' "
John Stamos: "Before every kissing scene, he'd eat Doritos and puff on a cigar," recalls his TV spouse, Lori Loughlin. Stamos's goofy sense of humor endeared him to his castmates
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen: "When they were 2, I used to flap my arms and tell them, 'If you guys run and flap your arms really fast, you can fly!' " recalls Full House castmate Dave Coulier. "Every day I'd ask, 'Are you guys flying yet?' and they'd say, 'No!'"
Candance Cameron: Castmate Dave Coulier introduced the couple at a charity hockey game. ("When Valerí first saw Candace, he just blushed," Coulier recalls.
Andrea Barber: Her only problem - wardrobe. "Once in a while the costume people would say, 'Hey, kids, take home whatever you want,' " recalls Barber. "The others would grab armloads, and I'd just take a pair of pants. My character was obnoxious, had stinky feet and wore things like purple tights and a yellow top. I hated the clothes."
Andrea Barber: "It was hysterical to see this geeky girl next door taking shots at Bob Saget," says House co-creator Robert Boyett.
Lori Loughlin: "I had my first-ever kiss on the show," recalls Candace Cameron Bure. "I asked Lori, 'Am I supposed to keep my eyes open or closed?' She said closed. You wouldn't really want to ask anyone, but you knew you could ask her"
