It's hard to believe it's been almost 35 years since the show that launched the Olsen twins' career (at 9 months old!) debuted on ABC. "Full House" centered around Danny Tanner, a broadcaster raising three daughters after his wife is killed in a car accident. His brother-in-law, Jesse, and best friend, Joey, move in to help… and the rest is history! To celebrate what would have been star Bob Saget's 66th birthday on May 17, 2022, Wonderwall.com is catching up with all the stars of the classic sitcom… Bob played highly organized Danny Tanner, a former sportscaster and the co-host of "Wake Up, San Francisco." He's been raising daughters D.J., Stephanie and Michelle on his own since wife Pam died in a car crash.
