'I made him a hugger': How Bob Saget created the defining TV dad of his generation
Bob Saget was 30 years old when he gave his first hug as Danny Tanner, the clean-freak, embrace-prone widower raising three daughters with his best friend and brother-in-law in ABC’s “Full House.” He’d give roughly 10 trillion more from `1987 until the show’s end in 1994: Before “virtual hugs” became part of the text lexicon, there was Danny Tanner on TV.

“I was having kids the whole time it started — my oldest daughter is a year younger than Ashley and Mary-Kate [Olsen],” Saget said, reflecting on that era of his life. “It was a place where everyone was always trying to make it better, including the cast. I realized I was kind of the Rich Cunningham on the show. I was the straight guy. I wasn’t the acerbic guy, which wouldn’t have worked. I was the pure guy.
“With my stand-up comedy, there’s no way to avoid the fact that I did this and I’m proud of it [now],” he said. “My complaining only came from being a 30-year-old guy who has Jewish neurosis and was doing two shows that were very popular and very G-rated. I’m glad there wasn’t Twitter back then because there would be many people to block.”Saget described returning to the character decades later as a special, albeit surreal, experience.
