Speaker 1: Hey there, Fanarritos, Welcome back to a brand new episode
Speaker 1: of How Rude Tanertos. Today we're chatting with Keith Richmond,
Speaker 1: the assistant director and stage manager throughout the entire series
Speaker 1: of Full House. To put it in perspective, Keith worked
Speaker 1: on one hundred and ninety episodes with us. That's a
Speaker 1: lot of time spent together. He played a big hand
Speaker 1: in Full House's evolution over eight seasons, and we can't
Speaker 1: wait to talk to him about full House and the
Speaker 1: many other projects he's participated in over the years. So
Speaker 1: please welcome Keith key Hie.
Speaker 2: Hi, Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness. I haven't seen
Speaker 2: this face in so long, right I could say this.
Speaker 1: Hi, Oh my gosh. This is so special. We've been
Speaker 1: talking about you, and we've been seeing you, yes, in
Speaker 1: your cameo appearances.
Speaker 2: Wake there for five yeah, right and five.
Speaker 3: Did you just hear that in your sleep? You're like,
Speaker 3: but I can't say one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't say one. No. Parlo used to say phobia, phobia, Yes,
Speaker 2: very exactly. Man.
Speaker 3: We're so excited to have you on the show today
Speaker 3: and we just kind of jump right into the to it.
Speaker 2: So here we are you.
Speaker 3: I mean you basically worked like NonStop since the early
Speaker 3: eighties as stage manager a D.
Speaker 2: Which okay, we have a question, what is Is.
Speaker 3: There a difference between stage manager and a D or
Speaker 3: is it just that they have sort of called it
Speaker 3: something different now?
Speaker 2: No, there is a difference. Oh okay, yeah, the.
Speaker 4: First the first assistant director is responsible for a whole
Speaker 4: lot more. I mean with you know, call sheets, pressure reports,
Speaker 4: which you don't do as a stage manager. But once,
Speaker 4: once we hit the film lots so on Full House,
Speaker 4: I was responsible for that. Right, it's still called at
Speaker 4: a stage manager because it was videotape. Right then they
Speaker 4: changed the category to multi camera first a D.
Speaker 2: Okay, it didn't matter what the media was. Oh okay, okay,
Speaker 2: So that's that's was the evolution.
Speaker 4: But originally if stage manager, if I was doing a
Speaker 4: game show, right, walk in, run the floor, have a
Speaker 4: little bit of interface with some of the departments, but
Speaker 4: not not.
Speaker 3: Not not have to do the nightmare of scheduling and
Speaker 3: the shooting schedule.
Speaker 2: As a first a D.
Speaker 4: You know there reports, hired all the extras, interface with
Speaker 4: all the departments, make sure special effects knew what they
Speaker 4: needed to do, check with all the apartments constantly and
Speaker 4: readjust the schedule and then break down the script.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the first job is yeah, all the work for
Speaker 2: the director. It's fine, glad to be of serros, but.
Speaker 1: You arguably had the hardest job on the entire show.
Speaker 3: Like first first ad, because that's what that gets alone,
Speaker 3: the hardest job.
Speaker 2: We have tony stories about dealing with Bob Poppins.
Speaker 3: I do we are, I can't wait, I just I
Speaker 3: do remember there would be times when finally he was like,
Speaker 3: oh god, Keith has been pushed too.
Speaker 1: Far, just like, just come on the level of potions
Speaker 1: you must have had, you know.
Speaker 2: Bob was always like, I got to get out of here,
Speaker 2: and get out of here.
Speaker 4: Well, Bob stopped flowing around, right, do your job.
Speaker 2: The outtakes we have me having that exchange money, I
Speaker 2: gotta go. Well then stop, yeah, concentrate you. We're asking
Speaker 2: because otherwise I got zwick.
Speaker 3: Yell out in my air and I remember you, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I bet.
Speaker 4: I used to go up and talk to the guys
Speaker 4: and uh, you ask him to do something, can you guys,
Speaker 4: you know, step over here, do this and they would
Speaker 4: look at me and go, We're screaming at the air
Speaker 4: at l because he was and I have Yes, it's
Speaker 4: like that too. You know, I don't need to project
Speaker 4: that to you guys. You know I had to be
Speaker 4: the filter. I still have my hair and I'm still standing,
Speaker 4: so I don't know how.
Speaker 3: Which is impressive for an AD because usually there, Yeah,
Speaker 3: they just stress them out until they're broken. Little piles
Speaker 3: of people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot.
Speaker 3: I have huge respect for like stage manager first a
Speaker 3: d because it is you, like the list of things
Speaker 3: that you're responsible for making sure happen is insane, and
Speaker 3: you are the conduit sort of between like you know,
Speaker 3: video village or whatever and what's happening with the actors
Speaker 3: and you're getting screamed at but you can't scream. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're kind of in a rock, between a rock and
Speaker 3: a hard place in a lot of ways.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So well, early on when I started stage ranching, I
Speaker 4: came up with an analogy for the job and I
Speaker 4: still hold it to be a good description, which is
Speaker 4: you have to be part party host and part traffic
Speaker 4: cop and not let people know you're the traffic cop. Right,
Speaker 4: So you're moving them around, you're telling them what to do,
Speaker 4: but you're doing it with a smile.
Speaker 2: On your face and letting them know that you're there
Speaker 2: for them, right and the great analogy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it does translate to first ad only then
Speaker 4: you have to add all these other elements of figure
Speaker 4: out the shooting schedule, check with all the departments, make
Speaker 4: sure and go smoothly.
Speaker 2: I'll be ready for any any hiccup that comes your way. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just remember when we were doing Fuller, especially like
Speaker 3: we would be leaving for the night and poor Adam
Speaker 3: and Chris were like still in the eighty office like
Speaker 3: hashing it out through.
Speaker 2: We can't do run this tomorrow.
Speaker 3: We can't shoot this now because we got to do
Speaker 3: this first, and you know, and they were there long
Speaker 3: before us and long after.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a long it's definitely the case.
Speaker 4: And also you know you're chaining the schedule with every rewrite,
Speaker 4: so you know, crew and and now you have to
Speaker 4: redo the schedule because you know, then they do the
Speaker 4: me right, then you have to go back and redo
Speaker 4: the schedule, and you have to have ready for everyone.
Speaker 4: If I was, If I was, we were doing a
Speaker 4: Monday Tuesday shot, which I think we were in pole House.
Speaker 2: No, we did, we were a Thursday, Friday, Friday. Your
Speaker 2: Thursday Friday.
Speaker 1: Then because the kids wouldn't have school the next morning
Speaker 1: on Saturdays, so we stay late Friday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, later for the audience. That's right, guys, are right,
Speaker 4: And I remember now, yeah remember everything?
Speaker 2: I mean I don't. I don't remember hardly anything these days.
Speaker 3: What was your first what was your.
Speaker 2: First like stage managing eighty job? Interesting?
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, So I started actually started in the carpenter
Speaker 4: shop at NBC.
Speaker 2: Okay, carpenter. I was building eight great walls, twelve hours
Speaker 2: a day. Wow. We would call in every day to
Speaker 2: get the call for the next day.
Speaker 4: Because I was not very high ranking, right, somebody would
Speaker 4: get on the phone, they would dial and once they
Speaker 4: got through, it was before any technology. Yeah, let's they
Speaker 4: would get through, they called the rest of the crew
Speaker 4: over and you find out what you were doing the
Speaker 4: next day.
Speaker 2: Okay, say hey.
Speaker 4: And somebody finally said to me, hey, when they ask
Speaker 4: you if you're a carpenter.
Speaker 2: Say no instead of saying yes, okay, So I.
Speaker 4: Did, and I ended up my first call on a stage,
Speaker 4: not as a carpenter, was twelve oh one prop and.
Speaker 2: Around she going the man okay, oh wow. And that
Speaker 2: was at NBC. And then I got a job on.
Speaker 4: Staff at k T l A as a stage hand
Speaker 4: and we would do lighting one day and we would.
Speaker 2: Do you know, gripping the next day. Right, and uh,
Speaker 2: I eventually moved my way into being a prop person. Okay,
Speaker 2: I didn't know that we had one.
Speaker 3: Who did we have on? That was our we had
Speaker 3: from Fuller. We had Steve Gerard, our Fuller house person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had a great problem full House.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh, Robert Roger Roger.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had Roger Law not Roger Soger Montesano.
Speaker 2: And Property Bob.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because we had to call him property Bob because
Speaker 3: there was Bob the dog and Bob the.
Speaker 2: Saggat, so it was the saggot. Yeah. And yet so
Speaker 2: it was a lot of Bob's.
Speaker 5: Yes, Halloween is around the corner and your favorite podcaster
Speaker 5: serving up episodes that are so good it's actually scary.

Speaker 5: to talk about the ballroom, the leaderboard and more. Listen
Speaker 5: now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you
Speaker 5: get your podcast.
Speaker 4: To answer your question, what happened was I started as
Speaker 4: I became prop man. I worked on a talk show
Speaker 4: called Hour Magazine and I did all the food styling.
Speaker 2: Oh, I did all the preparation.
Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, one of the things that
Speaker 4: that got my wife to pay attention to even be
Speaker 4: interested in me is I have a picture of myself
Speaker 4: with Julia Child.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's cool.
Speaker 4: But what happened is is they would send a recipe,
Speaker 4: I would do all the preparation. I would do a
Speaker 4: finished product. You lay out all the bowls they do.
Speaker 4: I want to go this, this, this and this, and
Speaker 4: here's the finished product. Right.
Speaker 3: I've done those before when I've hosted stuff and you're like,
Speaker 3: oh and now we're.
Speaker 2: Making a thing, and you're like, okay.
Speaker 3: Just ignore all the stuff that we just hear the thing,
Speaker 3: because here's the finished one exactly.
Speaker 4: And I was missed firstly because I would make it
Speaker 4: all look real pretty and oh but what happened was
Speaker 4: because you follow the script as a prop man. At
Speaker 4: KTLA at the time, back in the day, stage managers
Speaker 4: were not BGA. They were I A on that onok okay,
Speaker 4: so they were like, hey, you know how to follow
Speaker 4: a script. We're making you a statement here. So some
Speaker 4: of my my my first stage managing job was on
Speaker 4: our magazine and that's when I came.
Speaker 2: Up with that analogy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they have to have all these people coming through,
Speaker 4: you know, chefs and stars and you know even Kirk
Speaker 4: Douglas and Jimmy Stewart and those kind of people coming through.
Speaker 4: Have some pictures from back then which you don't want
Speaker 4: to see. But anyway, that that was my first stage
Speaker 4: managing job. And then then they would move me around.
Speaker 2: And I did.
Speaker 4: Dance Fever okay, and that was with Danny Terrio just
Speaker 4: way before you guys time. But it was so so
Speaker 4: much fun, and that was the show that I got
Speaker 4: my Gigia carn On.
Speaker 2: Oh that's awesome.
Speaker 4: And then, you know, just fortunate enough to be the
Speaker 4: guy that people could I guess that, you know, I
Speaker 4: look back and I go, what was it? And I
Speaker 4: think it was the guy that people could trust because
Speaker 4: I was committed to it. But I never you know,
Speaker 4: I just I just listened to a podcast which is
Speaker 4: with mister Clip that he did and.
Speaker 6: He kind of had a similar path in that I
Speaker 6: didn't have a goal to be a first ad. It
Speaker 6: just yeah, you know, the opportunities came and you have
Speaker 6: to step up.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: I was a pretty shy guy initially, but next thing,
Speaker 4: you know, you're running the production meeting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, better step up. So it kind of brought me
Speaker 2: out from.
Speaker 3: Being Yeah, I mean you definitely learned, you know, and
Speaker 3: being in charge of it, directing, stage managing anything, you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: I have to be official to be shocked to look
Speaker 3: like I know what I'm doing right.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I went from game shows. I did Jeopardy the first
Speaker 4: two seasons with.
Speaker 2: Really Yeah, that was so cool, A great guy. I
Speaker 2: did a Wheel of Fortune.
Speaker 4: I was doing a lot of game shows, still doing
Speaker 4: our magazine, and and I got a call from a
Speaker 4: guy who is doing a sitcom on the Disney lot.
Speaker 2: So now you're moving video onto film lots.
Speaker 4: And this goes back question about category change, and which
Speaker 4: is okay, so now I'm doing Now I step into that.
Speaker 4: But once you're on a film lot, they expect you
Speaker 4: to do proction reports and call sheets.
Speaker 2: But they still gave you a stage manager title. But
Speaker 2: the DJA, finally.
Speaker 4: You know, wis up to that, and they changed the category.
Speaker 4: And I was told a couple of times that I
Speaker 4: was a perfect progression of that, moving from stage manager
Speaker 4: to what they now called multi camera first DA dat Right, Okay,
Speaker 4: that was but you know it was interesting. I listened
Speaker 4: to your your podcast with Lenny Reps. Yeah, I totally
Speaker 4: agree with him. I still the thing that people talk
Speaker 4: to me about, and the thing that I talk about the.
Speaker 2: Most is full house.
Speaker 4: It's like when he said, it gets you a good reservation.
Speaker 2: And I even have some cast photos that you know, guys,
Speaker 2: you know that's so cool. Yeah.
Speaker 4: But so what I wanted to say is, you know,
Speaker 4: I have the pleasure of watching you guys grow up
Speaker 4: and being kind of hopefully your dad on the set
Speaker 4: when I could be and protect you from Dave.
Speaker 3: Dave's yeah, yeah and Bob right, guys, stop.
Speaker 1: The kids are there on the set right o.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was plenty of time when things happened, and
Speaker 4: after the scene I knew it was about to happen,
Speaker 4: and it was the.
Speaker 2: Mom's and walking down the hallway to have words with him. Dave,
Speaker 2: you guys can't do that. You can't do that. I
Speaker 2: will tell you what it was.
Speaker 3: I will five things right now on top of it.
Speaker 2: The not my head.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, let's just say he would always wait till
Speaker 4: a Maricayter Ashley was standing right next to him, even
Speaker 4: with his butt.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Now we've talked about Yeah, we had Dave
Speaker 3: on the show and we've worn the world that don't
Speaker 3: stand too close behind him.
Speaker 2: It's dangerous taking your own life in your hands.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and actually Mary Kate would have been like five
Speaker 3: to nine, you know.
Speaker 2: But they's just he's stunted their growth. Yeah, it's really unfortunate.
Speaker 2: But what I wanted thinking about it all.
Speaker 4: And what I wanted to tell you guys is that
Speaker 4: I think, looking back, we were a family.
Speaker 2: That did a show about a family. Mmmm. That's that's
Speaker 2: what it became.
Speaker 4: We were absolute close and it was great and I
Speaker 4: know you guys, I'm sure you guys are still close
Speaker 4: with everyone.
Speaker 2: And Warehouse which was fabulous. You got to it was
Speaker 2: so much fun. A lot of seasons which is great too.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean not those nice network seasons twenty
Speaker 3: four to twenty six, but but we'll take it.
Speaker 2: We'll take it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it was And I always say that that's
Speaker 3: what That's why I think people fell in love with
Speaker 3: this show and it's stayed around so long, is that
Speaker 3: it wasn't just a show. It was a family doing
Speaker 3: a show together and that love and relationships and all
Speaker 3: of that like it felt, and people fell in love
Speaker 3: with it because it was real, because it wasn't It
Speaker 3: wasn't a bunch of people pretending to be a family
Speaker 3: and care about each other and go through stuff. It
Speaker 3: was legitimately. The adults took care of the kids and
Speaker 3: they loved us, and we let you know, the moms
Speaker 3: were there.
Speaker 2: It was like those guys protected you and you know
Speaker 2: it was it was great.
Speaker 4: And yeah when I tried to predict them, you know,
Speaker 4: from themselves.
Speaker 2: Mostly from themselves, right right from or Jewel. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: Oh no, go for it. Joel. Joel. By the way,

Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He said he's better behind the camera than in front
Speaker 1: of it, so on the podcast, which I totally respect.
Speaker 3: He could just do like a like an intro announcer
Speaker 3: voice and we could just have to be like the
Speaker 3: voice of God.
Speaker 2: You know, it's just us and he's.
Speaker 3: Off camera and it's just you know, him doing some
Speaker 3: weird announcement or for an airline or something.

Speaker 1: a few months ago and I was like, oh, there's Keith,
Speaker 1: so yeah, I still have your pull.
Speaker 2: I did, uh yeah that because I started doing kids shows.
Speaker 4: For Disney after a long run of other things, and
Speaker 4: she came on and was a teacher one day and
Speaker 4: we got to to reminisce a bit.
Speaker 2: We had Adria on the show too. It's been so
Speaker 2: much we did.

Speaker 3: an awesome opportunity to have so many.
Speaker 2: People that like.

Speaker 2: Who we were working with, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like people that were so.
Speaker 3: In this business and like like in so many incredible ways.
Speaker 2: And it was like, oh it was just Lenny, you know,
Speaker 2: Like and you find.
Speaker 3: Out like all this stuff he was writing and you know,
Speaker 3: Joan Rivers and you're like, oh my god, that's you know,
Speaker 3: like the comedy writing. And uh, it's been really fun
Speaker 3: to have everybody come back, because it's like getting to
Speaker 3: know the adults in your family once you've reached a
Speaker 3: certain age and you're like, yeah, really happened.
Speaker 4: Ye have your own and you understand maybe what some
Speaker 4: people have been going through that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh exactly, exactly. I love that you guys are
Speaker 2: doing this. I think it's great.
Speaker 3: It's been so much fun and the show is so
Speaker 3: ridiculous to go back and watch and so much fun,
Speaker 3: and we just you.
Speaker 2: Know, it's so popular, so popular. Yeah, it's really lucky.
Speaker 2: It's really held.
Speaker 4: Up because because they can watch it all again and
Speaker 4: the new generation can still watch it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of those lessons are timeless, you know,
Speaker 1: the parenting lessons, the feel good moments, the heart scenes,
Speaker 1: those are all timeless. Yeah, yeah, it really is held up.
Speaker 3: You were with us for one through eight, right, we're
Speaker 3: all seasons. Well, I try to remember.
Speaker 4: So I left at one point to go to Florida, Okay,
Speaker 4: and opened the Disney m M studios.
Speaker 2: I had an opportunity.
Speaker 4: I was, you know, they they you know, sourced me
Speaker 4: out and was like, hey, can you come and help?
Speaker 4: And I did the first one hundred and fifty Mackey
Speaker 4: Mouse Clubs before Brittainy and them.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah I did. I did the Making Mouse Club.
Speaker 3: But when Britney and Christina and all them were on it, oh.
Speaker 2: Very for towards the end of the of Full House,
Speaker 2: we did. We did. It was a group called The Party.
Speaker 2: It was okay, they had like a music group.
Speaker 4: And it was before, like I said, before, right before
Speaker 4: Brittany and stuff.
Speaker 2: And uh so I left.
Speaker 4: I did do that and we opened up the Disney
Speaker 4: m M studios at the time, and then I got
Speaker 4: a call.
Speaker 2: From Phyllis and down right it was like, hey, how's
Speaker 2: it going there?
Speaker 4: Uh would you you know because apparently you guys all
Speaker 4: kind of had a little bit of a protest. Uh.
Speaker 2: And I come back and so yeah, we've.
Speaker 1: We wanted our Keith, you know us, you know, like
Speaker 1: we needed you to steer the ship.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I mean, it was it was like when
Speaker 3: Chrystals on our ship, Like do you just there was
Speaker 3: wasn't there a season that or something that christ wasn't
Speaker 3: or they weren't going to be there or something, and
Speaker 3: we were like, no, we need Chris and Adam back.
Speaker 2: Like we were like, you're a D. Teams like, Chris
Speaker 2: is great. I know him, and he's a fabulous guy,
Speaker 2: and you've got Lucky.
Speaker 3: Super fabulous him and him and Adam are first and
Speaker 3: seconds on.
Speaker 2: Folder were great.
Speaker 3: But but I get it, like why we had a
Speaker 3: little protest because once you find someone that is good
Speaker 3: at steering the ship, particularly with that group of people,
Speaker 3: you know, it's like you kind of can't. It's it's
Speaker 3: throwing anybody else in kind of in the middle of
Speaker 3: it is it's like, well, who are you're new.
Speaker 1: The show? To get ad a D on a show
Speaker 1: that could absolutely just tank the show, Yeah.
Speaker 2: So it was a real blessing to be able to
Speaker 2: come back and finish it out.
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite season of the ones you
Speaker 1: were on? The earlier ones the later ones?
Speaker 4: I remember early on. The things I remember are things like,
Speaker 4: we need a crying baby and we need a not
Speaker 4: crying baby. You know, Mary Kate would cry if we
Speaker 4: brought it on the set, so we needed that. And
Speaker 4: then we'd switch out to Ashley and then they reversed roles.
Speaker 4: Then the other would cry, and so we had to
Speaker 4: switch that out, and you know, we were fortunate.
Speaker 2: Enough to be able to juggle that a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they did pretty well with one being
Speaker 3: you know, Mary Kay was not having it that first season.
Speaker 2: But yeah, whenever you needed a crying baby, it was great. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I remember, I remember things like that, and I
Speaker 2: remember horse getting loose.
Speaker 3: Yes, I remember the horse getting loose. We talked about
Speaker 3: this episode and I got yeah, I brought that up.
Speaker 3: I was like, remember when the horse got loose and
