WEBVTT - Some time with… John Stamos (Part 2) 0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:20.120 We are back with part two of our interview with 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.479 our uncle Jay John Stamos. We share more behind the 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:27.200 scenes moments and laughs of our favorite memories from Full House, 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:29.520 some of which are mentioned in John's new memoir. 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:31.800 If you would have told me, Let's. 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.760 Roll Part two, I said, you know, I talked about 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:36.920 in this chapter. I talked about that. I opened the 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.160 chapter up with the donkey member there was a donkey. 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.760 Oh what We've told many stories. I tell people about 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.199 pepper Mill and it's crush on you as often as 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.559 I can crush on Yes, I'm just saying, you have 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:52.640 a you have a way with women and donkeys. 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:54.640 I wrote it it towards end here. There's a time 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.680 when we are pure just by being born. We are children. 0:00:58.080 --> 0:00:59.920 Then we blow it by growing up and we are donk. 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:04.319 Eventually we learned that we have choices and find righteousness 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.560 and choosing to be compassionate and caring. We are human. 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.160 That's the thing about Full House that I finally got it. 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:17.080 It was the children, the animals, even us bumbling grown 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.280 men trying to navigate a world of innocence and chaos, 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.120 remind people of the best of themselves. That's what I 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.920 was thinking earlier, and it's the kind of hit that 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.520 comes along if you're lucky once like all the stars 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.840 lined up. Everything was serendipity and it just happened, and 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.600 it was here's the thing too, it was everybody's family. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.480 And during the first season some guy came up to 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.320 me and said, hey, man, you know, I really love 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.319 your show. And I was like, really why. It's because 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.399 I'm a single dad and I'm raising two kids. And 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:47.320 they look at your show and they go, oh, wait, 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.920 they're a family. Oh, we're a family too. And nobody 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.360 even batter than I have about three men in San 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.720 Francisco raising three girls. It was just right. That's how 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:55.920 it was. What it was. 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:57.760 That was just our family, you know. 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.320 And it's for a mom and a dad and they 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.520 are two point three children, it's their family. For a 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:04.680 widow or who turns up the sound a little louder 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.160 to stave off the silence of his loneliness, it's his family. 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:09.760 The last key kid coming home to an empty house, 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.760 it's her family, right, It's everybody's family. It turned out 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:19.040 to be the most quintessential family show of the twentieth century, 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.720 didn't it. 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:22.360 It did, it really really did. 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.400 And we heard this in Japan a lot too, when 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:29.880 we did press for Fuller in Japan, that the Japanese 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:34.320 related to it because it's a very multi generational show. Yeah, 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.240 and that's they you know, they live, they have the 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.200 grandma's living in and the uncles and the grandkid. You know, 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.040 everybody kind of lives together and helps out. It's a 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:42.600 village and that's what fullhip. 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:44.320 Do you remember them saying in Japan? 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.960 Though, they were like, it's also it's such a It's 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.399 like American families are so weird. You guys are doing 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.200 crazy things. And I was like, I've seen your game shows. 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:58.000 Okay, this is what I've learned about you guys here too, 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.680 I said. The little kids that were supposed to be noise, 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.160 no more important than the furniture, grew up to become 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.280 the kind of humans I hope to have one day. 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:09.639 Oh they're precious, delightful and bright. I step out of 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:13.000 their light to let them shine. Candice Jody and Andrea Barber, 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.560 who plays the hilarious Kimmy Gibler steal my heart. As 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.240 I watched them mug for the camera and casually clown 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.160 through their scenes. I realize that children have a wholesomeness 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:27.480 that transcends all mediums. They are gutsy and guileless. No fear. 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.680 I will privately practice countless takes to nail a single 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.760 scene where I'm acting casual. These little ones will barely 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:35.880 glance down at their script, and they capture the hearts 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.560 of a nation with a wink, nod and folded arms. 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.400 A stern rendering of a simple phrase can erupt a 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:45.840 studio audience. How rude you guys just did it? You know, 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.000 it was just so natural to you, and so you know, 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.600 you made it look so effortless, which it was for you, guys. 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.480 I think we were just kids being kids. 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:53.920 You know. 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.360 There was some learning of lines, but as far as acting, no, 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.680 those were genuine connections that we have with each other 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:02.080 as kids and also with you guys. 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.920 We were following your example, yeah, Bob, And was. 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.720 Going to say, you guys, as the adults, I've always said, 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:15.640 set such a huge and important example to us. Shocked 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:20.760 as you might be by that, but even with with 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.240 your humor, you know, and I mean I've always said 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.599 I learned to laugh through tragedy from you guys. I 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:30.160 learned to show up no matter what was going on 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.320 in life because of you, guys, I show I watched 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.159 you know, you be able to create a family and 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.360 create people that you loved just as much as your 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:42.680 own family. From you, guys, I learned professionalism. I learned 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:47.560 from and you know it's weird, Well, that's why I'm 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.919 such a That's why I'm so unprofessional now, as I 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.919 learned it from you. But I know, I, you know, 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:55.039 just so many things that and then when we came 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.480 back as the adults on Fuller, it was I I 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:03.800 it was so no evident how we got to then 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:08.840 take that same ethos and that same love and leadership 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.080 that you guys really gave us on the original show 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:16.040 of being You know, you didn't you included us, You 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.919 loved us. We weren't just you didn't walk off stage 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.120 and ignore us. You guys loved us and paid attention 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.000 to us, and we love It's gonna make me cry, 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.240 It's gonna make me cry. But like that, really you 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:34.320 have no idea what that meant to us at the time, 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:38.880 to like to be included, Because so often in this 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.160 business you see the young people and the kids that 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:43.880 are working and working and then they just kind of 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.920 get like they're just pushed to the side. 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.320 And they're you know, dealing with all this stuff on 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:48.600 their own. 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.800 And you guys never did that with us. And as 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.040 we got older, you brought us into the fold. As 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:55.680 we got older, you were like, let's all go to 0:05:55.720 --> 0:06:00.000 a concert, or let's go you just you guys create 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.600 aided this family. And then when we got the opportunity 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:04.919 to come back and do it with fuller house and 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:09.560 to be those same adults, we absolutely included those kids 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.200 and would invite them over to our houses and would 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.440 do things with them and take them out. And it 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.920 was because you showed us that is how that's how 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.440 you do it, that's how you create this family. And 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.880 we got to do it with the next generation of 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.920 kids in this sort of lineage, and like that was huge, 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.000 you know you that was because of you guys. 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.479 I also hope that we and I think we did 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:37.560 like early on too. You know, we brought in all 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.120 the kids, all the handicapped kids and kids there was 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.440 you know on Thursdays when we'd pre tape the. 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.119 Whole all the make a wish stuff. 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.880 Yeah, and you guys have all carried that on.

He didn't say which Thanksgiving, which for 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:01.720 a long time, but you know it was they didn't 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.559 do the critics that hey, the show. They didn't hurt me. 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:07.920 They weren't. I knew. I knew the show was corny 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:11.080 and cliche and you know, and fallus at times. But 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.480 it was also That's why I said, like those scenes 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:20.480 that that were not sophisticated, it yield it yields to sweetness, right, 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:21.960 and you know it. 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:24.960 When the show wasn't made for those critics it was 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.880 made for the families at home when that. 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.320 If you didn't get it themselves for you, The show 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.120 each year has become even more so, like a warm 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.360 comfort food of decency in a cold world of discord 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.480 and division. And as the world gets darker and you know, 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.160 more and kids like I don't know, you guys have 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:46.280 teenage daughters and sons, but like, I don't know, how 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.560 do they filter this? Because it's all bad news no 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.839 matter where, everywhere, it's all bad news, and it's got 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.959 to be depressing. It's got to be anxiety uh inducing? 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.280 What how do you what do you do for that? 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:57.520 What? 0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.160 How do you you keep your kids off? 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:04.120 I mean, I mean I think it's trying to like, yeah, 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:09.680 watch Full House more, No, I you know, it's I mean, 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:13.080 it's funny. I think actually like sometimes the lessons that 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.800 I now realize, like in full or Fuller House, that 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.680 have come back as far as like sitting and talking 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:20.400 to your kid and you know, I'm like, oh no, 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:21.800 I'm having a Full House moment. 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:24.800 Minus the violence. 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.400 But it is hard, and I think it's just but 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.720 it is it's about again about like showing up and 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.480 like no matter what, and that was something that Full 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.240 House was really big about, was like show the family 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.520 showed up for each other no matter what.

It was only like a couple hours, but 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:15.600 I said, Jeff, with these babies don't want to be here. 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.520 Let's do you have any other babies? And they had 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.200 some other kids that were redheaded and you know, not 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:24.120 the most attractive child children. And I wasn't attractive either, so. 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.520 I was gonna say from one ugly baby to exactly, 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:29.040 but they. 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:30.640 Didn't have it. I said, all right, get the Olsen's back, 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:32.560 and they were you know, Jeff didn't get rid of them, 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:34.720 but it was like, how could you fire the Olsen twins, 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:35.160 shut up. 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.800 I have a question, how and Andrey and I since 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.880 we've been watching the show, I've been wondering this, how 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:47.280 much of Jesse was your input and how much of 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.720 Jesse was Jeff's input? Like was it you know, because 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:52.720 I know like a lot there's a lot of Jeff 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:56.440 in Jesse as well, But like I just wonder, sometimes 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.720 were there moments where you wanted more or less of 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.720 something or were you really had an idea and like 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.120 it was sort of in opposition to Jeff, Or did 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.119 Jeff just sort of go whatever you want to do, 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:08.199 just go for it. 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.160 No, we were always sort of on the same page. 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.600 He was the Elvis fan, you know, more so than me. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:14.439 I mean, I got I like, I love Elvis, but 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.240 we were both we both were you know, the character. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:19.520 My character was named Adam, which is not a funny 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.879 name or a good name, and I and I and 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:25.439 I said let's change it to Jesse. Jesse was Elvis's 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:29.320 twin brother who died at birth. So he went along 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.480 with that. So and and the second season, my dad 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:36.520 was like, who's this cochrane character? Where's that name from? 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.720 I don't know, Dad, where's the Greek representation. So I 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:41.639 asked Jeff, I go, my dad's gonna give me up 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.920 for adoption. Could we make Jesse Greek so they can't. 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.040 They came up with Katzopolis, which is half Jewish half Grikats, 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.800 and then my dad was cool with that. The there 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.920 was a I turned down the movie Lebomba. Do you 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.520 remember that movie that Richie? Yeah, and I thought even 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:00.520 back then, I just thought it wasn't appropriate me, you know, 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.200 playing a Mexican character, and my dad was so mad 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.080 as like insorb of the Greek Anthony Quinn. You know, 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.240 Anthony Quinn is a Mexican playing a Greek. A Greek 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:13.160 could play a Mexican. Yea, our dad's We were cool 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:13.399 like that. 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.240 Your dad was your dad was a character. I remember 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:20.040 visiting you at Duke's.

I 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:23.880 lived in Cypress when we first started doing the show, 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:26.680 so yeah, we grew up in the same kind of neighborhood. 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:28.080 But I remember going and visiting there. 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:29.760 You know, you look at your parents and you get 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.399 older and you go like, eh, they're just human. My 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.440 dad was always uh a superhero to me. He was 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.679 always bigger than life. And I you know, I just 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.440 so grateful to have had him as a dad. And 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.560 my mom too.

You know, he 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.359 didn't love the show. He would come once in a while, whatever, 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.840 but he was proud of it. But he was what 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:53.720 are you doing on that show? 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.240 We certainly didn't come to those concrane episodes, that's for sure. 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.200 No, he didn't like to. But you but your parents 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.000 and my and my mom every single Friday Thursday, right, 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:03.960 they were up in the stands a whole night clapping 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.560 and oh yeah, and even like it was so crazy 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:09.280 during Fuller House because I'd look because your parents look 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.960
