Bob Saget is a stand-up comedian whose unique comic
riffs reflect his unbridled energy, which in turn has fueled his career as it
expanded into acting, writing and directing. Bob Saget makes his feature
film directorial debut with Dirty Work.
Bob Saget began his career writing and performing stand-up comedy more
than two decades ago. He has toured with many top musical acts, opening for them
in such venues as Carnegie Hall and the main showrooms in Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe
and Atlantic City.
Moving to New York in 1987, Bob Saget began a six-month stint as co-host
of CBS's The Morning Program with Mariette Hartley and Rolland Smith, where he
produced and directed his own videos daily. That same year, he appeared in his
first feature film, Michael Apted's Critical Condition, which starred Richard
Pryor. Numerous television appearances followed, on such shows as The Tonight
Show, The Late Show With David Letterman, The Larry Sanders Show and as host of
Saturday Night Live.
In 1989, Bob Saget set a precedent as the first person to simultaneously
star in two prime-time series: as the widowed father of three daughters in the
eight-season run of the sitcom Full House and as the host and co-writer of
America's Funniest Home Videos. Both shows often concurrently place in the top
ten rated series, and are now popular in daily syndication worldwide.
Despite his extraordinary success as a performer, Bob Saget had always
wanted to be a director. While a student at Temple University's film school in
1978, he won a Student Academy Award for writing, directing and editing a
documentary short, Through Adam's Eyes, a true story based on the life of a
young boy who underwent facial surgery. Later that year, the short was exhibited
at FILMEX, the Los Angeles Film Festival.
In 1990, Bob Saget returned to directing with a one-hour HBO special In
The Dream State, which he also wrote and starred in. He received an ACE Award
nomination for his direction of that project. In 1995, during the hiatus from
his television series, Bob Saget executive produced and starred in the
made-for-TV movie Father and Scout. He then returned his attentions to
directing, helming a Lifetime telefilm Jitters, which starred Joely Fisher.
Prior to beginning production on Dirty Work, Bob Saget directed and
executive produced an intensely personal made-for-television movie For Hope,
which was loosely based on the life and painful struggle of his sister, who died
in 1994 from the autoimmune disease scleroderma. For Hope, which starred Dana
Delany, Polly Bergen, Harold Gould and Tracy Nelson, aired in November of 1997,
receiving high ratings and critical acclaim.
