the return of the Coreys in the sequel to The Lost Boys got me thinking. about a great new idea i’m developing. a "where are they now" segment. Today we are going to experiment and see…you let me know if you like or don’t like. or if there’s anyone you want me to dig for some information on…
The Cast of Full House
what were you doing between 1987 and 1995?? chances are good, if you had any access to a television, then you have likely watched at least one episode of Full House…and when someone says "cut. it. out." you know exactly what they are talking about.
Bob Saget, who played the squeaky-clean (literally) patriarch, Danny Tanner…certainly kept a squeaky clean image off the set as well. He was the host of America’s Funniest Home Videos for seven years. But once the shows were over, the real Bob was able to surface. Known as one of the dirtiest of stand-up comedians, Saget has been seen all over the place – in Half-Baked, The Jeff Foxworthy Show, SNL, Entourage, and had a part in the documentary The Aristocrats. He currently plays the narrator on How I Met Your Mother, and still does stand-up.
Dave Coulier played the fun-loving Joey on the show, and struggled the most after the show ended. According to Wikipedia: After a brief stint in reality TV with The Surreal Life and Skating with Celebrities, Coulier continued to make regular television appearances as the host of shows like Animal Kidding and America’s Most Talented Kid. He continues to tour the US and Canada as a stand-up comedian, and recently Coulier launched a youth-oriented comedy website, cleanguys TV.
John Stamos, as the hair-loving elvis-loving Uncle Jesse, won the hearts of females across America. and it certainly is his most famous role. He was also well-known as having been married to the famous Rebecca Romijn. He landed a starring role on his own show, Jake in Progress, but it was canceled after only 2 episodes. John currently has fallen nicely into the role of Dr. Tony Gates on ER.
As the eldest Tanner daughter DJ, Candace Cameron dealt with many issues, like eating disorders and crazy boyfriends. Candace’s real life couldn’t be more different. Candace pretty much left the entertainment business to focus on her family. In 1996 she married NHL player, Valeri Bure (who she was introduced to by Dave Coulier). They now have three children together. She did make an appearance on Disney’s That So Raven recently.
the former "how rude" Stephanie Tanner is now pretty much only famous for her role as a recovering meth addict. Jodie Sweetin didn’t do much acting after Full House ended. She has recovered from her addiction and is currently pregnant with her first child. She and her husband Cody Herpin are very excited.
ah, the Olsens. Mary-Kate and Ashley, who both played the role of the youngest Tanner daughter, Michelle, can easily be classified as the most successful to come out of this show. They are possibly two of the most successful young actors ever. In 2003, it was estimated that the twins’ worth was somewhere around $150 million… each.they, of course, are not without controversy, with Mary-Kate’s eating disorder and possible affiliation with Heath Ledger’s death and both girls’ interesting fashion tastes, one of them always seems to be in the limelight.

Now that ‘cilla has emerged on Dancing with the Stars (thank goodness her body isn’t as botoxed as her face)I wonder where the other cast members of Dallas are? Who wasn’t glued to the tv Friday nights to watch this star studded ’80’s soap.
Patricia says
I love this idea!
adina says
oooh. i love where-are-they-nows!
btw, what’s up with the lip pout??? it drives me craaazy. i want to know who told these women that it looks sexy. i’ve noticed it mostly on the olsen twins, miley cyrus and rene zellweger. it seriously makes me want to punch them . . . and i’m not an angry person!
lan says
Love this idea Ali. I love seeing who when from really Hot to really Not!!
Therese says
Great idea! Love the pictures of everyone. Doesn’t Bob Saget host a game show now as well – 1 vs 100? Would like to know about the cast of Happy Days. Looking forward to the next installment…
Maria says
Love this idea! Wasn’t Dave Coulier also Alannis Morrisette’s boyfriend & topic of her song “Oughta Know” or is that just a rumour?
I would love to hear about some early 80’s icons like Leif Garret, Jimmy McNichol, and Ralph Macchio. OK – have totally just aged myself!!! I loved that show SISTERS too.
Giblet says
great idea!
LAVENDULA says

B2G says
I love it! Keep it up!
Jen says
Oh yeah…and what about Kurt Cameron?
Noah Roth says
What happened to Uncle Jesse’s hot wife? Had such a thing for her…
Jen says
What is with the ever-present pout on MK/Ashley?? Drives me INSANE!
Would love to know what happened to the cast of two of my fave shows from childhood 1) Three’s Company (poor John Ritter) and 2) M*A*S*H*. I’m sure there are plenty of others like the one hit wonder stars of the 80s…LOVE this new segment!
Holly says
*LOVE this. Have I been under a rock cause I don’t recall the Sweetin-Meth thing. Yikes!
*I don’t get the whole Olsen Twin thing. Not at all. What is so great about them?
*Wow, Candace Cameron is really pretty!
