Robert Lane "Bob" Saget is a Jewish American actor and stand-up comedian best known for his role in the ABC sitcom Full House from 1987 to 1995 and as host of the TV home video show America's Funniest Home Videos from 1989 to 1997. Saget is also known for raunchy, unabashedly vulgar stand-up comedy routines. His brief appearance in Dave Chappelle's “Half Baked “ shocked many viewers who were unfamiliar with Saget's standup material. His phrase, "I used to suck dick for coke", is one of the most memorable lines of the movie. His performance of the traditional joke "The Aristocrats" is reputed to be one of the foulest and funniest retelling ever attempted. Saget has been acknowledged as one of the "The Greatest Comedians of All Time" as well as "The Worst Comedians of All Time" due to his vulgar comedic nature, which either attracts the fans or repulses them.
