Since Bob Saget’s sudden demise in 2022, The Full Home solid has stored his reminiscence alive by throwback occasion pictures and infinite tales about him and his penchant for hugging, however he additionally impressed Cameron Candace Bure in a probably sudden manner. Bure was just lately unveiled as Cherry Blossom on The Masked Singer’s thirteenth season (airing on the 2025 TV schedule and streaming with a Hulu subscription), and she or he opened up about how Saget impacted her choice to do the present.
Candace Cameron Bure performed DJ, the oldest daughter of Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) on Full Home and afterward the spinoff, Fuller Home. Whereas Saget’s raunchy standup would seemingly battle with Bure’s extra conservative sensibilities, the 2 have been undeniably shut, and she or he stated on the Whine Down with Jana Kramer podcast that she wished to honor her former co-star. Bure instructed host Jana Kramer:
I’m so afraid of singing in entrance of individuals, so I’ve stated no. That is the fourth time they’ve requested me. And I lastly was like, ‘ what? I’m simply gonna do it. I’ll recover from the concern.’ After which, after I actually began enthusiastic about it, Bob was such a particular a part of the present, and he was within the first episode that I ever watched, not realizing it was him.
Bob Saget was revealed to be the Squiggly Monster on The Masked Singer in Season 4, which apparently one other Full Home alum, John Stamos, had been conscious of as a result of the Uncle Jesse portrayer would have appeared as a clue if Saget had made it additional.
Candace Cameron Bure, in the meantime, wasn’t knowledgeable beforehand that her former TV dad could be one of many costumed contestants, nevertheless it didn’t take her lengthy to determine it out. She continued:
However I am sitting on my sofa and I am like, ‘What is that this loopy present?’ Persons are strolling out in these costumes. It was so nuts to me. And I am going, ‘I’m simply gonna watch one episode.’ And, as quickly because the Squiggly Eyed Monster walked out, I heard one observe, and I used to be like, ‘That’s Bob! That’s Bob!’ I used to be, like, leaping on my sofa like Tom Cruise with Katie Holmes. I used to be like, ‘That is Bob! That is wonderful!’ And I kinda simply — I liked it from then on out as a result of he was the introduction for me to the present.
What a enjoyable reminiscence, and I can see how channeling his power might be motivation to lastly settle for The Masked Singer’s invitation, regardless of being so scared to do it.
Jana Kramer — who, like Candace Cameron Bure, has performed each The Masked Singer and Dancing with the Stars — stated the masks offered a defend between her and the viewers that made her extra comfy singing. That was a key difference-maker for Bure in comparison with ABC’s celeb dance competitors.
The Nice American Household star agreed, to a degree, saying she had such a satisfying expertise on DWTS, whereas her early elimination on the Fox collection didn’t permit her to completely overcome that concern of singing in entrance of individuals.
I’d prefer to suppose that both manner, Bob Saget could be happy with her for dealing with that concern. If you wish to revisit a few of Full Home’s greatest episodes (or the worst episode, in keeping with Full Home co-stars Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber), the complete collection is obtainable to stream with a Max subscription.
