Danny Tanner, I mean Bob Saget during his days of Glory on Full House.

Danny Tanner Bob Saget, our favorite, most lovable, dorky Dad growing up, went from the guy everyone loved to the freaky guy who kept talking about balls. Although what happened during this transition is beyond the most of us, he does appear to still hold on to some of those Danny Tanner roots by holding a few special cast members close to his heart. And when I say a few, I mean the formerly adorable twins (Michelle aka Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen). Apparently, Saget denounced other comics for making fun of the twins during his roast on Comedy Central. According to sfgate.com,

“Saget insists some of the gags about the sisters, who shared the role of his daughter Michelle on the sitcom, were a little offensive and he was upset the former child stars were poked fun at.

At one point funnyman Jeff Ross quipped, ‘Mary-Kate and Ashley were supposed to be here tonight, but theyheard there was food,’ alluding to Mary-Kate Olsen’s much-publicized battle with an eating disorder.

In a press statement, Saget says, ‘Anybody who talks about my TV kids - that upsets me. I am very protective. I love them very, very much.’

The roast will air on August 17.”

I’m sure he does love them. Very, VERY much.

Be sure to watch his roast on Comedy Central for a guaranteed good time. Maybe Jessie and the Rippers and Uncle Joey will show up too.

Bob Saget lucked out with the Olsen Twins, especially after they turned 18...they're BOTH freaks (pun intended).
