Robert Lane Saget, better known as Bob, was born on May 17, 1956, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His family is Jewish. His father, Benjamin, was a supermarket executive, and his mother, Rosalyn (aka "Dolly"), was a hospital administrator. Bob spent some time in California as a child before moving back to Philadelphia, where he attended Abington Senior High School. After graduating high school in 1975, he continued his education at Temple University, where he studied film. His student project "Through Adam's Eyes," a film about a boy who received reconstructive facial surgery, was honored with an award of merit in the Student Academy Awards. He graduated from college with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1978.

In 1989, Saget also began working as the host of the show "America's Funniest Home Videos" ("AFV"), a role he continued to hold until 1997. During the early 1990s, while both shows were airing, he worked simultaneously on "Full House" and "AFV." In 1996, Saget directed the ABC television movie "For Hope." It was inspired by the life story of his sister, Gay Saget, who had passed away three years earlier from scleroderma. Bob went on to direct his first feature film in 1998, "Dirty Work," starring Norm Macdonald andArtie Lange. It was released to widely negative reviews and did not perform well at the box office. However, since then, it has become a cult favorite, possibly due to Lange's later popularity on "TheHoward SternShow." From October 2001 to May 2002, Saget starred in the short-lived sitcom on The WB, "Raising Dad," alongsideKat Dennings,Brie Larson, andJerry Adler.

His first talk show appearance was on "TheMerv GriffinShow" in 1981. He then had a brief stint as a member of "The Morning Program" on CBS in early 1987, but it was his casting as Danny Tanner on the show "Full House" that really made him a household name.
