Dirty Daddy

The Chronicles of a Family Man Turned Filthy Comedian

By: Bob Saget

Narrated by: Bob Saget

Length: 6 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

Millions of viewers know and love Bob Saget from his role as the sweetly neurotic father on the smash hit Full House, and as the charming wisecracking host of America's Funniest Home Videos. And then there are the legions of fans who can't get enough of his scatological, out-of-his-mind stand-up routines, comedy specials, and outrageously profane performances in such shows as HBO's Entourage and the hit documentary The Aristocrats.

In his bold and wildly entertaining publishing debut, he continues to embrace his dark side and gives listeners the audiobook they have long been waiting for - hilarious and often dirty. Bob believes there's a time and a place for filth. From his never-before-heard stories of what really went on behind the scenes of two of the most successful family shows of all times, with co-stars like John Stamos and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, to his tales of legendary friends and colleagues like Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor, Don Rickles, and other show business legends, Saget opens up about some of his personal experiences with life and death, his career, and his reputation for sick humor - all with his highly original blend of silliness, vulgarity, humor, and heart, and all framed by a man who loves being funny above all else.

Bob Saget's story told only as it could be.

Brilliantly written and performance was great. Had me laughing throughout, would probably read it again.

Poignant but a little too soft for me

Bob does a great job reading his book. Saying that, I swear 20% of the book was him sadly apologizing for every other thing he ever said. His sarcasm that he displayed on the stage was replaced with "No, I didn't say that" and " No, that's not true". I got to the point where I'm like. Just tell the story and let it be. Good stories but way too much apologetic pandering for my taste.

amazing book and narration

I can honestly say that Bob Saget is all around just an amazing conveyor of life and its grittiest and most honest truth of life from the eyes of a humbled and brilliant big hearted genius! Must read!!!

My Dirty Daddy.

I write this review as a bias reader. Like many, I first knew Saget as my sitcom father on Full House. I found out much later that the comedian was not what he portrayed on his show. Saget is raunchy, dispicable, and the loveliest thing I've come to be a fan of. In this audiobook, you listen as Saget explains how he has become the comedian, actor, father, and director he has become. You are given a foundation to understand Saget's sense of humor and why comedy is an outlet for grief to us.
Between the jokes, his book is riddled with meaningful thoughts and insightful philosophies.
Bob Saget does a beautiful reading with as much energy as you'd expect. Every death, every life, and every experience is talked about respectfully, even in spite of his callous joking between sentences.

I Loved Bob Saget

I downloaded this after his passing. This reiterated and confirmed everything I heard, knew, and felt about Bob Saget. You can hear the emotion in his voice change with every story he tells. Beautifully performed, story eloquently told, and quintessential Bob Saget. Thanks for the memories Bob.
