John Stamos recounted his early worries about playing Uncle Jesse in “Full House” after his young co-star Jodie Sweetin stole the show during a table read to the point where he “hated” the show.“We did a table read of it, and I was the star. I was coming off of ‘General Hospital,’ and all the mothers were like (gestures fawning over him),” Stamos said during an episode of “Hot Ones.” We sit down, and we start reading.
And Jodie Sweetin, who plays Stephanie, reads her lines, and people are dying laughing, I mean screaming. I was like, ‘What’s happening here?’”“I hated that show at first.”Stamos said “Full House” was initially pitched to him as a different kind of sitcom, with less of an ensemble cast and more focus on his character, similar to contemporary shows like “Bosom Buddies,” the 80s sitcom starring Tom Hanks. However, during casting, Stamos started to realize the show was shaping up to be something much more than had been described to him. “As we’re casting it, I was like, ‘They’re spending a lot of time casting these kids that are going to be in the background,’” Stamos recalled while chuckling. His worries grew during the initial table read, as Sweetin’s character started to outshine his own.“I was slinking into my chair, you couldn’t even hear my lines, they were laughing so hard at her.”Stamos then recalls leaving the table and instantly calling his agent to say “Get me the f–k off this show!” “I fought it for a long time.” Stamos said regretfully, “And then I finally said, ‘What am I doing, it’s a beautiful show.’ We built it with sweetness and kindness.”Stamos has encountered similar problems with his “Full House” costars, and at one point attempted to replace the Olsen twins when they were only 11 months
