John Stamos on friendship with Bob Saget: I’ll ‘never have’ this again
Full House’ star John Stamos tells Fox News Digital about his special friendship with Bob Saget.
John Stamos confessed he couldn’t handle the heat from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen while filming "Full House."
The actor revealed he got the Olsen twins briefly fired from the beloved '90s sitcom due to their intense crying as 11-month-old babies.
During the "Good Guys" podcast, hosted by Josh Peck and Ben Soffer, Peck asked Stamos, "Did you try to get the Olsen twins fired?"

"I did. I didn’t try," Stamos, 59, admitted.
"Okay, we’re doing the scene. Joey and I were changing the baby, right? And Danny’s gone and said, ‘Take care of the kids.’ ‘Yeah, we got it. We got it,'" Stamos began.
"So, we’re carrying the baby downstairs, and we take her in the kitchen, and we hose her down. And she was screaming. Both of them. They wanted to be anywhere else but there…and so did I."
Although the Olsen twins were only 11 months old, Stamos explained that the crew members kept swapping Mary-Kate and Ashley while filming this particular scene due to their constant crying.
