Bob Saget interviewed by Newsweek

Nicki Gostin interviews Bob Saget and it’s available via msnbc.com:

What do you find funny?

For me it’s very funny to look the way I look which is very clean-cut and come out with the most immature, stupidest stuff. I used to be 9 and now I’m 15. I laugh at anything that has to do with toilets, sex. I’ll just do one dick joke after the other. I do a lot of testicle jokes too. No. I do a lot of what’s going on in the world. As crazy as this sounds I like to entertain people. When I do standup now they’re so happy and the applause is bigger at the end than at the beginning. It took me years to get that.

Later on in the interview, when he’s asked about how he sees his career, Saget rather disingenuously says, “I feel like this is chapter 2. My standup is a whole new thing.” Although he wasn’t a household name prior to his America’s Funniest Videos and Full House fame, he still had a reputation as a professional (and darkly funny) standup comic.
