Saget chat on USAToday

A reader, Patty Wall, writes that Bob Saget did a chat on USAToday (Click it for the transcript) today. Wall’s husband, a member of comedy team Mixed Nuts, submitted the following question, which Saget answered:

Domskyville, PA: You started in comedy in Philadelphia as a part of a two-man comedy team. While you went on to huge success, fame and fortune, whatever happened to your partner?

Bob Saget: I can only assume this is him typing this question. Or a close friend of his. Sam Domsky is a dear friend of mine and responsible for a lot of what I have done because he brought me in as a comedy pal when I was going to film school at Temple University. Sam and his friends went to Penn — I was too dumb to go there and Temple did have a great film program which turned out great for me as I won a student Academy Award for a film I made. Sam and I did comedy in the dorm’s coffee houses, Pagano’s Pizza and he is part of group called ‘Mixed Nuts.’ They are truly hilarious and all could have gone into show business but chose to have normal lives and raise families. They all came to see my play in New York a few months back. It meant a lot to me, though that night I felt I was off my game because 50 people I knew were in the audience. A true professional, huh? Sam is now a dentist outside of Philly, kind of like Laurence Olivier was in ‘Marathon Man.’

The Mixed Nuts do indeed have somewhat normal lives. However, the team still occasionally performs, doing corporate gigs. Wall, readers may recall, cajoled The Male Half of the Staff into trying his first open mike, back in 1981!
