Dave Coulier: ‘Disappointed’ Olsen Twins Didn’t Join ‘Fuller House’ | TODAY

[@SeeSpotRun71]

he looks so young here but much older on fuller house :O

[@superlex611]

But his face is the same

[@chrismo98]

+Tiffy Bazilio that's what I thought! o.O

[@dsff85]

+Tiffy Basilio He also dressed a lot better here then on the show. Good style can make a difference.

[@superlex611]

DanielS he is also a good looking guy

[@veenessatiqui4126]

+DanielS on the show it is comedy and here it is a meeting

[@j.walker6845]

To be fair the twins didn’t have much choice to act in the original show, so...

[@leoaranzaa]

It’s not Mary Kate or Ashley’s fault, they were literally born into acting, and I’m sure they felt forced to act throughout their childhood, so in no way do I blame them for not acting

[@GIRLBOSS-vz3bi]

well it was their parents mistaker they wanted to earn money through thir kids

[@franchescaspeaks3374]

I think the Olsen twins were so little when they started and they don’t have the same nostalgic feeling like the others. The switching back and forth playing the same character must be tiring.

[@ariellim1808]

After full house.... the olsen twins... did continue their acting skills.... they stop...and went into fashion

[@ely8e]

They said they were mad that they had to work at such a young age

[@WailingGecko]

Plus they started acting since they were 6 months old.

[@alicegrant6314]

Seems like the cast of Fuller House just don't respect the Olsen twins' decision to not act anymore.

[@eIlavator]

Alice Grant I know i'm very late but I think he meant he was dissapointed he didn't get to experience this with them, not dissapointed in them. I was dissapointed too but I still understand their decision. Still wish they could come back for at least one episode tho

[@sherripidcock6432]

they said they are more than welcome too come back if they wanted too. they are respecting their decisions

[@hischild6274]

They’ve developed their own successful businesses. Acting is not even on their radar anymore

[@audrasitarek9113]

His Child but acting put them on the map. Respect your roots.

[@oliviacranex]

john said that he understood why they dont want to come back but idk about the others

[@Generalbas1972]

i still love that 4th wall break they did in the first episode about Michelle. That was so awesome, well the Whole season was awesome. So excited that they got a season two

[@jennabora27]

He was NEVER called Uncle Joey!!!!!!! Just Joey.

[@Daioblis]

+Jenna Bora Actually, he _was_ called uncle.

[@insaneone4369]

Yeah, Joey, Danny's secret butt boy.

[@luckystarz6472]

they did mentioned it a couple time

[@sylviarocha1974]

they did call him uncle joey only when the twins felt like it..and when jesse and rebecca would tell them too

[@senginsichienmay6610]

Joey is Danny bf, uncle Jessie, refer to the kids which was their mom brother...

[@JasonB95]

@3:49...Full House shade moment lol

[@haislaangie2899]

That’s messed up

[@raesmith2164]

Cut it out. Sorry. Couldnt resist

[@PositivelyBrainwashed]

I'm hoping the twins at least appear in the finale of the very last season, whenever that would be

[@shaebeckham9161]

Hopefully never

[@chelsm90]

it wont happen

[@dwcallum]

+chelsm90 it actually might happen

[@eh2139]

Callum-Lee McAuley no it won’t lol

[@teresaling8100]

I hope that Michelle comes home for Stephanies wedding

[@sultantipu9940]

Entire cast looks good and happy just like they always did .

[@superlex611]

They are so respected with each other

[@block.b]

Danny does not look that good

[@juanio7036]

They didn’t want to be around them because some of those people abused them as children .

[@LPcristhy]

how do you know that?

[@dillond4709]

As Dakota said.. me more aggressive.. cite your sources

[@DaniellaCartwright]

Joey is my favorite!! But he's not anyone's uncle...

[@syedzainulabidin6935]

Daniella Cartwright Uncle doesn't always have to mean your parents brothers. In my culture, you also call ur parents guy cousins and guy friends uncle too.

[@AlexeBriand2002]

Daniella Cartwright so you're gonna act like Nicky and Alex never existed

[@katemarie2113]

He’s my favorite too he’s really nice in person :)

[@diegojavier3632]

in the spanish version was always called Tio Joy (uncle Joey) was a good touch

[@ryanciani3324]

i know she doesnt watch the show you can tell

[@markclare5222]

Love Dave's comedic timing so priceless!! I'm missing Fuller House so much!!

[@armenfrundzhyan4572]

Me too love his cut it out a lot

[@AXHEJAZ]

I'm ready for season three, I watched the entire season two in 72 hours. Then I watched season one and two repeatedly 7+ times!!!

[@missnina9727]

Now come on ! The olsen sisters said years ago they stop being actresses, why people still upset about them not showing up to full house ? Please, ya'll know they don't want to belong to that industry anymore

[@nataliascalvenzi5553]

I heard someone saying this once and I think it's spot on: "The Olsen twins would be nothing without this show". Seriously, it wouldn't hurt them showing a little gratitude for the fans who had loved them for so many years. They're just thinking about themselves. What about Jodie Sweetin? Her teen/young adult years were so messed up! She stayed out of the spotlight for years, she had depression, she was on drugs, but now she's there, sober and beautiful like a diva, ready to star season 2 of Fuller House with her old collegues. And most importantly: in every interview she goes, she thanks her fans for the endless support. See the difference?

[@EvelineUK]

They did not even have to be on it full-time (pardon the pun) just a cameo would have been fun. I agree, a little gratitude would not have hurt. Andrea Barber had quit acting too but is doing great in the series.

[@nataliascalvenzi5553]

EvelineUK Exactly! And not to mention Blake and Dylan, the twin boys who played Nicky and Alex. They were almost as young as Mary Kate and Ashley when they started filming. They didn't have free will back then as well, they didn't know what they were doing, and yet they chose to be back for the spin-off. There are literally no arguments to justify how selfish the Olsen twins are.

[@margoegg]

they owe nothing to anyone and they never asked to be on the show they were babies and they quit acting and dont need the money like the rest.

[@sherripidcock6432]

thats true, i agree with you Natalia

[@jrwheeler81]

Is it just me or has Dave only gotten MUCH sexier as he's gotten older? I think he looks better now than he ever has.

[@magicfromtheground]

They don't owe anyone anything. Let them live their life. They deserve it.

[@davecoulier1403]

Hello Delaine thanks for your comments and support I really do appreciate❤️

[@blackmagic-kp6gd]

3:50 now they know they wrong for that cause the the twins really do run a fashion clothing line and Lori look the shadiest.

[@KoolKukumber]

And it’s a legitimate fashion empire, I think they are each worth $250 mill from their fashion line. They would be making more money doing that than being on some ratty Netflix show

[@ryanciani3324]

uncle joey? she clearly doesnt know full house at all

[@jasminelee5651]

i wached fuller house season 1 the whole season it was great

[@davecoulier1403]

Hello Jasmine thanks for your comments and support I really do appreciate❤️

[@insaneone4369]

UGH!!!!!

[@jayupnext_8664]

Wym

[@justinaschmitt6239]

Love full house and fuller house!!!❤️❤️

[@fasooly1992]

the olsen twins need to at least guest star an episode

[@paytonreider466]

I'm so mad and sad because the Olsen twins aren't going to be on fuller house

[@veenessatiqui4126]

Your glad they are not on there

[@eries77]

It would have been cool even to just see like a FaceTime or Skype chat type cameo. It could even be brief like a quick view of the tail end of the conversation like DJ or Stephanie saying “okay sis love you bye!” and then it pans to Michelle on phone or something smiling. Idk

[@winter3892]

That moment when you know Dave haha

[@SuperKrock5]

They had a different experience, they didn’t want to act and were forced to. They would refuse to do scenes and cover their ears and sing

[@84analy]

Look at the interview of the olsen twins on ellen in 2010 min 1:30 and it will tell you why they want nothing to do with full house and how ellen tried to ignore the whole thing by moving to another topic asap

[@davecoulier1403]

Hello Karen thanks for your comments and support I really do appreciate❤️

[@marig5569]

I'm not saying that the Olsen's have to be on every episode but it would be nice if one of them at least guess star in 1 or 2 episodes!

[@craigdavis5407]

Very Underrated!!!!

[@miquelquiles727]

If only they could have appeared at least in one episode that would have been dope but overall it was still pretty cool to have the show back

[@MichelleMinkmbe]

i have to point out that it was Uncle Jesse & Joey. Joey was never called Uncle Joey

[@leahbrady7778]

+Michelle Mink joey wasnt their uncle he was a family friend

[@MichelleMinkmbe]

my point exactly. the video says Uncle Joey and i was pointing out that Jesse was the Uncle and Joey was just called Joey

[@leahbrady7778]

oh yeah i get it

[@Daioblis]

+Michelle Mink He _was_ called uncle.

[@davecoulier1403]

Hi Michelle thanks for your comments and support I really do appreciate❤️

[@superstarrajinikanthfans108]

waiting for season 2

[@luvineverything101]

i get why Bob Dave and John were upset about not getting the full cast back but that's only because they watched these kids grow up. the Olsen twins were eight when the show ended, they just don't have the same emotions as the rest. also, they moved onto bigger and better things. MK and Ashley are the only ones who made an empire after the show. Jodie became a druggie for god sake. Everyone needed the reboot because they don't have anything else tbh

[@kasperwithanak3853]

True, appart from the OT all the other actors pretty much dissapeard.

[@Africangyal]

Gotta love Dave :)

[@vanessaarteaga6252]

I love them. I wish the show so much success!!!

[@davecoulier1403]

Hello Vanessa thanks for your comments and support I really do appreciate❤️

[@jonathanparker7706]

The twins wasn’t molested!!! Besides Most of the crap on the internet is wrong... I Wish people would stop thinking that and grow up.

[@ohannah0035]

This comment aged terribly😂😂😂

[@teaganthedashman]

Do they say wacky UNCLE? Uncle?! JOEY IS NOT THEIR UNCLE!

[@mikaelroldan6177]

The discription is wrong, Its just Joey

Who watched the first season in a day like me?

Happy Birthday to Dave.9-21-59.Saskatoon.Cut,it, out.

[@jennapatel5531]

Mary Kate and Ashley don't nned Fuller House. They have jobs, they don't need to reboot a show to get a job

[@lisabuegel]

That’s not why the rest of them do the show

I love this show full house and Fuller house I love it so much

[@davepane7306]

Who's Uncle Joey??

[@rainingstopmotions9145]

Bro- Nicky and Alex were on Fuller House for a few episodes and Mary-Kate and Ashley were not? People are saying the Olsens didn’t come to Fuller House was because they were so young! But Nicky and Alex were younger and they came to Fuller House-

[@Whitneypyant]

Nicky and Alex aren’t really big name actors so it was probably easier to get them. Mary Kate and Ashley been acting pretty all of their lives and retire in 2004.

[@charliest.kardasism9134]

YOU OUGHTA KNOW

[@l9685]

The Olsen twins are grown women now they are adults and free to make choices of their own

[@LTilli313]

I would like to see what the cast has to say about the Olsen Twins "off camera". Its obvious the OT think they are too good for that now. I'm not sure why -- no one care about "The Row".

[@nw0]

One "you got it dude" or "no way Jose" seems like a quick buck

[@rainbowzappa1440]

I think there is a reason why the Olsen twins did not go. Also, they moved on and are more focused on their business. The others may still be in full house mode because they never mived on. What jobs have they had since full house stopped. They have to move on. There isnt only full house. I dont think those women should drink on the job either. Not professional.

[@autisticbirsen]

he still looks the same

[@vivanhinton8377]

he looks good

[@josefsilvia5360]

To be honest, I don't blame them. Honestly, they tried and that was OK. The Olsen twins aren't actors anymore. Their sister is. And she wasn't forced into acting as much as her sisters were. So honestly, the show was fine without them and they're fine.

[@Thomassteven00]

why can't they get a new actress to play Michelle

[@iwant2eatwithoutgettingfat]

I'd rather not have Michelle tanner appear in the show if it's not either of the olsen twins tho

[@musicseriengirl]

I would accept Elizabeth Olsen (even more than one of the Olsen Twins) - but she is a little busy on the big screen ;-) and she said once - that this is their past and she could never replace them There were rumors from John Stamos that Jeff Franklin got in contact with her agent - but she said there were no talking about getting her on Fuller House - Jeff Franklin said the same thing

[@piccagabby1967]

ThomasProductions2000 maybe there sister

[@Livmylifelivi]

Probably just in case the olsens change their mind and want to be on the show

I hate that they are accusing Bob and him on SA the twins. People need the truth. :(

[@ltaya595]

We can stay hopeful that they will make an appearance at some point in the show or at least maybe Mary Kate will but I doubt it. They are just to busy with fashion these days.

[@michealbolton3988]

Hello Thanks for the support and comments, it's my out most pleasure having you here

[@Joshua-Samarita]

I was born in 2001, so I had to buy Full House so I can watch it. I can say that Fuller House is a nah for me. Unlike to the Full House, Fuller House didn’t really feel like their family.

[@brentamania89]

He really wasn't an uncle on the show

[@robertbarlow3201]

I don't understand why anyone would want the twins on Fuller House. They don't act and really never did. Maybe a Creep Show Episode would a be better choice.

[@coreykinsella6537]

Anyone else thinks dave looks like jeff Daniels ?

[@andrealee8561]

I honestly understand y they don't want to go back . They haven't acted in along time. I don't think it's a passion for them . They were children stars @ babies n they don't need the money

[@lovetalx]

I seriously don't think I could've sat there the whole time with all of the talking over and laughing at things I don't think he meant to be funny like when he was telling them what he's been doing all this time. Fishing, flying planes....those are hobbies.

[@Trelsstuff]

the olden twins was molested on set of full house. they have good reason to not return

[@nataliascalvenzi5553]

Oh, please. Based on what facts are you stating that pseudo information?

[@Trelsstuff]

based on facts from other cast members and out of their own mouths in so many words. it is very common for child Hollywood stars to be molested. look it up

[@nataliascalvenzi5553]

I'm a huge Full House fan. I've seen hundreds of interviews but I've never heard anyone of the cast say anything like that.

[@minarezania3623]

Natália Scalvenzi Yes, how in the world could they get molested. The cast were like a family, and why would they admit it, molesting is allegal

[@anusisaman3086]

Natália Scalvenzi yes they were molested by Bob Saget and Dave .

[@PatrickWagz]

And, where's Aunt Becky in the later seasons?? Oh, she's in *PRISON!* 🤪

[@stephababe2007]

I can't help but sense the sarcasm. Like they don't like the Olsen's because Michelle was the most popular character on the show. They should respect their decision not to act

[@ramata1962]

Because their druggies and have enough money. You would ruin these branding.

I wish the twins would just for one episode that’s all Mary Kate was in a film a few years ago they can just come do one line even just one of them Just one episode would just be amazing just to see them all together maybe surprise them and maybe and truly surprise the fans there are to meany spoilers around she should come back to meet her new niece or nephew that would be good but the twins are very clear they quit acting we should just give up
