John Stamos recently revealed his initial reluctance to join "Full House," the show that would ultimately catapult him to stardom. In an appearance on "Hot Ones," the actor confessed to wanting out of the project after an early table read, believing the show's focus differed drastically from its initial pitch. He had envisioned a "Bosom Buddies" style sitcom with children playing a minor role. However, he quickly realized the kids, particularly Jodie Sweetin, were stealing the show.

Stamos recounted the table read where Sweetin's comedic timing had the audience in stitches, leaving him questioning his place in the series. He described feeling overshadowed by the young actress's performance, prompting him to call his agents in a desperate attempt to exit the project.

Despite his initial misgivings, Stamos eventually embraced the show, acknowledging the unique charm and central theme of love that resonated with audiences. He came to appreciate the unconventional family dynamic portrayed in "Full House," recognizing its impact on television. He humorously admitted to "hating" the show initially but ultimately growing to love it. He worked alongside the late Bob Saget, forming a strong bond both on and off screen.

Stamos also shared an anecdote about briefly firing Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the twins who played Michelle Tanner, when they were infants. He explained the difficulty of filming with crying babies and his request to have them replaced. However, the replacements proved unsatisfactory, leading to the Olsen twins' swift return. Stamos jokingly acknowledged that the twins are now aware of this brief dismissal.
