Not that he's insecure. "If you're really funny, you're really funny," says Saget. "I've been funny since I was 4. I definitely haven't displayed it in the way I want to yet." Still, when he brings up potential film work for the immediate future, he says, "I'll probably do more of a family thing," which sounds like the Gentle Bob thing we already know.

In fact, his only firm project is to produce (but not act in) a TV drama based on tragedies his family has suffered: One sister, Andrea, died in 1985 from a brain aneurysm at age 34, and another sister, Gay, died last year of scleroderma, an autoimmune disease, at age 47, leaving Bob as the only surviving child of the senior Sagets, who live near their son in Los Angeles.

While Full House lives on in syndication, the world awaits a reborn Saget. "I'm gonna do the work that's gonna show people," he vows. "Comics say, 'Why aren't you the real funny Bob with the edge?' And I say, 'Don't worry, I'll do it.' Very soon something is gonna happen. 'Cause I've got a gun."
