Vino and Lit

Mad About Paul

The transition from trusted, beloved TV sitcom dad to late-night standup comedian can be an odd one for fans to adjust to. Think of the jaw-dropping moment when Bob Saget shed any remaining warm-and-fuzzy Danny Tanner-ness with the utterance of his first raunchy peen joke. But not all former TV…

Bully for You
