One doesn’t must be completely obsessive about Full Home to be a fan of star Jodie Sweetin, nevertheless it actually helps, contemplating viewers watched the actress develop from tot to teen as Stephanie Tanner. Not everybody will bear in mind, nevertheless, that one other one in all her earliest TV appearances occurred on a business for the California-founded eatery Sizzler again in 1987, the identical yr she debuted as Bob Saget’s small-screen offspring. 36 years later, Sweetin partnered up as soon as extra with the restaurant for a brand new advert that remembers the unique promo whereas additionally showcasing her ever-present comedy chops.
Try the advert beneath, which kicks off with Sweetin at 4 or 5 years previous, wide-eyed and along with her mouth too stuffed to talk, which is many individuals’s go-to face whereas eating at a buffet.
Perhaps it’s bizarre to all of a sudden have the urge to observe Jodie Sweetin carry out stand-up on a stage made out of serving trays, however I suppose that’s what I’m feeling now. Slight likelihood it might be a uncommon type of vertigo, however I’m fairly positive it’s the primary one.
Talking of uncommon kind, Sweetin was in simply that in the case of poking enjoyable at herself and her enviable profession. For all that she’s identified for starring in one in all TGIF’s most beloved sitcoms, in addition to its Netflix follow-up Fuller Home, the actress isn’t truly that prolific in the case of easy comedy tasks. Today, followers could have a neater time discovering her in an upcoming Hallmark TV film (or maybe one on Lifetime) or an unscripted competitors collection corresponding to Past the Edge, Worst Cooks in America and Identify That Tune, all of which she appeared in throughout 2023.
And by all means, I hope she retains nailing down the comfortable TV flicks and embracing the aggressive spirit that drives her in different exhibits. However can we additionally get Jodie Sweetin heading up her personal comedy collection? Whether or not it’s a multcam broadcast community gig just like the one she realized about middle-child-hood in, or a single-cam comedy that strays fully from units and soundstages, I really feel just like the world is overdue no less than 5 totally different Sweetin-fronted comedies past the Tanner household hijinks. (And no, I don’t imply her popping up in a Kimmy Gibbler spinoff, both.)
There’s nothing wildly totally different about her standing round smiling warmly in an ill-timed method proper after boasting about her comedic timing, nevertheless it works! In a world the place reputation will get actors roles way more typically than real expertise, I can consider quite a lot of tasks that may be notably higher if Sweetin was a part of the solid. (Or the entire solid, however that’s in all probability only for this gender-swapped Nutty Professor remake I’m writing on the within of some field.)
I’m undecided who we have to begin petitioning, however I’ll ship some emails to Sizzler to see in the event that they’re sport to begin up a complete TV collection of commercials, after which as soon as that concept is shot down as being horrible, every other pitch I comply with up with will appear genius as compared. Within the meantime, Fuller Home is all the time there to observe with a Netflix subscription, whereas Full Home correct requires a Max subscription for bingeing functions.
