“Full House” alum Jodie Sweetin revealed her late TV dad, Bob Saget, saved her from a drive-by shooting after a Janet Jackson concert when she was younger.
Sweetin and Saget were sitting in their car after the show when a person “shot the window out of the car,” she recalled at ‘90s Con on Sunday at the Connecticut Convention Center, per People.
She explained that after the incident, she and Saget “ran off” and “then had to wait for two station wagon taxis because this is pre-Uber.”
“And then Bob had to drive me home and explain to my mom what happened. So between that and the Laugh Factory, Bob was not always my mom’s favorite,” Sweetin quipped.
“It was a drive-by. It was back in the late ‘80s, early ‘90s. I leaned over to tie my shoes and it’s just like ‘pop pop pop’ and the whole thing shattered.”
Sweetin, 44, admitted that she still questions,“Did that actually happen?”
“I was there and I doubt that it happened, but it actually did, so.”
The ‘90s Con panel saw Sweetin reunite with fellow “Full House” alums Candace Cameron Bure, Lori Loughlin, John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Scott Weinger and Andrea Barber.
Saget, who played Danny Tanner on the ABC sitcom, passed away in January 2022. He was 65.
Authorities ultimately determined that the comedian died from blunt head trauma that caused a brain bleed after he accidentally hit the back of his head and went to sleep.
Sweetin played his daughter Stephanie Tanner while Bure and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen portrayed his other daughters, D.J. and Michelle Tanner, respectively.
Back in August, Sweetin revealed the “Full House” group has gone pretty quiet without Saget.
“He was always one of the first to say happy birthday or the first to start planning something,” Sweetin, 44, said in an interview with SheKnows at the time.
“Every time we get together, there’s always a moment when we’re like, ‘Bob should be here,’” Sweetin said.
“It does break your heart when you get everybody together and there’s one person missing.”
The cast has continued to reunite over the years since the beloved sitcom ended in 1995.
In August, Sweetin, Stamos, Loughlin, Coulier and Andrea Barber — who played Kimmy Gibbler — reunited at The Nostalgia Con in Orlando, Florida.
