Bob Saget & Ashley Olsen Had a 'Full House' Reunion

On Friday, November 6, during the stand-up comedian Bob Saget 's opening night perfomance on the Broadway play,  Hand to God , he had a mini reunion backstage with his former Full House costar fashion designer Ashley Olsen.

On the popular '90s sitcom, which is getting a reboot on Netflix next year as Fuller House, the 29-year-old and her twin sister, Mary-Kate Olsen, shared the role of Michelle Tanner.

On Saturday morning, Saget wrote on Instagram, "Loved having my dear friend Ashley Olsen at my welcoming opening of @HandToGodBway last night with the brilliant cast I get to act with: Steven Boyer, Geneva Carr, Sarah Stiles, and Michael Oberholtzer. Almost time for the matinee today. Can't wait."

An American sitcom created by Jeff Franklin for ABC, Full House, the show journals a widowed father, who enlisted his best friend and his brother-in-law to help raise his three daughters.
