Daily Inspiration Quote by Bob Saget

"I don't roll like that but I've never been with a hooker either. Yeah, that's good to say in an interview cause I feel bad a little because people grew up watching me and that's a little disturbing"

About this Quote

Saget’s genius was always the whiplash: America’s cardigan dad with a gutter-mouth stand-up set hiding underneath. This quote runs on that same friction. He starts with a defensive shrug - “I don’t roll like that” - the kind of half-denial you offer when you know the room is already imagining the opposite. Then he undercuts himself with the blunt, unnecessary specificity of “I’ve never been with a hooker either,” a line that works because it’s too much. It’s confession-shaped without actually confessing, a comic tactic that lets him control the narrative by making it dirtier than anyone else can.

The real tell is the pivot into conscience. “Good to say in an interview” is him showing the seams: he’s not just answering, he’s managing an image in real time, aware of how celebrity gets edited into morality plays. When he admits feeling “bad a little,” the joke turns into a small ethical flare. Saget isn’t worried about being naughty; he’s worried about being someone’s childhood.

That last phrase - “people grew up watching me… disturbing” - is the subtexted punchline. He’s naming the cultural mismatch between his clean TV persona and his adult comedy, and the creepier fact of parasocial familiarity: audiences don’t just watch you, they carry you with them. Saget’s intent is damage control, sure, but also a wink at the absurdity of being held responsible for the innocence your brand once rented out.
