John Stamos on grieving Bob Saget and how an impromptu tribute became a Netflix special

John Stamos and Bob Saget became friends while trying to shed their clean-cut "Full House" characters. Now, Stamos and Saget's closest friends are honoring a beloved 'dirty daddy' in a new special.

When they worked together on the beloved family sitcom "Full House" from 1987 to 1995, they had different working styles -- a disparity that could cause tension at times. Saget could be, according to Stamos, "annoying" and "goof off."

"The truth is -- and, you know, I have to say it's so funny -- that we weren't the best friends (when we were) on that show," Stamos tells CNN. "I came in wanting to approach the sitcom with structure, whereas Bob and Dave (Coulier) just wanted to make everyone laugh all the time."
