John Stamos Memoir, Set for Fall 2023, Inspired by Loss of Bob Saget

Parenthood and the death of his dear friend and former Full House co-star Bob Saget helped convince John Stamos it was time to write his memoir.

The publisher Henry Holt announced Wednesday that Stamos’ If You Would Have Told Me is scheduled for fall 2023.

“If You Would Have Told Me is the book I never planned to write, but after losing Bob, finally becoming a father, and wanting to honor all the colorful people who have made me who I am today, I figured if not now, when?” Stamos, 59, said in a statement released through Henry Holt.

“Honestly, while writing this book I’ve realized I have about a million stories to tell, and I think you may like at least 400 of them. It has been cathartic and healing and sometimes heartbreaking to dig in and reveal so much.”

Stamos’ long career ranges from his early appearances on General Hospital to his years on Full House as Uncle Jesse to touring with the Beach Boys. He became a father in 2018 after his wife Caitlin McHugh gave birth to their son Billy.

According to Holt, the Emmy-nominated actor will describe “the surreal highs and devastating lows of a misunderstood heartthrob who has always remained a dorky kid from Orange County, and of his midlife quest to find sobriety and a family of his own.”
