The Untold Truth Of Bob Saget

Bob Saget couldn't turn off his inner comedian. When watching the 2005 Oscar-winning documentary "March of the Penguins," Saget's reaction was to crack jokes about what he was seeing with "offensive" voices, per The Seattle Times. He had the idea of going much further with this idea, and after National Geographic rejected his request for footage of penguins, he got some of his own on the cheap and enlisted many, many of his friends to provide voiceovers.

The result was a direct-to-DVD movie called "Farce Of The Penguins," and the cast is beyond an all-star team of comedy; it's more like an entire Hall of Fame. Samuel L. Jackson is the narrator, with his notoriously foul mouth being a perfect comedic counterpoint to the dignity of Morgan Freeman's narration in "March of the Penguins." And the film is so cheaply made that Roger Corman might have told them to spruce things up a little. Describing the process, Saget said, "It's like a porn film, where six minutes later it's the same two-shot. You never know who's talking. You just don't care at a certain point." 

The cast included former TV co-stars Brie Larson, John Stamos, Dave Coulier, and Jodi Sweetin. His stand-up friends showed up in bunches: Gilbert Gottfried, Norm Macdonald, Dane Cook, Lewis Black, and Jon Lovitz. Big names like Whoopi Goldberg, Tracy Morgan, and Damon Wayans also all contributed to the silliness. Of the cast, Saget said, "Someone asked me, 'Why are you using all your favors on this?'"
