Damn...Wasn’t he like a nerdy, stick-in-@ss guy and then all of a sudden became this foul-mouthed comedian?
Sometimes it’s surprising when you find out some comedians were really foul-mouthed. Buddy Hackett was one that surprised me.
He was always that. He almost lost the Full House job because he didn't want to conform to that square dad character. He finally conformed because he realized this wasn't about him--there were dozens of other jobs at stake if the show fell apart.
He was always foul-mouthed. The kids on the show had to be protected from his language.
