John Stamos Talks Season 2 of Big Shot & Keeping Up With TikTok

Hi julie.

Oh, congratulations. Thank you. You are young holly Hollywood to me. You are. You're Hollywood. What's that about? I mean, you know, the youth is a good thing right now because you guys have a lot of energy and your positive and your optimistic hopefully. And that's how the girls are on our show too. I think you wouldn't know. I was gonna say Tiktok is a big thing for us. Your Tiktok in all the time on selling well, they're great at it, that, you know, it's and, and it's, it's important to, you know, a lot of people like how the hell are social media? I'm old school, you have to, you can't ignore, you know, this, what's going on And like I said before, they know their audience, they know how to reach their audience to know what their audience wants. And so that's something to learn from. I've been around the social media kids for a little while now, josh peck and David got produced the show for him and um, they come over and want to do stuff like, yeah, let's do it last night. Lori Laughlin, who lives near me, comes over, knock on my door and said, let's do a Tiktok and we put, you'll see. It's like a 15 2nd Tiktok which took us about six hours I think 6. 5 hours.

Okay. I'm not expecting 6. 5 hours. I thought you were gonna take an hour, maybe longer. The teenage dirtbag one.

Yeah, we just did it. Yeah. And you know, here we are like googling like? She says, google, We gotta find some old pictures of her and I have a million pictures, but she's a google john stamos and Lori Laughlin young young, You're like saving your own pictures from Google.

But I also didn't know that adults do the same thing as you know, us younger generation because we do the same thing will just be like, Hey, let's make a tiktok but glad to know that that's what I told you. I'm 23, but I do the same thing. Are you not an adult? I would say I'm an adult maybe. Okay, so you have season one now, you have season two under your belt. How good would you say you are at basketball now compared to the first season?

If it's possible? I got worse because I don't know, but luckily I don't have to play much every once in a while I'll have to make a basket or something, you know, practice and practice and I was on entourage years ago and I was supposed to play, it was, it was me, but I was supposed to be a great ping pong player was being johnny drama and I practiced for like a month. It took lessons and I just got worse and worse and finally they came to the center. So you're not gonna play, we're gonna c g I the ball, I don't know. That's what they should do on the show. No, it's important to be a good coach for me on this. I mean, if I don't seem realistic, believable. Show doesn't work. And so I try to, you know, just like I did, er like four doctors hanging around the needle like this, do this. So I have some, you know, people, they're saying let that hand through this, right?

And if you could coach any other thing in a show or real life, what would you actually want to coach?

That's a good question. I uh, I, I'm trying to coach my son to be a good person. That's one thing. There's um, the, I found myself just, I was always the youngest on the set and I was always looking up to, you know, I was, I would find my mentors usually men because my father passed away young. Uh, and so I don't know exactly what I want to coach, but I'm finding myself having to fill that position to the younger kids on the set these days. You know, wherever I go, you're all of a sudden, like I'm the old guy, like, you know, paying it forward, but so it's so it doesn't matter what I coach, it's just, it is a responsibility to be good and to project good values and good morals and being a good person, loving and kind and all that kind of stuff across the board.

And then one inside joke that you have between you and the girls from set,

Well they make fun of me because, and I've always done this since I was a kid. I always seem to have food in my pockets, like cracker pretzel over here. They, they group on me for that. Um, they, I think they like the new girl. Sarah was so sweet and we've got to know each other. And um, she said, she said, I said, she said, you're different than I thought you would be. I said, wow. She said, you're, you're, you're a lot goofy your dorky er than I thought you were gonna be cooler. Not saying, well, you guys, you made the good Tiktok together. That one got like 1. 2 million likes. Which one was that? It was Sarah like was the opening one door and she was, you know, here. Yeah. And meanwhile I'm telling you like, she'll whip them out, half of it's just lip sinking anyway, Which is ridiculous. But you know, she's good at and I'll be like, let's do it again. I'm trying to remember the lines doing. It's hard. It's hard. Well, it's not hard. It's lip sinking, but It's uh, it's, it's important. I don't, I don't, I don't shun it at all. I think it's cool. I should do more Tiktok. It's just, uh, it takes time to do.

Well, you're cool. So you got it. I love it. Well, thank you so much and congratulations on season two.

Thank you. See you later
