Tahj Mowry On Child Stardom And Guesting On Full House

I’m thrilled to be joined by fellow 90s sitcom star, Tahj Mowry. From leading the hit sitcom Smart Guy to voicing beloved characters in Kim Possible and Muppets, Tahj has done it all. Tahj opens up about the fun he had with his fellow Full House child stars and reveals the pivotal role his family played in shaping his career, including his sisters' own TV show, Sister, Sister. From childhood pageants in Texas to landing his own show, Tahj shares the highs and lows of growing up in the industry. Plus, get an insider's look at what it's really like to work with the Muppets.
Where do the steps in the Tanner household lead? What was it like in the classroom with the other Full House child actors? How did Tahj land Smart Guy? Tune in now!

    I am so happy to hear that Tahj, Tia, and Tamara's parents were the way they were and having a separation between their acting and home life and they weren't pressuring them into being these perfect child actors and let them be children. That allowed them to continue to build a passion for their craft while still maintaining their normal childhood.

    Hey, it's Teddy! 😃 I still remember the episode when he had to move to Amarillo, and Michelle was so sad. And then he comes back after Michelle made a new friend Denise, and she felt the need to choose between the two because of a "best friend" homework assignment, lol! Kindergarten drama was REAL! 🎭 Just imagine if the Olsen Twins agreed to do Fuller House, Taj and the other friends of Michelle would have made guest appearances. Derek made a guest appearance singing "Yankee Doodle Dandy" for something... 🤔

    I totally agree. Their parents made sure they had a normal life and they went to college, so they could have other careers. So many other child stars lives fall apart when they grow up.

    Teddy was always one of my favorite reoccurring characters as was a lot of Michelle's friends (I was their target demographic when I first watched it on nick@nite reruns in the earlier 2000s so I remember their episodes the most). I also liked Tahj's Disney work and seeing him grow up with his sisters. A great show business family that has their head on straight. What a great guest!

    Just came across this episode. What i loved about Full house is they weren’t perfect but they were a family that loved each other. My family was a little traumatic and i only felt safe and loved at my grandparents. While over there I felt like Joey in the episode where he said he had a television show he always thought of as his tv family. For me it was Growing pains and Full House, and that is why Joey was always my favorite. I wanted him to be my uncle. Thank you Dave for helping ease my pain for so many years and teaching me life lessons! -Angie from IL

My favorite episode with Teddy is when he and Denise are fighting over who should be Michel‘s best friend. I loved watching full house when I had vision. Now that I am totally blind, I am so glad that the show is audio described, so I don’t miss a thing. Great episode with Tahj.
