So, what happens when a G-rated guy goes “blue”? Bob Saget will host “Videos After Dark” (10 p.m., ABC, TV-14), beginning tonight. The longtime TV personality will comment upon and introduce clips a tad more grownup and edgier than the standard “America’s Favorite Home Videos” fare.
At a time when broadcasters can’t mine enough ‘80s and ‘90s nostalgia, Saget is a living touchstone for viewers in their 30s and 40s.
Netflix has already cast him in its reboot “Fuller House,” so it follows that ABC let him play in the “Dark.”
This hosting gig also conforms to Saget’s career decision to pursue more adult-related standup comedy while still appearing in relatively family-friendly fare.
