Joey Gladstone

Joey" Gladstone (played by Dave Coulier) is an Army brat and Danny's best friend and eventually also becomes Jesse's best friend even though the two of them had never really liked each other in the past. He moves in to help Danny raise his daughters and looks at the girls as his own kids. Joey is the family goofball, always making jokes or playing pranks. He's also like a big kid and enjoys watching cartoons and playing with toys. He and Jesse first work together at an advertising agency until they quit the business for good and then later on become disc jockeys at a well-known local classic rock radio station. Joey, at one point, also lands a job as a TV host on a kid's show called "Ranger Joe" along with his woodchuck puppet, Mr. Woodchuck. He has also done some work as a professional stand-up comedian. He also once worked as a substitute teacher in one of Michelle's classes, suggesting that he has a teaching credential from college. Even though Joey is immature at times, he has a good heart and when the situation demands it, he can be mature and serious. He is always there for his family whenever they need him and he is like a second father to the girls. Joey has some form of musical abilities, being able to sing and play harmonica, in addition to impersonating singers. Joey has an Uncle Jasper (also played by Coulier) who cuts kids' hair. He made one appearance in "I'm Not D.J.", when he cut Nicky and Alex's hair.
