John Stamos talks about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen 

During the 57-year-old actor’s appearance, he was asked by a fan if he was surprised when Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen opted not to make a cameo in the Fuller House cast. The host Andy Cohen also asked him "Were you surprised that the Olsens never made an appearance on the show, or you knew when they said, 'We're not doing it,' that they weren't doing it?" Responding to this John Stamos said, “Yeah, that was pretty much it. I mean, you know, we were disappointed, but we understood. I remember Lori (Loughlin) saying to me, 'They won two or three CFDA (Fashion) Awards.' That's like winning two or three Oscars. If you won three Oscars, would you come back and do this? I was like, 'Eh, maybe not.'"
