In Full House season 1 episode 16, titled "But Seriously, Folks," Danny is excited to finally book his favorite comedian, Joey Gladstone's role model, for his morning show, Wake Up San Francisco. However, things take a turn when the comedian, Jackie Robinson, unexpectedly cancels on Danny due to illness. Feeling the pressure to find a replacement, Joey volunteers to take Jackie's place as the comedian on the show.

While Joey prepares for his big debut, D.J. and Stephanie have their own concerns. They are worried that their father is spending too much time at work and missing out on important family moments. In an effort to get his attention, D.J. and Stephanie plan a surprise for Danny, creating a homemade version of his morning show in their living room. However, their plan backfires when Danny misses their performance due to his work commitment.

As Joey takes the stage, he begins to feel the pressure of making people laugh. He struggles to deliver his jokes and becomes increasingly nervous as the show progresses. Meanwhile, the girls feel disappointed that their father missed their surprise and decide to confront him about it. During their heartfelt conversation, Danny realizes he needs to balance his work and family life better.

Back at the studio, Joey's nerves turn into a full-blown case of stage fright, causing him to freeze up on camera. The rest of the Wake Up San Francisco crew tries to help him overcome his fear, but it's only when Danny arrives and offers his support that Joey is able to finish his set and bring the show to a successful conclusion.

In the end, Danny realizes that he needs to make a change and re-prioritize his life to make more time for his family. Joey also learns an important lesson about facing his fears and gaining confidence in himself. The episode ends with the family enjoying a game of charades together, with Danny fully present and engaged with his girls.

Overall, "But Seriously, Folks" is a heartwarming episode that touches on themes of family, balance, and personal growth. With its mix of humor and heartfelt moments, it's a standout installment in the Full House series.
