Craig Glazer Shares Dave Coulier Stories As The Comedy Legend Visits Kansas City Again



TKC NOTE: Our friend Craig Glazer shares some of his celebrity adventures upon a return visit to Kansas City for a television sitcom icon.

‘Full House’ Television Legend At Stanford’s This Weekend.

Mister Clean Cut, best known as ‘Uncle Joey’ on the decade long TV Series ‘Full House’ will take the stage at Stanford & Sons Friday and Saturday night. It’s hard for me to believe, but this will be Dave’s 17th appearance at Stanford’s in Kansas City over the last two decades.

While Dave Coulier is best known for his iconic role in ‘Full House’ with co-stars Bob Saget, John Stamos and The Olsen Twins; his credits are endless. Dave also starred in ‘The Surreal Life’ with Flava Flav; hosted ‘America’s Funniest People’; ‘Skated with the Stars’ and found time to do cartoon voices like Scooby Doo, Fred Flintstone and is currently the voice of the naughty Ronald Reagan on Adult Swim.

You will soon see Dave and Comedy Stars like Dave and Jim Gaffigan on their ‘Good Guys and Clean Cut Comedy Tour’ in theaters and across America. Coulier even co-starred in the most watched episode of ‘How I Met Your Mother’ last week. Yes, it’s true, in Dave’s younger days he dated Alanis Morissette who reputedly wrote her hit song ‘You Oughta Know’ about their break up.

And this morning while doing Kansas City media; everything from 98.9 The Rock’s ‘Johnny Dare Morning Show’ to Kansas City TV 41; we reminisced about our twenty year history together. There were some dramatic moments. The most memorable being my engagement party in Los Angeles back in 2002. My friends rented out a restaurant banquet room. Present was a long list of Hollywood agents to TV and Film Stars including Sandahl Bergman, ‘The X-Files’ Dean Haglund and comedians including Carlos Mencia, Pablo Francisco and of course, Dave himself. Yup, Dave saw me get down on my knees… and ask my soon to be bride, Connie, if she would marry me. That was a great night.

Dave was also with me during one of the saddest moments of my adult life. While we were having lunch at the Cheesecake Factory on the Plaza in ’03, I got a call from Stanford’s that my 90 year old grand-father, Bennie Studna, had collapsed in his car outside. Dave was kind enough to say, ‘Craig, go take care of your Grandpa, I’ll wait here for you.’ Grandpa Bennie, who was like a father to me, died in my arms. It haunts me to this day. Coulier waited several hours at the restaurant until I called him from the hospital with the sad news.

On a brighter note, as Dave and I passed Winstead’s this morning on the Plaza, Coulier pointed at the famous burger eatery and said ‘Craig, that’s where I filmed my first TV series called ‘Out of Control’.’ ‘One reason I love Kansas City,’ said Dave, ‘is all the great people and all the dramatic moments.’ I consider Dave one of my good friends.

If possible, you might want to consider sharing some memorable moments with a great talent and remarkable individual, Dave Coulier.

"Television legend" ?????
Not hardly.

EVERYONE said...

Wow, Tony.

I get it that it's an easy way to get text for the blog to have someone like Glazer constantly spew drivel to be posted.

But REALLY ... Dave Coulier? ... a "LEGEND" ?????

Has it come to this, finally ... Dave Coulier ... LEGEND?

As they say on ESPN ... Come on, Man!

Anonymous said...

So Glazer is now down to begging for customers on TKC? And Tony is reduced to running free ads for a comedy club?

And while Coulier has definitely had a nice career in show biz, I will second, third and fourth the above comments that calling him a "legend" is ridiculous on its face.

But he does share one thing with Glazer. Both are "legends" in Glazer's mind.

Nice story.

Winsteads is a shot franchise.

Jesus that shit sucks bad now.

Go to Kitty's Cafe. Holy shit is that good. The tenderloin with the hot sauce is good enough to serve to serve to heart attack patients in St. Lukes.

Yeah, its that good.

Coulier is either not very bright, not very busy, not very willing to pick up the restaurant check, or all of the above.

chuck said...

7:57 makes a good point.

If you are waiting "several hours' for something, it had beter be the birth of your children or a tryst with Cathy Jolly.

Well, chuck, this is people have been trying to tell you about your boy Glazer.

He lacks the discipline and restraint to tell even the simplest story without embellishing it to the point that it loses all credibility.

chuck said...

Glazer is just extemporaneous.

His embellishments are obvious, but unimportant.

You guys take him so fuckin seriously.

Its not like he is gonna borrow money from you or date your daughter.

He tells stories, he is a local celebrity/raconteur.

It amazes me how much rancor and vitriol he attracts.

It is weird.

His politics are middle of the road, his relgion is kinda Jewish maybe, he pretty much is a live and let live kinda guy.

He chases whores, did some drugs, and fancies himself an outlaw.

Big fuckin deal.

I would like to fancy myself something cool too.

It ain't happinin.

If you could get outta bed each day and believe the wind blew around ya cause you were to kool for skool, then life would be a better place for ya.

I know better. When I get outta bed, I see the world for what it really is.

That sucks.

I like to read Glazer's stories, a respite from the grind of reality.

Do we have to do this again ??

If you sit in the front row at a Coulier show you can still smell Bob Saget's balls on his breath.

Betcha TKC will be there taking advantage of the free food and booze Craig is giving him. Probably get a pick of T, Glaze and Coulier together. You're one of the swells now Tony. What's that like?

Anonymous said...

Well, that's really sweet, chuck. It's nice that you consider Glazer to be such a cool guy. Somebody has to. After all, he's begging for that kind of attention. Every blowhard needs his toadies.

But to much of the discerning world, Glazer is just one more common, everyday, upper-middle class twit of a boor that we've put up with our entire lives and try hard to avoid.

And I will give Tony props for this. Putting Glazer in a blog with a "free speech" combox certainly gives me the opportunity to vent my spleen about all such self-impressed, self-important, obnoxious, over-privileged blowhards I have encountered in my life, and there have been quite a few.

It is cathartic.

C'mon Chuck, after reading Glazer's screeds you gotta think that maybe Hitler was on to something.

Anonymous said...

Well, 8:42, if Glazer offered Tony free food and drink, at least he'd be assured of an audience of one for Coulier.

I'm guessing Coulier's Wednesday and Thursday shows pretty much bombed, which is why Glazer is here on Friday morning begging people to come for the final night of a "television legend."

But of course, Glazer will be here soon to claim he had a packed house every night.

I also doubt that the egomaniacal Glazer gives anything away for free, not even to Tony.

In fact, he would probably charge Tony double for the privilege of running Glazer's screeds here.

chuck said...

8:43

Well done sir.

:)

chuck said...

8:44

Come on....Jeeze...

Anonymous said...

"Glazer is just extemporaneous."

Exactly. He thinks the world is waiting for the next brilliant thought that pops into his head (and to him, they are all brilliant), and he lacks the discipline, restraint, talent, education and even respect for his audience to take the time to do it well and truthfully.

Anonymous said...

Seriously Chuck, this self important Narcissist thing is a Jew trait. There is a certain human dignity in humility and knowledge that the Glaze completely lacks. And while not trying to be stereotypical....Jesus was/is the only Jew I know that was truly humble. If it ain't the big nose, bad rug or bad breath you can always spot a Jew by their false bravado and sense of self importance. I'm talking about the American Jews now. The Israeli Jews, for the most part, nicest fucking people in the world. Gotta have balls to live in a country where each day you live with the threat of nuclear annihilation .

For those who are interested, "Out of Control" was a Nickelodeon sketch-comedy show that lasted for one season.

One segment had Coulier going to restaurants across the country that proclaimed to be, or had the reputation to be, the "World's Best" at something. If Coulier judged it to be true, he presented the place with a chattering teeth trophy.

I don't doubt that Winstead's was one of those places, but I do doubt that Coulier spent more than a couple of hours there.

To say that he filmed his first TV series there and it was a "dramatic momeht" is Glazer once again playing fast and loose with the truth.

Anonymous said...

Glazer is a liar and thats the truth Ruth.

Remember folks CON-MAN that is what he is and has been all his life. He will fuck your underage daughter laugh about it and write a fucked up story explaining how it was all her fault while still laughing and calling people haters and losers.

To you what folks a guy over at KCC showed the Glazer asses picture to his woman and asked her opinion and what he said is priceless. How about a few more people do the same but get the women to post here what they think. Guy thinks all women worship him well lets see if they do.

Oh by the way you know your career has tanked (Coulier) when you are down to playing a strip mall comedy store in Kansas City Ks ran by a known felon.

oh just for you who might not know here is what happened in court one day with Glazer.

U.S. District Judge William Keller said he found Craig Glazer to be "deeply enmeshed in drug traffic," rather than being the victim, as Glazer insisted. The sentencing followed Glazer's March 1 conviction on four counts of conspiracy to sell cocaine and using a telephone to facilitate a crime.

Before delivering the sentence, Keller asked prosecutor Fred Friedman what prison term he recommended. When Friedman argued for at least five years, Keller responded, "I think you are short of the mark," and gave Glazer the seven-year term.

Glazer had asked the judge for leniency, saying, "I am a good person, and I have good qualities to offer society. . . . I am not and never have been a narcotics dealer."

Glazer said he was trying to rid the world of drug dealers and had returned the money and stolen drugs to his friends. However, authorities who investigated Glazer insist that he engineered the thefts for his own profit.

Besides the prison term, Keller also sentenced Glazer to five years' probation and suspended an additional 12-year prison term.

So see Glazer has been pulling his bullshit for years least one judge didn't buy it and neither should anyone else.

Anyone figure out who is doing Craigs writing yet? I know that fucking illiterate moron isn't the one doing it.

Sixty per cent of people entering prison today are illiterate.

That no doubt be Craig.

Anonymous said...

Glazer you fucking liar!

In a 2008 interview with the Calgary Sun, Coulier said he thought he "might" be the ex-boyfriend portrayed in the song "You Oughta Know". Morissette has not confirmed the subject of her songs.

So it's a moot issue. Fuck always have to be the con man. Lies lies and more lies.

Anonymous said...

I was about to say the same 11:29.

Funny how you read all of Dave's stuff and no mentions of "The Glazer" in any of it. No heart touching story of how he sat for hours waiting on his great friend Craig Glazer.

Craig said,"I consider Dave one of my good friends."

Well one can see after a bit of reading Dave sure don't share those feelings at all for Craig.

Craigs tombstone will have to read "Here Lies Kansas City's Greatest All Time Liar"

11:00, that may be true, but I'll bet Cpl. Klinger is remembered far more widely than Joey Gladstone.

And for the record, "Full House" was a really strange show during a time when cable was fragmenting the network audience.

A guy's wife dies suddenly and leaves him with three daughters to raise. Yep, the basis for great comedy.

So this San Francisco fella invites his "best friend" to move in, as well as his ne'er-do-well brother-in-law to help him raise the kids.

Now here was Coulier's dilemma. He was hired on to be the foil, the butt of the jokes.

Only Stamos became a teen heart throb, and the Olsen twins got really, really cute, and Coulier's character got fewer and fewer lines and less and less camera time as the series wore on.

But of course, this makes him "iconic" and a "legend."

The funniest thing about Glazer is watching people roll their eyes when he walks away or just try to ignore him completely so they don't have to listen to his ego-ramble. Just another bully who would steal your wallet and then return it to you like he was doing you a favor-without the money of course.

David F. said...

This is something else. Glazer writes a nice story about a famous comic coming to Stanford and Sons, then all hell breaks loose. What if he writes something truly controversial? Websites are funny places.

Anonymous said...

Try this, David. Walk up to somebody, a co-worker, whoever, and tell them that Dave Coulier is in town.

Let's see how famous he is.

Oh yes the great Connie. Fuck me if she was that great you would still be married to her. The truth be known she fired your lame ass and couldn't get away from you fast enough. So like everything thing else you fucked that all up. Couldn't make it in Hollywood either came crawling back to KC all broke and stoled the business from Stan. Yup Glazer a real winner....NOT.

David F. said...

I tried it at my gym. Went up to two people and asked if they knew Dave Coulier was in town. One said no, but my kids watch the re-runs of Fullhouse. The other lady said she knew he was here this week. They had him on TV this morning. So it was a two for two. Really.

Bullshit.

By the way, knowing you could come back and lie, the question was rhetorical.

Now go look up "rhetorical."

Choke the chicken, spank the monkey, charm the snake-however you refer to it, none of the images in this book will encourage you to pleasure yourself. This deceptively simple and strangely addictive book presents a laugh-out-loud collection of random pictures virtually guaranteed to dampen the urge of even the strongest libido.


The first picture is of Craig Glazer

Anonymous said...

The only thing you can say about a Glazed book is that front and back cover should have been closer. If it had been truthful, it would have been.

Same should be true of his online ramblings.

Even though he thinks that his musings on black women where an ode, it comes off as rather offensive if you ask me.

Now a puff piece to pump his weekend headliner. (What's that guy's name again? He was on TV right? Tip of my tongue, I swear) I used to take this blog with a grain of salt but respected it, that respect is wearing thin with Glazed being a feature.

Each week we will bring you inside scoop on the comedy talent coming to Legends and Stanfords..Dave is a LEGEND in the TV entertainment world. Not only a talent but a truly nice person.

Just for your record and you can call today and see, Dave has sold out all shows, only one had ANY tix left to sell Friday, and a couple left for Thurs. Tonight ALL seats will be sold, all. We turned away over 100 people last night on second show. Sold out.

When you want to rag on a KC Icon like me, have something to say. Don't just make up hate words that are fake like your name. You look even dumber than you already are. Thanks. For those who came hope you liked it, Next week a true comedy top 25 of all time..JJ Walker, old school but fun. See ya there good people, haters, stay in the basement and hate.

Does Glazer know that coming here yesterday to beg people to buy tickets to shows that were allegedly selling out just doesn't compute?

Call me Nostradamus. At 8:49 a.m. yesterday I wrote:

If Jimmie "JJ" Walker is on Glazer's "true comedy top 25 of all time", what does the rest of his list look like?

No doubt it includes Coulier as well. And lots of guys who were on a sitcom a couple decades ago and are now reduced to playing the tiny strip mall "comedy club" circuit for $15 a head.


David F. said...

One is always crazed by the comments here on household name stars by the peanut group. Just amazing. I have been going to Stanfords since Westport. Their list of comedy, film and TV stars is like the Tonight Shows. Everyone that ever mattered.

Glazers club/theatre is one of maybe a couple nationally known establishments in this city, now or ever. How cool is that.

Anonymous said...

Really, David/Craig. Every city of any size has a comedy club like Glazer's and they are all "nationally known" to agents desperate to book D-list clients.

Go to The Kansas City Improv Comedy Club and Dinner Theatre in Zona Rosa where they offer a great menu and comedic line up. Todd Leinenbach is a good friend of mine and will treat you right. The Wayans brothers was just up there and that was some good shit.

Glazer several have had facts to say about you but being the snitch bitch pussy you are you try and act like you didn't see those posts. You for years did the same shit on KCC you don't fool anyone and don't try to because you are too stupid to do so. No Glazer claims he has friends who hang out in the libraries who see all us haters in there writing our posts, ramblings of a desperate loser. Last week he was ripping people who were going to the library to get his book to read so pathetic.

Sold out crowds are not sold out crowds when you give tons of tickets away and con your buddies who must be some real losers to come to your dump to drink your overpriced watered down drinks. Yes I said watered down drinks you are in fact famous for that and outside of being in jail only thing you are known for.

Here's a clue to whom I might be dump ass. I dated Connie before you ruined her. You really fucked her head up asshole. Too bad I had to move away with the job or you would never have had her. But I am back and for damn sure live fucking better than you do apartment boy. Between the Lotus and the drugs Glazer so broke most the time a 200 dollar dinner at Capital Grill sets him off on a rage roid. Shit I do dinners like that several times a week and think nothing of it. But what do you expect from a loser who serves his customers shitty chips and salsa as a way of saying thanks for coming. Then tries to get you to eat a funnel cake like any carnival sells but only the carnival does it better and cheaper.

Got you baby, that hit a nerve didn't it, Rice rated you out punk.
