Bob Saget
Show & Seasons: Full House – 8
Last Episode Air Date: May 23, 1995
Passive Earning: Average of $2000 per year
Bob Saget’s role in Full House as Danny Tanner and has to be the one to earn the most residual income from the TV series. However, Saget’s noted in multiple interviews that the residual checks do not amount to anything to phone home about and notes due to the fact he was not an executive producer, he isn’t earning much. His checks varied between $2 to $2000 per year.
In recent years Saget did a spin-off of the Full House series called Fuller House, which features on Netflix. If you ask us, he is probably making more from this sitcom in residual income. However, after five seasons, the show was stopped as viewership started to go down, and in the spring of 2019, the last episode was aired.
