John Stamos was not able to hide his feelings on his recent visit to the TODAY show when he received unexpectedly a letter from his old friend and co-star in ‘Full House’ Dave Coulier. The airing of the video recorded episode showed the kinship between the two actors still and even brought forth nostalgic and tender audience reactions.

The actor Stamos, right after the segment, got a letter which was specifically for him. He immediately acknowledged the author. A recording of the show displays Stamos reading the message of the card when his voice is already overcome with feelings. “Dear John, I love you and I hope that I get to see you soon,” was how the letter began. It continued with, “We need to laugh and be really immature together. Love you, love you, love you, real good. I’m so proud of him. He’s doing so great. He’s such an inspiration. I love you, buddy. I love you, Jayden. Let’s get together soon.”
The line “being really immature together” brings back to memory the fun, brotherly relationship among Coulier, Stamos, and Bob Saget, the latter of whom had a close friendship with them that went beyond their time on the famous sitcom. For the viewers, it was a charming reminder of that friendship’s timeless quality. Stamos, looking at the camera, shared his own message, saying, “He’s doing so great. He’s such an inspiration. I love you, buddy.”
The video clip quickly hooked the audience, and a lot of comments expressed how just the sight of Stamos becoming tearful over a friend’s letter had a strong emotional effect on them. One user wrote, “This makes me emotional love u guys,” which appeared to express the sentiments of many who have seen the trio grow over time. Another just remarked, “Male friendship is so important,” thus pointing to a wider cultural tendency to appreciate and even allow such public displays of inter-gender affection.
Among the sea of positive comments one common theme was people wanting more of their interactions. “We need a series with you two,” one fan suggested while another said, “Plz you guys should do a pod cast together.” The idea of a reunion project, be it a podcast or a show, seems to be a constant among their dedicated fans who obviously crave to see their chemistry again.
The event also brought back memories of Bob Saget, the other side of their friendship. One keen observation stated, “It makes me think of the story Bob Saget told about the Vegas trip, naked Dave in the limo, and a picture of John.” This reference to a very amusingly told and notorious story that Saget used to tell was a bitter-sweet reminder of the three characters comic genius, with the commenter adding, “And Danny will be there in spirit,” affirming the posthumous presence of their best friend in the bonds that are created.
On the contrary, not all feedback was positive. A few viewers voiced skepticism about the authenticity of the segment, and one bluntly stated, “That’s bull crap it’s staged.” However, this opinion was greatly outnumbered by the vast array of positive and emotionally charged reactions. The raw response of Stamos, who is normally a very professional artist, was to many viewers a definitive signal of being unpracticed.
The letter’s last sentence, “I love you, Jayden,” refers to Coulier’s son and adds yet another layer of closeness to the whole situation. It reveals how their companionship has unfolded not only from their individual life turns but also through their respective families. For Stamos, who regularly shares about his Hollywood family, this letter was undoubtedly more than just fan mail; it was a road sign from a brother.

This one little, honest moment between the two old star-men in an industry that is usually full of new faces and short-lived trends, shone like a beacon. It wasn’t about a new contract or a marketing trick—it was a long-time friendship that had survived professional and personal highs and lows. The public reaction is a confirmation of the fact that such an authentic bond never becomes outdated. It reminds people that stars go through the same human experiences of love, loyalty, and missing friends as regular people. The episode was a joyful, unplanned homage to a bond that television brought together but that life has slowly turned into something real and enduring. In a related story, Coulier recently opened up about a personal health journey. Meanwhile, Stamos has also been celebrating a professional milestone.
