Grandfathered premieres on Monday, January 18, on TV2.

Did you know? John (pictured here with Grandfathered co-star Josh Peck) is OBSESSED with all things Disney! He has a lifetime pass to Disneyland and even shelled out for a giant sign that welcomed people to the park in the 90s.

John memorably appeared in an episode of Friends as a potential sperm donor for Monica (Courteney Cox) and Chandler (Matthew Perry).

John also shares a birthday with Matthew.

In the early days of Full House, John changed his character’s surname from Jesse Cochran to Jesse Katsopolis to better reflect his own Greek heritage.

During the pilot episode of Grandfathered, John came up with a special trick to stop the twins who play his granddaughter from crying. “I whispered to them if they stop crying, I’ll make them as famous and rich as the last twins I worked with. They stopped crying immediately! I feel like I’m a baby whisperer now.”
