Uncle Jesse Admits He Was Totally Stamos’d in Australia

Remember this? God it’s so good. One of my favorite instances of a controlled substance crash and burn by a celebrity. It’s got everything– slurred speech, nonsensical rambling, improper comments about the size of another man’s penis… sort of like some of the comments on this site.

I haven’t seen this video in two years– since June 2007 when Stamos visited Australian talk show Mornings with Kerri-Anne and everyone speculated that he was drunk, high, or both. Warner Bros quickly crawled all over itself to tell everyone that he was just jet-lagged and had a bad reaction to some sleeping pills. Anyone who’s ever ingested anything with a proof percentage printed on the label thought, “Yeah, right.”

Well, shocker of all shockers, he was drunk after all, and he finally owned up to it.

“I’ll be honest: When I went on that morning show, I was drunk. Yes, I was on sleeping pills and I was jet-lagged, but I was also just plastered. And I never said I wasn’t, but that whole Warner Bros. publicity machine got involved and said, ‘Just say he was jet-lagged. I said, ‘No, tell ’em the truth! I was fucking drunk in Australia. Big deal.'”

I don’t really care that someone famous went on a talk show drunk off his ass. Granted, if you show up drunk to work, you might have a problem. But to be fair, although it might have been 8AM in Australia, thanks to jet-lag John Stamos’ body clock was set to party time. (It’s always Stamos O’Clock somewhere.)

I just enjoy the fact that he finally came out to confirm how full of shit the studio is. And I really enjoy watching the aftermath on Youtube.
