"I keep pushing the show to be as edgy as it can," says Stamos (with costar Wendie Malick). "But I don't wanna push it and ruin everything like Janet Jackson did." Photo by: Carin Baer / ABC

What's that been like?
It just feels like people are rooting for me right now. It just feels really nice and sweet, like people want me to do well.

You've said that doing romantic comedy is your thing.
Because I'm a romantic, funny guy. (Laughs) I don't know, it just feels right for me. … I love the character, I love the show, I really love the people involved. It just feels right. I really haven't felt this kind of chemistry with everybody and goodwill since doing Full House. So I have my fingers crossed.

So, Jake seems to have his moves. What about you? What's a good date with John Stamos?
I like to cook dinners. I brought a bunch of spices back (from a recent trip to Brazil) so that'll be my next meal on my next date. I just hope someone is ready for me to experiment on them – eating-wise.

Any pickup lines?
Honestly, I have no moves left. I either have forgotten 'em all or used 'em all up. And if you need a pickup line, then you're in trouble, you know what I mean?

Finally, we have to ask: If it came down to Uncle Jesse or Jake, who would get the girl?
I think Uncle Jesse's hair might scare the girl away, but Jake is so neurotic, he can probably ruin it, too.

And then John Stamos would swoop in and get her?
I don't! That's the misconception, and that's why I'm kind of fascinated with Jake because he doesn't always get the girl. I'm not gonna lie: I get to meet a lot of nice people. But I've gotten a few no's lately.

Good to know.
"Yeah, that'll teach ya, Stamos!"
