In If You Would Have Told Me, out today, Stamos "takes readers on an intimate ride through his life so far — from the way he grew up, to landing his first role, to becoming the world’s most beloved Uncle and becoming a dad for the first time — and everything in-between," says Variety's Emily Longeretta. "The book includes laugh-out-loud stories as well as heartbreaking accounts of loss." In his memoir, Stamos recounts initially hating working with Bob Saget and the Olsen twins on Full House — and begging his agent to "get me the f*ck off this show!'” “I’m dying to pull the rip cord on this family-friendly hell, but I’ll fulfill my contractual obligation to shoot the pilot," he writes. "Keep it professional. The thing will crash and burn faster than my reputation, and I hope I can salvage some dignity with my next project. For now, stay cool. Control what you can control.” Stamos also recalls Ryan Murphy's attempts to work with him with a “Charlie’s Angels but with hookers" show and with FX’s Nip/Tuck. "The show sounds daring and edgy. Exactly what I need. I pass on Charlie’s Hookers, but I know Ryan is the real deal, and I should take this offer seriously,” writes Stamos. “I let Rebecca (Romijn, his then-wife) read the script. ‘It’s demeaning to women,’ she says dismissively. I think there’s more to the show, but we talk it out and I turn down Nip/Tuck. Little by little, I start to second-guess my instincts, short sell my abilities, take fewer risks, and get lost in my marriage." Stamos and Murphy would eventually work together on Glee and Scream Queens. Stamos also recalls being told he'll never work again when he decided to quit General Hospital and reveals a connection to Night Stalker Richard Ramirez.
