TV Host, comedian Stephen Colbert speaks on stage prior to "Hamilton" GRAMMY performance for The 58th GRAMMY Awards at Richard Rodgers Theater on February 15, 2016 in New York City.Theo Wargo/Getty Images by [Christian Holub / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Christian Holub / Entertainment Weekly Mar 3, 2016 4:10 PM UTC In the mid-’90s, _Baywatch_ spun off into a second show weirdly based around solving dark – and even paranormal – crimes. _Baywatch Nights_ was a departure from the original show, an attempt to cash in on the success of _The X-Files._ The new _Full House_ reboot, _Fuller House,_ is nothing like that; as Stephen Colbert noted on Wednesday night talking to stars Bob Saget, John Stamos, and Dave Coulier, “it’s a fun, nostalgic reboot.” Even so, Colbert and the three actors took the time to imagine what a darker, grittier version of _Full House_ might conceivably look like. _Full House Nights_ features the three solving crimes as, in Coulier’s words, “adult roommate detectives who have seen a little bit too much.” Like _Baywatch Nights, Full House Nights_’ title sequence is grim and shadowy. The words of the original theme song are the same, but it’s [not sung by Carly Rae Jepsen](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/02/26/carly-rae-jepsen-fuller-house-theme) and the mood is completely different, a la the distinct versions of Tom Waits’ “Way Down in the Hole” that accompanied each season of _The Wire._ Fade in on a drug dealer Dmitri (Colbert) being held in a police detention room. Danny and Jesse play a good cop/bad cop routine on Dmitri in order to find out where the drugs are coming from. When that doesn’t work, they turn to their third cop: Uncle Joey’s cartoon impressions. “We know you’re using the girls as your drug mules,” Coulier said in his Bullwinkle voice. “One of them OD’d in the airport.” Eventually, “the _Full House_ daddies” get Dmitri to talk, and Danny concludes with a classic _Full House_ sermons about life lessons. “Everybody has pain,” Saget said. “And everybody wants to bury that pain under piles and piles of blow. But it’s no excuse to break the law. I think you’ve learned an important lesson here today, Dmitri.” Watch the full clip above. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/03/03/full-house-stephen-colbert-video) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4246438/full-house-nights-colbert/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4246438/full-house-nights-colbert/"},"headline":"Watch Stephen Colbert Turn Fuller House Into a Crime Drama","datePublished":"2016-03-03T16:10:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T15:35:58.983Z","description":"They're all \"adult roommate detectives who have seen a little bit too much\"","url":"https://time.com/4246438/full-house-nights-colbert/","keywords":["Television","fuller house"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltffb23a6dd548d2b4/69888016ab6d7746346a8b2c/stephen-colbert-full-house-crime-drama.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Christian Holub / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltffb23a6dd548d2b4/69888016ab6d7746346a8b2c/stephen-colbert-full-house-crime-drama.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The 58th GRAMMY Awards - \"Hamilton\" GRAMMY Performance","caption":"TV Host, comedian Stephen Colbert speaks on stage prior to \"Hamilton\" GRAMMY performance for The 58th GRAMMY Awards at Richard Rodgers Theater on February 15, 2016 in New York City.","creditText":"Theo Wargo/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4246438/full-house-nights-colbert/","name":"Watch Stephen Colbert Turn Fuller House Into a Crime Drama"}}]}] ```
