Bob Saget Instagram – Atlantic City. LOVED my two shows @hardrockhcac with @therealmikeyoung – And ironically, it was located right here – where I used to go to as a kid. Steel Pier. It’s hard to believe that when I came here at nine years old, staying every summer at my grandparents, who lived not far inland from this very spot, this pier did not end where it does today. Nor did it look like this. It was amazing. Sure, arcade games, bumper cars, but mainly major showrooms with the biggest acts. It’s now 1000 feet long with some amusement rides but it was 2000 feet long when I used to go to it— And, like I said, it had the biggest names in show business performing. At nine years old I got to see the original Temptations and the original Four Tops on the same bill. My grandparents also took me to see Ricky Nelson there. I got to stand on the side of the pier and watch a helicopter take Ricky Nelson away to his next destination. At the very end of the pier they used to have a diving horse. Thank God they stopped that tradition. But it was also at the end of that pier there was a ballroom where I stood, at 10 years old, next to a drummer who had a small trio— and people were dancing— but the room was pretty empty. That drummer was the legendary Gene Krupa, one of the best drummers who has ever lived. I remember him staring at this kid – me – 10 years old, realizing I was seeing something amazing— watching him play. Memories of what that used to be, years after what was shown on “Boardwalk Empire,” but still remnants of those times existed back then in the 60’s. It was nice to stroll the boardwalk today and see people out, most wearing masks and still enjoying themselves. It felt so good to be here and get to do my first shows in a long time for people who I’m told can’t wait to get out and experience live comedy for the first time here in a long long time. Thanks Hard Rock and thanks Atlantic City. Such wonderful audiences. Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City
