Overview
- Sweetin, speaking on The McBride Rewind podcast on April 21, said a recent payment for her work on Full House arrived for one cent.
- She said residuals fell as reruns moved from TV syndication to streaming, where deals use different pay formulas that leave actors with smaller, less predictable checks.
- Sweetin explained that payments were sometimes higher in her 20s but never steady enough to count on as income.
- The actress said she lives modestly, noting she drives a used 2023 Hyundai Sonata, rents her home, carries credit card debt, and sometimes looks for day work.
- Full House aired from 1987 to 1995 and Fuller House ran on Netflix from 2016 to 2020, and renewed focus on residuals echoes concerns raised during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA negotiations.
