Not that I watch anymore but this reaks of tried to recreate the Clooney magic with a handmedown.
Though John Stamos will skip out on joining the cast of ER as was originally anticipated, he will make guest appearances in two episodes of the long-running NBC drama.
Full House's Uncle Jesse abandons his rock-star roots for a respectable medical career. In a statement released by NBC this Monday, the network announced that John Stamos (of Full House fame) will drop by the ER set for a two-episode guest stint. He will appear in the role of a Gulf War veteran who is employed as a paramedic while working his way through medical school.
Earlier this year, E! Online columnist Kristin Veitch reported that Stamos would become a permanent character on ER once his ill-rated freshman sitcom Jake in Progress was canceled. The plan was axed, however, when Jake received a last-minute stay of execution from ABC, tying Stamos to another season as New York publicist Jake Phillips.
