Bob Saget returning to Broadway, as a pastor, in 'Hand to God'

Before reprising his role as a loving TV dad on Netflix's upcoming Fuller House, Bob Saget will play another sort of paternal figure on Broadway.

It was announced Tuesday that Saget - who made his Broadway debut in 2006, in the musical comedy The Drowsy Chaperone -- will step into the role on Pastor Greg in the critically acclaimed Broadway satire Hand To God. The actor/comedian will replace current cast member Marc Kudisch (who has an upcoming gig in Chicago) starting Nov. 3.

Why Bob Saget won't convince the Olsens to join 'Fuller House'

"I've been wanting so much to come back to Broadway, especially if the material was just too good to resist," Saget said in a statement. "After seeing Hand to God with my daughters, I knew immediately that I'd pounce at the opportunity to be a part of it if I could. Didn't see it coming but beyond delighted. So looking forward to getting onstage with this miraculous cast in this incredibly funny and poignant play."

Hand to God will wrap its run at the Booth Theatre Jan. 3, after which the Tony Award-nominated play will transfer to London's West End, where it's set to begin performances at the Vaudeville Theatre on Feb. 5.
