Well I certainly wasn't expecting this!
"Producer Kevin McCollum announced today that comedy and television icon Bob Saget will step into the role of 'Pastor Greg' in the Tony® Award-nominated comedy Hand to Godbeginning November 3, 2015 through the production's previously announced closing on January 3, 2016.'

He will be really good in that role I think

Kudisch is excellent in the role, and I think Saget will be a good fit as well.

Is Marc leaving in order to do another show?

I had plans to see this again before it closed and now I don't know to see it with Marc again or wait for Bob Saget. Hmm...

Man now I want to see this again before closing!!! Urg. Maybe I need to move to New York because right now my list isn't feasible without a Harry Potter time turner.
I never thought I'd have any desire to see him on Broadway but I think he could be really funny in this role.

This is possibly the most random Broadway news of the year.

Haha, that's so random but great! Funny that he's playing a pastor, but he looks so Jewish. I actually think I might pay Hand to God another visit while he's in it.

I've been planning on revisiting Hand To God before it closes, and now I think I'll wait until Bob Saget joins the cast before making my return visit. Should be a fun role for him!

Still not as weird as when he was cast as Man in Chair for Drowsy.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

I think he'll be great in the role.
He'll no doubt be different than Kudisch, who is outstanding (and deserved a Tony nom at least).
....but the world goes 'round

Well Kudisch is Jewish. And I believe the Tanners on Full House were decidedly NOT Jewish.

He was actually quite good in Drowsy Chaperone.
