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.

"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).

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

He was actually quite good in Drowsy Chaperone.
