Summary

Today, the Ali on the Run Show is going Gibbler! I am so excited to welcome Andrea Barber β€” best known as Full House's wacky next-door neighbor Kimmy Gibbler β€” to the show. On this episode, Andrea dishes about all things Full House β€” including her favorite Kimmy moment, and yes, what John Stamos is really like. She opens up about what it was like growing up in Hollywood, what happened on the Full House set when the cameras weren't rolling, and how she spent the 20 years between Full House's finale and the resurgence of the Tanner family on Netflix's spinoff Fuller House. (Spoiler: She got a college degree, a master's degree, interned at the United Nations, and had two kids. NBD.) She also shares why she hates red carpets, and gets super honest about her history with anxiety and depression, and the postpartum depression she experienced after giving birth to her daughter. Today, Andrea lives in Orange County, CA, with her two kids (ages 13 and 10), and she's a runner! She started running five years ago as a way to help manage her mental health, and she's been hooked ever since. (Raise your hand if you can relate!)

Hi everyone and welcome to the Allie on the Run Show.

0:07.0

I am your host Allie Feller and today you've made it to episode 45.

0:12.0

First, let's go back in time a little.

0:16.0

When I was growing up I was obsessed with full house.

0:19.0

I knew every line from every episode and I genuinely thought that I was Stephanie Tanner

0:25.0

mostly because you remember that episode when she performed that really sick dancer teen to Motown Philly.

0:31.0

Deep down of course I was a bit of a Michelle.

0:34.0

I was sassy.

0:35.0

I was the youngest child and I like to get my way.

0:47.0

That's right the one and only Kimmy Ghibler is here with us today.

0:52.0

Now most people equate Andrea with her crazy quirky, totally silly character from Full House and Fuller House,

0:59.0

the revival that is currently in its third season on Netflix.

1:03.0

But during our conversation I very quickly learned that Andrea is so not her on-screen alter ego.

1:09.0

For one Andrea is super smart, very warm and she's far from the stereotypical Hollywood actress.

1:17.0

And fun fact, after growing up on the Full House set Andrea went on to earn an English degree from Whittier College,

1:23.0

then got her master's degree in women's studies from the University of York in England.

1:29.0

She also served as the assistant to the director of Whittier College's Office of International Programs.

1:35.0

So not exactly your typical Hollywood actress and not exactly the future that Kimmy Ghibler might have had in mind.

1:42.0

On this episode Andrea talks a whole lot about Full House and she definitely indulged my wishes to dish a little bit about John Stamos.

1:50.0

So thank you Andrea for that.

1:52.0

Plus she was happy to share how she actually feels about Hollywood life and all those red carpets.
