End this family debate about the correct pronunciation of the last name "Saget"

Anonymous
A family member was telling me last night the correct pronunciation is "Sa Jay" not "Sag It"

Yes or no?

Does it all depend on what part of the world you live in?

You pronounce it that way it is pronounced by the person whose name it is.

Uh, he pronounced himself as "Sag-It"

What is your family member smoking? Saget wasn't French; he was a Jewish kid from Philly.

Danny Tanner's name was Bob SAG-ET (just as it's written). Your family knows someone who pronounces it differently.

New Yorkers say HOW STUN instead of HEW STUN. Texans say HEW STUN.

No, both New Yorkers and Texans call the street in Manhattan HOWSTUN and the city in Texas HEWSTUN. Because they’re pronounced differently.

Bob Saget's name was originally Zogut/Zhogot/Zaget.
