Bob Saget: Then

Standup comic Bob Saget had been playing single dad Danny Tanner on Full House for a couple of seasons already when he took on another job: hosting America's Funniest Home Videos, the show that gave regular people the chance to win cash with footage of painful home accidents.

Tami Roman: Then

Tami Roman was one of the roommates on the second season of MTV's The Real World. You may remember her best for the incident in which another of the Los Angeles cast members, David Edwards, tried to pull bedding off of her while she was in her underwear, which he claimed was a joke.

Pam Ling and Judd Winick: Then

The Real World: San Francisco, AKA Season 3 of the groundbreaking MTV reality show, may be the one most '90s kids remember best, thanks to cast members like the late Pedro Zamora, the show's first roommate living with AIDS, and bike messenger David "Puck" Rainey, who got himself kicked out of the house. Meanwhile, though their relationship didn't become romantic in the house, med student Pam Ling and cartoonist Judd Winick later shared with fans that they'd fallen in love.

Judge Judy Sheindlin: Then

Ever since 1996, Judge Judy's own Judge Judy Sheindlin has had daytime audiences enraptured by her epic eye rolls and sarcastic take downs as she presides over real small claims court cases.

Judge Judy Sheindlin: Now

Judge Judy is still on the air. In March of this year, Sheindlin announced that this 25th season will be the last, but she'll be back with a new courtroom show called Judy Justice almost immediately after. According to Variety, the format will be familiar to Judge Judy fans, but the show will likely go to a streaming service, not a network. In 2019, she was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Daytime Emmys.

Judge Joe Brown: Then

While Judge Joe Brown didn't have the staying power of Judge Judy, its 1998-2013 run isn't anything to sneeze at.

Judge Joe Brown: Now

Joe Brown hasn't been in the spotlight much for the last few years. In 2014, he lost the general election for district attorney of Shelby County, Tennessee, and in 2015, he spent five days in jail after being charged with contempt of court after a courtroom argument allegedly got heated.

She's been married to Suits star Gabriel Macht for 14 years, and the couple has two children.

Irene McGee: Then

Irene McGee didn't finish out the season when she was on The Real World: Seattle, and she was notoriously slapped by another roommate, Stephen Williams, while she was literally in the car that would take her away from the house. She's since spoken out about why she left the show, calling the environment "toxic" and full of manipulation in a piece for Vulture.

Irene McGee: Now

McGee has continued to shed light on her experience with reality TV in various ways, including through a one-woman show. She also has a YouTube channel and is involved with organizations that raise funds and awareness of Lyme Disease, which she revealed on the show that she was diagnosed with.

Teck Holmes: Then

Teck Holmes was one of the most charismatic and ambitious housemates on The Real World: Hawaii, which says a lot for a season that kicked off with three cast members skinny-dipping.

Teck Holmes: Now

Holmes is an actor and producer with an active social media presence. His standout post-Real World role is still 2002's Van Wilder, where he acted opposite Ryan Reynolds.

Mark Long and Kit Hoover: Then

Mark Long and Kit Hoover were the will-they-won't-they couple of the first season of Road Rules (basically, "what if The Real World was in a camper van?"), which premiered on MTV in 1995.

Mark Long and Kit Hoover: Now

The two former cast members are still friends and work together occasionally. Hoover began a broadcast career after Road Rules and has been a cohost of Access Live since 2010. Long returned to MTV for several iterations of The Challenge, the physical competition show that pits former Road Rules and Real World cast members against each other. He dropped by Access Live in February to reunite with Hoover again earlier in 2020.
