By Movieguide® Contributor
Lori Loughlin and her FULL HOUSE love interest John Stamos are teaming up to bring a FULL HOUSE mini-reunion on Project Angel Food’s telethon.
“Project Angel Food’s benefit broadcast special, LEAD WITH LOVE, will return to KTLA 5 on June 22…,” Variety reported. “Joining hosts Steven Weber and Jessica Holmes are co-hosts Loni Love and Alec Mapa and announcer Lisa Foxx.”
“Plus, the special will feature a KNOTS LANDING reunion with Donna Mills, Michele Lee and Joan Van Ark along with FIVE YEAR FLASHBACK encore appearances by Ringo Starr, Oprah Winfrey, Carol Burnett, Paula Abdul, Lily Tomlin and Whoopi Goldberg,” Variety reported.
Stamos and Loughlin performed on FULL HOUSE together as Aunt Becky and Uncle Jessie for eight seasons from 1987-1995.
Last year, fans enjoyed the duo’s reunion on TikTok, where they performed a brief dance together.
“Just Jesse and Becky dancing in the kitchen,” one person commented. “This took me back to my childhood.”
Along with Stamos and Loughlin, “the two-hour show will feature performances by Jason Alexander, Jewel, David Archuleta, Thelma Houston, Sarah Potenza with musical director Michael Orland, along with “Five Year Flashback” performances from Annie Lennox, Billy Idol, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, Kristin Chenoweth, Sarah McLachlan, Josh Groban, Pentatonix, Vanessa Williams, LeAnn Rimes and others. Ziggy Marley, reggae artist Bob Marley’s son, will also perform at the benefit,” Variety reported.
Project Angel Food’s CEO Richard Ayoub, KTLA’s Marcus Smith and Jacob Burch will executive produce along with Brad Bessey and Michael Levitt.
“The telethon will also feature a segment with KTLA reporters and staff volunteering at Project Angel Food, and all the meals donated that day will be dedicated in memory to KTLA entertainment reporter Sam Rubin, who died last month,” Variety said.
Loughlin is a long-time volunteer for Project Angel Foods. The organization even inspired her movie A CHRISTMAS BLESSING, which earned her the 2024 Movieguide® Grace Prize® for TV Performance.

“The organization helps so many people and it really feeds your own soul to help others,” Loughlin said. “Now, the organization has expanded so much. I do deliveries in the morning, drop food off and check in on people. It’s just been great and one of the most rewarding experiences. I love doing it.”
In an interview with Parade, Loughlin elaborated on her volunteer work, saying, “I don’t think a lot of people know that food banks, help feed families year round. Many people do volunteer at food banks during the holidays, but food banks are a necessity all year round. Unfortunately, hunger is a prevalent problem world wide. If you have the time or the means please consider supporting and helping out at your local food bank.”
LEAD WITH LOVE will stream on June 22 on KLTA 5, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Samsung and on KTLA and Project Angel Food’s websites, YouTube channels, Instagram, Facebook and X.
