Actress Jodie Sweetin disclosed receiving a one-cent paycheck from Full House residuals during a podcast appearance.

The disclosure came on the April 21, 2026, episode of the McBride Rewind podcast, where she spoke to host Josh McBride. @DailyCaller reported that Sweetin highlighted how streaming has ended traditional syndication payments.
"I got a one-cent check the other day," Sweetin said. She explained that "there's no syndication anymore because it's all in streaming. Who gets paid for that? " The actress noted that residuals were more substantial during the first run of syndication.
Sweetin described the income as unpredictable. "You don't know how much it's going to be or how often they're going to run the show," she stated. In her 20s, she said, there would be money from residuals, but it was not reliable.
"People think I live some extravagant life," Sweetin told McBride. She detailed her current situation: "I drive my 2023 used Hyundai Sonata that I love. I rent my house.
