What does a new grandfather do when he is trying to curry favor with his granddaughter after missing her second birthday party? If you are Jimmy (John Stamos), and own an upscale restaurant, you throw a grand party for her yourself. For good measure, Jimmy calls in a favor from old friend Richie Sambora (Stamos and Sambora are also friends in real life).
Making a guest appearance in an episode of Grandfathered titled “Deadbeat,” superstar rocker Richie Sambora, formerly with Bon Jovi, serenaded the birthday girl. As Jimmy shares a few sweet moments with his granddaughter on the dance floor, Sambora sings “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
Jimmy has been playing catch-up since finding out about a grown son and a granddaughter he previously did not know existed. This extravagant gesture was a nice addition to the show.
