Saget directed the 1996 [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] television film ''[[For Hope]]'', which was inspired by the life story of his sister, Gay Saget, who had died from [[scleroderma]] three years earlier.<ref name="Gale"/> In 1998, he directed his first feature film, ''[[Dirty Work (1998 film)|Dirty Work]]'', starring [[Norm Macdonald]] and [[Artie Lange]]. Released one year after he left his role as host of ''America's Funniest Home Videos'', the film received broadly negative reviews from critics and earned low box office returns.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1083480-dirty_work|title=Dirty Work|website=Rotten Tomatoes|date=June 12, 1998|access-date=January 12, 2022|archive-date=January 23, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220123194307/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1083480-dirty_work|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Howard Stern's Sidekick Mouths Off|url=https://www.tvguide.com/news/howard-stern-sidekick-39055/|first=Tim|last=Williams|date=February 8, 2005|website=TV Guide|access-date=January 12, 2022|archive-date=February 10, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220210060839/https://www.tvguide.com/news/howard-stern-sidekick-39055/|url-status=live}}</ref> However, it has since become a [[cult favorite]], due partially to Artie Lange's later popularity on ''[[The Howard Stern Show]]'' where the film is sometimes mentioned, often in unflattering terms.<ref>{{cite news|title=Staff Praises Don Rickles in 'Dirty Work'|url=https://www.howardstern.com/show/2005/07/21/not-so-bad-after-all-rundowngallerymodel-16453/|date=July 21, 2005|access-date=January 12, 2022|publisher=The Howard Stern Show}}</ref> In 1998, Saget made a [[cameo appearance]] as a [[cocaine]] addict in the stoner comedy ''[[Half Baked]]''.<ref name="JewishNewsPhoenix"/>
