Coulier shares remission news on Good Morning America

Comedian and actor Dave Coulier told Good Morning America on Feb. 4, 2026, that his tongue cancer is now in remission. “It’s been a roller coaster ride for sure,” Coulier said. “I’m in remission with both cancers. And what a journey this has been.”

Coulier first revealed the tongue cancer diagnosis to the public in December. The new diagnosis was p16-positive squamous cell carcinoma located at the base of his tongue.

Diagnosis and treatment timeline

The actor said this diagnosis came about a year after he completed treatment for Stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Medical teams told him the two cancers were unrelated.

To address the squamous carcinoma, Coulier underwent a course of radiation. He previously said he would receive 35 radiation treatments that would continue through the end of 2025. In his GMA interview, he confirmed that those treatments — along with follow-up care — have led to the cancer entering remission.

What Coulier said about his recovery

Coulier described the past year as an emotional and physical challenge. He thanked his medical team, family and fans for their support during treatment and recovery. The actor emphasized gratitude and relief now that scans and clinical checks show no active disease.

Though he expressed optimism, Coulier also acknowledged the uncertainty that comes with cancer follow-up care and the importance of continued monitoring.

This interview is the primary source for Coulier’s update and includes his personal reflections on treatment, recovery and the support system that helped him through the process.

What this means going forward

Being in remission means Coulier’s current scans and assessments show no detectable cancer at this time. Doctors typically continue periodic surveillance after remission to monitor for any signs of recurrence.

Coulier’s public updates also raise awareness about head and neck cancers, including p16-positive squamous cell carcinoma — a form often linked to HPV — and the realities many patients face when managing multiple cancer diagnoses.

This is a developing story. ABC News and Good Morning America provided the original report; Coulier’s interview remains the primary account of his condition and outlook.
