Harrelson and Danson really beat the TV actor odds to a tremendous degree. Danson with several post-Cheers series that went for multiple seasons and Harrelson achieving that rare thing: a TV actor who successfully transitioned into a lasting movie career.

Some of the TV casting directors really can pick talent. 4 actors from Cheers have had notable careers. Ted and Woody, of course. Kelsey has done well, and Ratzenberger, as a voice actor in feature films. You're right, Woody being a movie star is a rare transition. Honestly, I would not have picked him for it. I had no idea how much range he had.

How could sweet, gentle Woody be so dark and evil? I guess he had to do it to break free of being forever typecast in that role.

They've both had insane careers that, for people like me born after Cheers, they're post-Cheers careers overshadow it because they are that spectacular. As Conan mentions, No Country for Old Men. Woody was also in The Thin Red Line, his TV work in True Detective, his part in the Hunger Games. Man can play anything he wants. Ted Danson is simply one of the best comedic actors since Leslie Neilson, he can switch the straight and funny parts at will. The Good Place is a masterpiece of modern comedy and he holds it together. The way he plays himself in Curb is the best other than Larry himself. Both are American royalty. One of the best podcasts ever bringing them together.

So cool these guys got to hang out with Sona!

I adore them!!!!

I had no idea Woody was on Cheers. Granted, I was young when it was on TV, but still. New knowledge gained.

The crazy thing for me and my girlfriend about the first season of The Good Place was that we had both had someone spoil the twist but wasn't sure the other had, and all the way to the end we were both convinced the spoiler was true ...

Conan was great on Curb

"children's morality play" my little sister literally loves it for that lol so spot on

Woody is a powerful actor. I truly like him

2 legends❤

Woody was so great in The Hi-Lo Country.

Ted was brilliant on Fargo.

Becker was such a good character - it would be good to hear more about that show.

Really curious what he changed. The exchange in the book is quite a bit longer, but mostly on Chigurh's end. I'm guessing he just threw in all the times Welles says "Just do it" and Chigurh keeps putting it off.

After watching this interview, no way in hell I’m not starting a Cheers binge watch tonight!!!💯👏🎯

that's one loaded table of charisma

I loved Ted Danson in Bored to Death as well

Wonder if the Coen brothers talked to Harrelson like that Sheriff talked to the Dude in the Big Lebowski?

The Good Place was remarkable. Ted was wonderful in it.

Everybody busting each other… classic

This is a really cool dynamic. Man, they could probably tell stories for months.

Woody can effortlessly fake his way through anything. That's a gift.

Come on Conan, you should have asked Woody about Rampart!

Natural Born Killers is easily in my top 5.

Kingpin “classic” all time😂

Conan's face 9:10 :DDDD

“Yours was great!” I’m dead 😂😂😂

Natural Born Killers was a goddamned mindfuck. It was the first movie that gave me nightmares.

Woody's revenge. That was a good one, lol.

Oh man....if only this podcast was around when LOST was on-air. Imagine the cast on this podcast...

ive watched it 10+ times it was 'grapes'.

I remember seeing a trailer for Natural Born Killers when i was very young, and my dads reaction was something along the lines of "What are you doing Woody?"

Woody is a savage lol

Nice 💙🧡

I wonder if Woody knew he was making the Krasinski jab. It basically went: Ted: "I was talking to my friend, John Krasinski" Woody: "That guy who you name-dropped knows literally *everyone*"

In spite of all his success and talent, there's only one thing that I am jealous of -- Ted's married to Mary Steenburgen. Hottest woman in Hollywood. Perhaps even the hottest woman alive. Hats off to you, Mr. Danson.

I feel like Ted was feeling like the focus was on him to much and directed it back to Woody partway in.

"He's like a killer" ---> ouch. bit of a faux pas there. Woody does an awkward freeze for a moment when he says that.

I'm glad that Sona was there. She added to the conversation and held her own as a non performer among very seasoned performers. Get it girl.

I'm in need of your prayers and support. Please keep me in your thoughts as I navigate my health journey.

Crormac McCarthy is a great author. I dont doubt that the dialog from the book might have been better. I was disappointed by the last episode of Cheers so I wrote my own. In my fantasy episode the whole show would just be a regular episode with the usual antics however, in the beginning a long haired kid with a back pack comes in, sits at the bar and orders a beer. At some point he takes out a notebook and starts writing. At closing, Danson says to the kid, "Sorry, but it's closing and this is our last night I'm Sam Malone by the way. The kid says "That's too bad. I'm Les, Les Charles." My wife and I are friends with Zora Charles's brother and his wife. My wife went to college with her. I think my ending would be fun because it would lead to speculation that Cheers was a real place that Les, the creator of Cheers, had discovered.
