A self-described "silly man" tells us about what's really important in life.


Ted Danson has an acting career spanning over four decades. He rose to prominence in the 1980s with his iconic portrayal of Sam Malone in the long-running sitcom "Cheers," earning him critical acclaim and multiple awards. Danson's charisma and acting prowess have since led him to a myriad of diverse roles, including his Emmy-nominated performances in "Damages" and "Fargo." Most recently, he starred in the existential comedy "The Good Place." Beyond his acting career, Danson is also celebrated for his environmental activism and philanthropy, demonstrating a commitment to making a positive impact beyond the screen. His next venture? A podcast with his old "Cheers" buddy, Woody Harrelson.



In this episode we talk about:

  • meditation
  • marriage
  • hypochondria
  • grief
  • what he means when he calls himself a joy junkie
  • what he learned from being on the TV show "The Good Place"
  • and that time he did shrooms with his fellow cast members on "Cheers"
