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.
@@francescaa8331 Kelsey Grammar in Boss was amazing.
Kirsty Alley diff pretty good for herself after Cheers as well .. for a while anyway
@@bloodsling And let's not forget Shelley Long specifically left Cheers for a movie career. That didn't pan out.
@@user-hm5zb1qn6g The Money Pit..Brady Bunch? What else did she do of any kind of note? lol
The Danson-Harrelson presence at TeamCOCO feels so good. The next few years are gonna have some awesome conversations.
It does hunh?!? These clips with Woody and Ted just feel so right.
This feels like a marketing write up lol
@@TheHAMMER91 redditor take
I’ve been rewatching all of Cheers recently and this is just great timing. Love these guys
The way that Ted Danson talks to and about Woody you can tell he has so much admiration and respect for the guy. Like he is a real friend. So cool to see them together like this and will tune into their podcast.
The "somewhat forgettable" Woody Harrelson movie that he was shooting in Vegas is probably The Grand, if I had to guess. Crazy cast. Werner Herzog and Ray Romano are in that.
So strange. I watched that a few days ago. It is a wierd movie. Experimental.
That has got to be the strangest casting trio I’ve ever heard.
Lol that movie is hilarious
Name of flick??
@@DriveByDoGooders Um, really?
"Yours was great... 🙃"
🤣🤣
I think they found Sona's edibles.
I loved "Becker" That was such a good vehicle for ted , after being Sam Malone.
Ted Danson as Arthur Frobisher in 'Damages' was a spectacular performance.
Yes! I loved that TV show! Thanks for the reminder. I don’t think it gets enough praise anymore.
Loved Good Place
Commenters have mentioned Malone, Becker, Frobisher, and Michael but no one has mentioned D.B. Russell yet. 😀
"Bored to Death" is one of my favorite shows.
It's a great song too. 😂
@@Rjensen2blink 182?????
@@Mohammed_plt Murderdolls
@@Rjensen2 coulda been bestfriends 😔
Well check out the one by blink-182 if you ever have time, it’s great too
Highly underrated
I wonder if they talk about True Detective. To me that blows everything away.
Woody, to me, never got enough credit for vast range.
He's done comedy, drama, horror, everything....some actors are in those movies as themselves, same type of person in each movie.
He'll play completely different personalities and lifestyles, like a truly great actor.
Woody has done so many remarkable things- but it's probably one of his greatest accomplishments. I loved him in that.
To be fair, Mac stole the whole show. The smartest thing Woody did in that series was give him space to work and not try to outshine him.
Yes, True Detective was awesome (except the whole reveal who the killer was). But Woody's part could have been played by a couple of actors. Matthew's part? Not so much
@@michaelkupfer3723 Last episode was weak but even the weakest episode was better than any of the seasons that followed. 🤷♂️
After watching Cheers for so long, it was shocking seeing Woody in roles like Natural Born Killers and Larry Flynt. I just couldn't wrap my mind around it being the same person. 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.
people think acting is easy, but clearly they have skills to transform roll to roll. I imagine its also half patience. waiting around while the team figures things out, then shorts bursts of submitting to the directors vision. Zen Masters lol
Woody's Dad was a murderer. He's got some dark in him somewhere.
@@benglassmanWasn’t his father a serial killer or something?
@@grahamstrouse1165hitman.
@@grahamstrouse1165 Charles Voyde Harrelson, a hitman convicted of killing Federal Judge John H. Wood, Jr. and Sam Degelia Jr. Tried and acquitted for the killing of Alan Berg. All 3 killings were murders for hire which I guess counts as a serial killer, just not the compulsive kind.
The Good Place is my favorite series ever. It's so good, all the performances are so genuine.
I'm not criticizing your taste, because we are all different, but we tried watching that and it was just TORTURE. Disappointing because you are right, everyone in it is good.
@@Mozart1220 really? It's one of my favorite TV series as well. I think the way it explores philisophy, agency/growth, and the concept of an afterlife absolutely amazingly. What about it was difficult to watch/how far did you get? :O
"THIS is the bad place!"
Also incredible as its so awesome to have something deeper and more thoughtful than normal reality TV.
@@Mozart1220 try it again! the end had me sobbing in a good way
If you haven't watched the The Good Place yet don't spoil yourself on what they were talking about. Just watch it.
Woody Harrelson is one of the best actors out there. I've been into his work since MONEY TRAIN/White Man can't jump/NBK....Dude is cool AF.
Ted's cameos in Curb Your Enthusiasm are terrific!
cameo? He was almost like a regular in that show with the no. of appearance he had in curb.
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.
Woody plays this incredible role as a meth addict violent psycho in a film with Willem DaFoe and Christian Bale called Into the Furnace. It's incredible.
I realize now there are several Woody movies I've never seen. I'll have to look for them. My favorite performances include Wag the Dog and True Detective. But No Country was really good, too.
@@francescaa8331 it reminded me of Philip Seymor Hoffman in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. I always felt on edge whenever he was on screen.
Funny you mention Leslie Nielson, they were both in the movie Creepshow together, pre-Cheers too. The both played opposite each other and its so different from what both are known for. They were both great.
Comparing Danson to Leslie Nielson is just... wow. One was a comedic genius that could make you laugh with just his face, had impeccable comedic timing, his slapstick skills were on par with Chaplin... and then we have Danson.
That Doc Hollywood line made me laugh when I re-watched the movie earlier this year, I'd completely forgotten about it.
I was laughing out loud for the whole thing. It's so obvious when it's people who actually love one another and are good people.
I didn't see it coming either! Just the best show ever. Ted Danson was absolutely superb. Perfection.
Directors like the Coen Brothers have put so much thought into every shot, that by the time they go into production there isn't room for feedback, lol.
I remember a collaborator of theirs saying somewhere that they're so meticulous in scripting and storyboarding and such that they'll basically say: "The movie's done, all we have to do is shoot it."
Sounds like a more struck q.t.
I remember when Nicolas Cage said during the production of Raising Arizona, he gave a lot of suggestions on his character to both of the brothers but they never listened to any of it. However, they did appreciate his enthusiasm in the movie
Well there is a reason that the coens are brilliant filmmakers.... And woody is just an actor.
@@bolo2393 yes directed a film they Recieved good reviews. Js
None of them watched each other's episode😂
Please do a Mike Schur episode!
Yes! 👍
So funny. I could watch this all day. I loved it at the end when Woody said in the movie, "No, that's Ted Danson."
Not to be missed is Danson's performance in the great 1981 film Body Heat.
He was fun in Hearts Beat Loud too
This movie is terribly underrated
So much fun listening to the banter and jokes..I really enjoyed it.❤
We need the four of you as a new format. I love it.
Sorry Gourley :(
Loving every minute of it, guys. Keep it coming......or else!
Nice, a bit of new Coen Bros trivia that I had never heard before for good measure, could it get any better?
Ted Danson was brilliant in The Good Place!
Please, more of these 2!!
They have a podcast now I’m pretty sure
@@mickll12 That's awesome, but I also love the Conan dynamic.
Danson was great in Bored to Death
Thanks again for making my day a little brighter no no thats Ted Danson fn amazing
4 of the coolest people! sona, woody, ted and conan!😍
So cool these guys got to hang out with Sona!
I adore them!!!!
The good place ❤️Was an amazing show . Thanks 😻
I had no idea Woody was on Cheers. Granted, I was young when it was on TV, but still. New knowledge gained.
Woody is a hero in the medical marijuana community, he's such a down-to-Earth guy who isn't stuck in the Hollywood mindset. He really seems to care about others & is willing to donate his time & energy
edit: spelling
Woody is a powerful actor.
I truly like him
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 ...
"children's morality play" my little sister literally loves it for that lol so spot on
2 legends❤
Conan was great on Curb
After watching this interview, no way in hell I’m not starting a Cheers binge watch tonight!!!💯👏🎯
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.
Wonder if the Coen brothers talked to Harrelson like that Sheriff talked to the Dude in the Big Lebowski?
Ted was brilliant on Fargo.
Woody can effortlessly fake his way through anything. That's a gift.
Becker was such a good character - it would be good to hear more about that show.
The Good Place was remarkable. Ted was wonderful in it.
Woody was so great in The Hi-Lo Country.
I loved Ted Danson in Bored to Death as well
“Yours was great!” I’m dead 😂😂😂
Woody as Galaxia 😆
"I feel like dancing! dancing!"
that's one loaded table of charisma
Everybody busting each other… classic
Come on Conan, you should have asked Woody about Rampart!
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.
The only woman that got Emmett Brown's attention
Conan's face 9:10 :DDDD
Natural Born Killers is easily in my top 5.
Woody's revenge. That was a good one, lol.
This is a really cool dynamic. Man, they could probably tell stories for months.
Oh man....if only this podcast was around when LOST was on-air. Imagine the cast on this podcast...
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*"
Kingpin “classic” all time😂
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?"
ive watched it 10+ times it was 'grapes'.
Woody is a savage lol
pleeeeease get anthony jeselnik on the pod🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Woody is settling into old guy so nicely, he has a certain charm about his charisma that evolves with his age, a proverbial fine wine of the movie world. Always a treat to see him in action. Oh and aww...Whos that other guy?! LOL
team coco - good content on this one - only 138 days left and you still haven't picked a vp? #team coco 2024
Guys, can we please stay on track and keep to talking about Rampart?
Natural Born Killers was a goddamned mindfuck. It was the first movie that gave me nightmares.
Incredible guest panel. Thank you.
Life is a path lit only by the light of the masturbating bear.
Before Natural Born Killers, Woody was in White Men Can't Jump, Indecent Proposal, and Doc Hollywood.
u would think ted was the bigger star and maybe he was .. but woody actually in way more really great movies...
"He's like a killer" ---> ouch. bit of a faux pas there. Woody does an awkward freeze for a moment when he says that.
Very good 😂👏👏👏
I love how Sona is honestly rofling. If laughter can really prolong life, than she will outlive Conan's mummified body :)
Rofl means rolling on the floor laughing. At no point was Sona rolling on the floor. Learn what words mean, it matters.
And it was about Ted pantsing Woody. Such humor. 😂
@@cleverusername9369 it's only the chair preventing her from doing so
It is genuine loling
@@cleverusername9369 You meant acronym, right? How embarrasing.
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 feel like Ted was feeling like the focus was on him to much and directed it back to Woody partway in.
Nah. I know for a fact i come from a parallel universe where their name is spelled cohen not coen.

I'm in need of your prayers and support. Please keep me in your thoughts as I navigate my health journey.
You see Harrelson's right hand / wrist, he had an accident on the way to coming to this interview... apparently Danson came to his Aid and wrapped Woody's hand / wrist, that is why it looks so unprofessional.
What happened to Woody's hand.
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.
I second this! That would have been sweet!
It's weird how much older Harrelson now looks and sounds compared to Danson.

1:35 if Woody gave me a wink like this at any point in my life i happen to luck upon the chance of being in the same room as him, i think i'd be a better person now
Sona has the most infectious laugh😂
Woody and Sam ...
Man everyone is so high
🍻
Woody and Ted would be a cool guys to hang out with.
Woody's dad killed jfk and then fathered Maconaughey
What about “White Men Can’t Jump”?!
Imbibe Record!
I don't know who that Girl is but she's a Babe
She's Conan's longtime assistant. Her name is Sona Movsesian.
Both are under-rated actors. Danson on Damages was riveting. Woody in everything is always watchable.
