Maybe my favorite Woody moment is when Frasier introduces Lilith to the bar.. "everybody id like you to meet my date, dr lilith sternin, md phd edd apa" and Woody goes "boy it sure isnt spelled like it sounds" A great episode as well.
@massimosgaravato8232 I don't hold it against Conan or anything but to me there is a no man's land that should be avoided for those who have passed. What the hell do I know about humor I am some unknown TH-cam commenter, but I think if you're going to try and land a joke on a beloved character who is no longer with us, ideally the joke is good enough to make everyone forget you just joked about it, which unfortunately wasn't the case. Whoops, accidentally deleted this comment, maybe it'll take this time.
That joke to introduce the character of Woody to the show (and the audience) should be studied by tv writers everywhere. It’s perfect. It’s not only very funny, but it lets the audience relax and know that everything’s going to be ok. Because Coach didn’t leave the show because of contract negotiations or to go onto a different project. He was *beloved* by the audience and, when he passed away, there was a real sense of loss. To give the audience comfort while also making them laugh the way that pen pal joke did is a real skill.
It works on so many levels. The goofyness of the charas, and yet wholesomeness, and in the end, the fact that coach handed the 'pen' off to woody. That people were thinking 'he's never going to be as good as Coach, and yet, there he was."
One thing special about Cheers is that they filmed on actual film instead of videotape like all the other shows at the time. That's why it looks so good even today.
They did do a videotape test because the studio wanted to cut costs so they shot a scene but it looked drab, dull, and lifeless... so they stuck with film.
@@staxmantim I didn't know that either but it does explain a lot about why it always felt so much more like being in a real place than the other shows, like a real bar not just a soundstage. That bar felt real to so many people and maybe that's because it wasn't over-lit.
I studied film in the the early 2000s and back then, we were all "film-purists" because video just couldn't compare and we couldn't imagine it ever replacing film. They say that film has deeper dimension because the emulsion has layers while video is flat. Film was way higher resolution than video back then. Each frame of film ends up in a slightly different position in the gate of the camera and projector so that we subconsciously perceive it as moving in an almost shaky dancing motion while the video frame is perfectly still. And video was 30 frames per second interlaced which made it sharp and hyper-realistic while film has a slower frame rate of 24 and is full frame rather than interlaced which gives it an other-worldly magical feel. It was one of the biggest revolutions in 150 years of motion pictures when video cameras became high-enough resolution to shoot movies on. Now, they're two and three times the resolution of 35mm film.
I always enjoyed how "Woody" referred to Dianne as "Ms. Chambers" even though they were not very far apart in age. It was part of the running joke that he was a simple country boy in the big city.
I mean it was mostly Ted setting up her laughter, conan was just the cherry on top saying "where did this penis come from?!" Because sona ALWAYS laughs at penis or poop.
Always loved Woody, great replacement, and a great start to his career.......but I will ALWAYS miss Coach. Beloved. Nicholas Colasanto. When you see him in "Raging Bull" or "Fat City", it makes his performance as Coach even better. Brilliant actor, success came to him too late. Directed lots of TV as well, directed episodes of Hawaii Five-O, Starsky & Hutch, Bonanza, Columbo, CHiPs, etc
Amazing to thank that show in the early seasons was just cracking the top 20. I remember from the beginning that show was special and therefore assumed it was a hit for everyone. By the time I was in college, Thursday nights were special. We’d often get a quarter keg to watch cheers. Jabber before. Jabber during the commercials. But when the show was on, you could hear a pin drop… In fact, sometimes before the show would start, we would play Cheers trivia. Also had a roommate named norm. We used to send him out just to walk in so we could yell, “NORM” and set up a classic Norm line for him… Great memories!
As a teenager in the 80's, I watched Cheers every night and when they were on repeat everywhere by 87, my track club would watch a couple of episodes after practice. Great times.. We all road tripped to the Skydome in in Toronto to join in the last episode. Thanks for the memories. Didn't Woody say thanks for the mammories later in his career?
I was born in ‘85 and have been watching Cheers almost since I was a can remember and still watch it regularly and love it to this day. An all time fave, an all time great.
100% agree. I grew up watching it as a kid, in the middle of the night when I would stay up late. Now I watch it as an adult and I even indulged and got myself a cheers beer mug and coffee cup. I also got a collection of 50 Cheers VHS tapes. Nothing better than a cold winter day, a hot cocoa, a hot soup, warm fire and a Cheers episode. My favorite episode is definitely the one where Diane wins it for the bowling team. ❤
Watched it growing up and outside of some things that aged poorly it lives up to this day. The creators also did Taxi which also is still good. I was born in 81 and mostly watched these shows in reruns
Same here. It's the show I go to sleep too every night. I've seen it so many times I don't have to watch it. I just listen to it. My all time favorite show hands down.
I started watching "Cheers" when I was 16/7 years old (1986/7) and absolutely loved it. Every so often, I'd hear of them talking about Coach and Diane but missed the jokes. During the pandemic lock-downs, I rewatched the entire 11 seasons. I absolutely fell in love with Diane but the entire cast were fantastic. I also watched all 11 seasons of "Fraiser" having never watched one episode when it was aired. Niles absolutely cracked me up.
So nice to see they are pals, and such a positive story from Woody about being immediately accepted into the family. Stepping in for Coach, was trying to fill some huge shoes. The best show ever.
When i watch reruns, i find myself watching the bar patrons in the bagkground. Interesting to see how they interact with the scenes. Their reactions to jokes, situations, etc.
Yes....i too...watch the extras a lot.....sometimes....they will turn and watch the actors..... I always wondered why all these people are at a bar on a weekday morning...
And they were always on point. Reacting, not camera staring, always on cue. U felt the bar was alive, other things were occurring but we had the inside on the top crew.
In a Halloween episode when Cliff Is dressed as Ponce De Leon There is a M*A*S*H* extra dressed as a M*A*S*H* extra. Near the beginning of the episode.
I heard that Terry Farrell was working at this sitcom after she left DS9, so I wanted to check it out. I watched all 9 seasons of Seinfeld but she never showed up. It was then when I realized, I watched the "wrong" sitcom. No regrets. Now I have to watch "Cheers" to finally see her. ... No wait wrong again, it's Becker!
Awesome interview clip! Woody's always been one of my favorites and Ted is funnier than I thought! Conan is my favorite talk show host followed by Letterman. This concludes the opinion piece nobody asked for!
Please lock the door and leave them in the studio - this podcast needs to go on indefinitely😃😃😃 Love it - great chemistry - super hilarious show today. Once again Team Coco is on 🔥🔥🔥❤🔥
Norm and Woody were my favourite characters in Cheers, and I loved how Woody always called him Mr Peterson and always asked him how his day was going when he came into the bar... followed by the brilliant responses from Norm every time.. ❤❤❤
I am seriously impressed with Conan's decision to not only never wear makeup anymore, but to also not have any "work" done. That is character, displayed with all its warts. Class.
Love these two! I watched Cheers when it aired and am shocked to hear it was low-rated at any time. I don't remember that, but I know I loved it and can still quote lines. I'll definitely listen to this whole episode and check out their podcast.
I looked up Coach after watching this. Im glad he got the role, but I wish he was able to stick around and see the impact of it. What an incredible man.
@@timkane4959 i wish taxi went on longer and was more consistent but those creators are the best in history… taxi, cheers, simpsons, 3 decades is a crazy run
There's this place when you get older and then revisit Cheers on streamers. The first episode is excellent. Shelley Long does the heavy lifting and yet at the same time the characters are basically established in the first 10 minutes. It is nice to revisit a show years later and know who the characters are from the pilot after having seen every episode. Woody coming in to "fill in" for Nicholas Colasanto is no small feat. Nick is like 10x funnier the older you get.
Diane leaving was best thing ever because it allowed the writers to go in a completely different direction and freshen up a hit show and she wasn't a beloved enough character that people missed.
Woody is so genuine. Ted has a great dramatic command always; see Big Miracle scene with Drew B. ' I'd be lying if I said that baby dying didnt hurt like hell...'
To this day one of my fav rewatchable beloved shows, the cast along w Taxi best ever. I’m curious what Ted does for his hair these days as looks naturally full but thought it came out he wore a hair piece 40 yrs ago no?
The Kelly song Woody wrote for her, hilarious! At the time I had a good friend named Kelly and we both watched Cheers and totally laughed at that. To this day we are still great friends and laugh about that! Love ya Kelly, forever! ❤
Two of the funniest I remember... 1. When Sam Malone's character is on a radio station... asking for baseball questions. No one calls in... Woody calls in (on the air) asking where the olives are? 2. When Woody was the butt end victim of the "Irish arm wrestling" gag. After being smacked in the face with his own hand... Woody says, I won... and I'm not even Irish!
I bought the entire d d set long ago and still watch it all the time. Cheers Friends Fraiser will stand the test of time 100 years from now if we are all here will still be re-run. Love the whole show writers and actors and the set. Best of future to them all and sad for anyone who past feels like a family member
frasier to woodys character: perhaps a group session might be beneficial (as in marriage therapy.) Woody: the thought of seeing kelly (his tv wife) with another man would drive me crazy.
When I think of Woody Harrelson, I never think of Cheers, even though I watched it back in the eighties. He has been in too many great movies to associate him with that. But I see that with other people. Like Mark Wahlberg, they might be like, "oh yeah, Marky mark." Or Tom Cruise, they immediately think of Risky business. I am like, "what???" Or Tom Hanks, they think of Bosom buddies. It is crazy.
Ted will always be Sam's character to me .... whatever hes done afterwards was good but Cheers was incredible. Even Curb, he gets close but ..... yeah the whole ensemble at Cheers made the thing float on air.
Woody is just a natural born American icon. This guy oozes humble awesomeness. If he started a religion, I'd follow it because I'm sure it'd be based on common sense and positivity.
6:40 Even two weeks ago (as this was uploaded), Ted's a good lookin' guy. At least that's how I always saw him on Cheers. He has aged extremely well. I'm going to need to re-watch Cheers as a proper adult. I watched reruns a bit when I was in my early 20s I think, but I saw some clips from the show recently and I was howling.
When I started watching Cheers (one of their re-runs) it was one of the later seasons where Coach and Diane had already been replaced by Woody and Rebecca, so watching the first seasons was a little strange.
Woody Harrelson lived in Lebanon Ohio at the same time I did. I was in the 4th grade, so I never saw anyone that looked like him. I think he was in high school at the time. I'm pretty sure if I'd seen someone that looked like that, I would have remembered it.
Woody has played some very sinister characters since being on Cheers. He played those so well that I can't help but being a bit scared of him still. Such a great actor.
This is so funny when they start talking about leg wrestling or Indian wrestling several different cultures did it but I forgotten that my brother and my father and I all loved to do this when I was a kid.
I have been watching bits and pieces of this interview..and it is great..I wish I could hang out with people like this. So many people that don't laugh anymore. BUT..I am really wanting some of that watermelon drink they have. Anyone know what watermelon drink that is? Or can recommend? (and don't tease either-this I am being serious about.) Team Coco-Get in touch.
Maybe my favorite Woody moment is when Frasier introduces Lilith to the bar.. "everybody id like you to meet my date, dr lilith sternin, md phd edd apa" and Woody goes "boy it sure isnt spelled like it sounds" A great episode as well.
Funny but nothing tops the Kelly song.

You just made my day! I absolutely spit my coffee out reading this, THANK YOU

Woody was so well written , coach was someone you could never replace but woody filled a gap there
RIP Coach, who would have been 100 this year, thanks guys for your fond remembrances.

He did the same with Rebecca, Frasier, Norm, Lilith, etc...... even after knowing them for 5_6 seasons. Very polite.
It's been forty years since that moment woody entered cheers
... They both still look great
Cheers was filmed before a live studio audience
I loved the finale
Wow, just reading your comment triggered the sense memory and put my right back in front of the TV hearing that as a kid!
So was Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
Yup, where everybody knows ya name
Before a live studio audience did what?
Cheers remains one of my favorite shows of all time. Great cast, chemistry and writing.
I love how no matter what guest Conan has.. if he sees that he REALLY made Sona laugh he looks so proud. See 6:50
I mean it was mostly Ted setting up her laughter, conan was just the cherry on top saying "where did this penis come from?!" Because sona ALWAYS laughs at penis or poop.
She has such a great laugh, it is a reward for sure.

1 of the best written smart situation comedy Tv show of the 80's and it still stands UP to the crap of today...😎
Like Taxi before it almost could be a theatrical show. Very very good actors
I’m so happy that they are starting a podcast! Love seeing them together!❤

I'd like to hear Ted talk about his experience making the Gulliver's Travels mini-series in the 90's.
lol wow unlocked memory. I recall that
I recorded it on vhs for my parents. Pretty sure it's still in a vhs storage box after 30+ years.
i binged cheers during the pandemic and was thoroughly entertained, thanks gentlemen for the series
I wanna look like Ted Danson when I get old. Love Woody. Will watch any movie that Woody is in. Yes, Cheers is one of the best shows ever.
Cheers is playing in the other room on my TV right now, seen all 11 Seasons at least 6 times its still for my money the best Comedy Show ever.
Love these two! I watched Cheers when it aired and am shocked to hear it was low-rated at any time. I don't remember that, but I know I loved it and can still quote lines. I'll definitely listen to this whole episode and check out their podcast.
Filming a show live in front of a audience is just awesome, need more of that now
Ted Danson is a very underrated actor. He was absolutely brilliant in Fargo season 2.
a) What's Woody drinking? b) What's Woody done to his hand!?...
My favorite coach line was when he wanted to name his daughter "baby girl Pantuso"
My favorite scene was when Coach told his daughter how beautiful she was and that she looked like her mother. Always tears me up.
“Fck stick.”
The delivery killed me!!!

I looked up Coach after watching this. Im glad he got the role, but I wish he was able to stick around and see the impact of it. What an incredible man.
This interview is one for the books!❤🎉❤
It’s great. One of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard. They’re characters with a lot of crazy. Definitely listen to the whole thing guys
Cheers, followed by Frasier, the best two shows ever/still
thanks for the fun/love
I tried watching Frasier.. didn't like it
@@CesarGarcia-ru8hrit gets better after the first season or 2. Ironically have a friend who loves Frasier and never saw Cheers
Don’t forget Taxi
@@timkane4959 i wish taxi went on longer and was more consistent but those creators are the best in history… taxi, cheers, simpsons, 3 decades is a crazy run
@@timkane4959 Agree. Along with Cheers, Taxi is in the pantheon of all time great American TV shows.
Woody giving props to Coach. Awesome. Woody made the most out of his opportunity, especially under difficult circumstances. Great show.
There's this place when you get older and then revisit Cheers on streamers. The first episode is excellent. Shelley Long does the heavy lifting and yet at the same time the characters are basically established in the first 10 minutes.

Nick is like 10x funnier the older you get.
Diane leaving was best thing ever because it allowed the writers to go in a completely different direction and freshen up a hit show and she wasn't a beloved enough character that people missed.
I wasn't a big fan of the character originally, but rewatching the show I really started to notice how damn good Shelly was in the role.
The writers agree. If she’d stayed, the show would have had to end soon because there just wasn’t anywhere else for the Sam and Diane story to go.
It became punchier n less soap like for sure. it had its place a lot like Taxi but as the 80s went on it got way faster and funnier
Woody is so genuine. Ted has a great dramatic command always; see Big Miracle scene with Drew B. ' I'd be lying if I said that baby dying didnt hurt like hell...'
Just love the memories you all have given me though the years, thank you.
the comedy dynamics here between these men its amazing love to see more
To this day one of my fav rewatchable beloved shows, the cast along w Taxi best ever. I’m curious what Ted does for his hair these days as looks naturally full but thought it came out he wore a hair piece 40 yrs ago no?
Probably plugs
Three lovely people and Conan. Awesome.
I was watching Hearts Beat Loud yesterday (GREAT MOVIE!) and forgot that Ted Danson plays an awesome role in it. 10/10 highly recommend

"He's dead! It's my job now!" Woody was great, but Conan could have brought the full Boston tilt to the part.

Woody and Ted both look amazing !
I’m British so naturally I feel that British comedy is the best, but for me Cheers is the greatest sitcom ever.
I'd listen to these guys for days on end. That was one of the most enjoyable episodes. Right up there with Nealon and Goldblum.
i miss seeing you on the tv coco
i could listen to these guys talk all day.
One of the greatest tv comedy shows. Must have watched the series about a dozen times and still laugh at it all
Simply put one of the greatest ever shows, to spin off another great great show!
When I think of Woody Harrelson, I never think of Cheers, even though I watched it back in the eighties.
He has been in too many great movies to associate him with that.
But I see that with other people. Like Mark Wahlberg, they might be like, "oh yeah, Marky mark."
Or Tom Cruise, they immediately think of Risky business.
I am like, "what???"
Or Tom Hanks, they think of Bosom buddies. It is crazy.
I didn't remember that Woody's name on cheers was Woody.
Yeah he plays so many edgy, grizzled characters now that it's crazy to think he used to be that naive doofus on Cheers.
That’s his brilliance. You never felt like he was that naive boy scout after the fact and usually a breakout star gets really pigeonholed
I just found this show!!! Pure GOLD!!!
Ted will always be Sam's character to me .... whatever hes done afterwards was good but Cheers was incredible. Even Curb, he gets close but ..... yeah the whole ensemble at Cheers made the thing float on air.
Woody is just a natural born American icon. This guy oozes humble awesomeness. If he started a religion, I'd follow it because I'm sure it'd be based on common sense and positivity.
Two of the most likable celebrities ever!
Hearing THEM talk about “Sam and Woody” the way WE do, is somehow incredibly reassuring.
Me at first: Woody sounds like he just finished filming The people vs. Larry Flynt.
2:55: Oh okay.
I like this hairstyle on Conan
6:40 Even two weeks ago (as this was uploaded), Ted's a good lookin' guy. At least that's how I always saw him on Cheers. He has aged extremely well.
I'm going to need to re-watch Cheers as a proper adult. I watched reruns a bit when I was in my early 20s I think, but I saw some clips from the show recently and I was howling.
I'm not a huge fan of swearing on TV, but hearing Ted say the occasional F word brings an element of satisfaction.
The two of them hosting a podcast is the throwback podcast I actually care about. I grew up on Cheers and Conan, perfect combination.
When I started watching Cheers (one of their re-runs) it was one of the later seasons where Coach and Diane had already been replaced by Woody and Rebecca, so watching the first seasons was a little strange.
How did you manage to get such clear audio in this video?
Cheers should be required viewing for anyone under the age of 30.
Post ALL the film of every episode
back when comedy was authentic and real as the audience
Cheers, Frasier, Seinfeld, everybody loves Raymond the best shows and of course Conan is right up there 🌟
Woody Harrelson lived in Lebanon Ohio at the same time I did. I was in the 4th grade, so I never saw anyone that looked like him. I think he was in high school at the time. I'm pretty sure if I'd seen someone that looked like that, I would have remembered it.
Woody has played some very sinister characters since being on Cheers. He played those so well that I can't help but being a bit scared of him still. Such a great actor.
I think Conan (since that Hot Ones episode) has come unhinged! Just kidding, of course! Great podcast.
I love how Woody got his feelings hurt on his character's behalf lol Shows how much it takes on a life of it own when playing it for so long
Still one of the finest and funniest shows ever to be presented.
Conan would of fit right in on Cheers
This is so funny when they start talking about leg wrestling or Indian wrestling several different cultures did it but I forgotten that my brother and my father and I all loved to do this when I was a kid.
Are they drinking the chilled chum???

I have been watching bits and pieces of this interview..and it is great..I wish I could hang out with people like this. So many people that don't laugh anymore. BUT..I am really wanting some of that watermelon drink they have. Anyone know what watermelon drink that is? Or can recommend? (and don't tease either-this I am being serious about.) Team Coco-Get in touch.
these are great hangouts with Ted and Woody!
The story of when hazing backfires...
