Summary

Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson are paying homage to the co-creators of Cheers, Glen and Les Charles! The Charles brothers talk with Ted and Woody about how they went from working on shows like The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Taxi to creating Cheers, how they cast the series regulars, and what Shelley Long’s departure meant for the show. Bonus: Ted asks the brothers to confirm that he in fact vouched for Woody. To help those affected by the Southern California wildfires, make a donation to World Central Kitchen today.
