This is the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello everybody back when I was a TV journalist I very often found interviewing celebrities to be a

titanic pain in the ass. Celebrity in my experience were often guarded or

defensive or hiding behind a wall of publicists.

Thus far, however, on this show, we have been incredibly lucky.

All the celebrities who have come on here have been open and game.

It's maybe the case, I guess, that there's some self-selection thing going on here where anybody who's willing to come on this show is

going to be ready to go for it. In any event of all the celebrity interviews we've done here, Ted Danson is a standout for me.

As you're about to hear, he's just incredibly funny and unguarded and interesting.

This is a wide-ranging, free-flowing interview where we cover 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 the time he did shrooms with his fellow cast members on

Cheers.

Speaking of Cheers, Ted Danson has a new podcast called Where Everybody Knows Your Name,

his co-host, at least occasionally, is the great actor Woody Harrelson who was also of

course on that show a little bit more about Ted before we dive in here on this show

Ted Dance and is a TV legend as you know he's been on

Cheers and The Good Place of course. My favorite performances of his were

actually on dramatic shows such as Damages and Fargo to awesome shows.

Just a few more tidbits here.

Ted Danson has won a few Emmys in Golden Globes
