The year was 1992, and the longtime married man Ted Danson had just wrapped filming the 10th season of the popular sitcom Cheers. The 11th season would not film for another couple months, and so with an abnormally long hiatus ahead of him, Ted decided to sign on to the comedy movie Made in America, starring alongside the recent Oscar winner, Whoopi Goldberg. What happened next was pop culture history. An affair that would go down in infamy. 

The '90s may be a black hole in terms of primary sources and research, but Kaitlyn made sure to scrape up and uncover all the juicy details about this eventful affair. From awkward TV interviews, to controversial comedy routines, to decade later tell-alls, this episode explores it all. 

Note: Mel experienced audio technical difficulties this episode, so her track may sound like she was on the phone (which she was). We apologize-- next week will sound much clearer!
