Ted Danson is dangerously delightful... don't let him try to tell you otherwise.

Ted and Dan got together in Los Angeles back on June 3, 2024, and bonded over coming to terms with their insecurities late in life… could you imagine a world where the adored icon was not only shy, but thought he lost his funny, and needed Larry David to save him? That last part was about Ted, of course, not Dan. (Sorry, Dan). Ted also shares memories from his legendary time on “Cheers” and his magnetic friendship with the “whimsical” Woody Harrelson that culminated in their wonderful SiriusXM podcast, “Where Everybody Knows Your Name with Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson (Sometimes)”. Watch Ted Danson on the hit Netflix series, "A Man on the Inside", created by Mike Schur. Both seasons of "A Man on the Inside" are now streaming on Netflix.

"Anybody who sees trauma in life or has experienced it... those things stay with you. And I think that they make us the present version of who we are on whatever journey we're on."

One year ago in Los Angeles, Jacob Soboroff watched his childhood home turn to ash amongst the thousands of others in one of the most destructive wildfires in history. But, before he was on the front lines covering the devastation of the Palisades and Eaton fires that killed 31 people and destroyed more than 13,000 homes and properties, he was a young student with absolutely no interest in journalism. Jacob talks to Dan about his journey, from theater student to political staffer to journalist. He shares his experiences finding connection, humanity, and hope in the most hopeless of times - in the aftermath of natural disasters, the horror of watching family separation during the first Trump administration... and his concerns about the administration's current anti-immigration efforts seen in ICE raids terrorizing communities across the country. Jacob's book, "Firestorm: The Great Los Angeles Fires and America’s New Age of Disaster", is available now.
