Ted Danson has a ton of respect for stand-up comic and activist W. Kamau Bell and the choices he’s made in life. The “United Shades of America” host talks to Ted about his path to melding comedy and activism, dealing with those his disagrees with, discerning how best to use his voice, staying joyful in the face of the world’s sadness, working with educators, and more.
