  • Today Ted Danson is joined by his favorite person in the world-and surprise, it’s not Woody! In the first of this two-part series, Ted asks Mary Steenburgen about her early years: growing up in Arkansas, what her parents were like, witnessing desegregation, her hippie days, how she got the acting bug, and her big break with Jack Nicholson.

    ABOUT WHERE EVERYBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME
    Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson are total opposites with an unbreakable bond since meeting on the hit sitcom “Cheers.” But after that show wrapped, life took them in different directions, and they missed each other. This podcast is a chance to reconnect, both with each other and the amazing friends they’ve each met over the decades, like Will Arnett, Dax Shepard, Jane Fonda, Mary Steenburgen, José Andrés, Conan O'Brien, and more - that is, when Ted can get a hold of Woody! Join them as they dig beyond the career highlights and into the stuff of life that makes us who we are. Like the title says, this is a place to be known.

    wow. They act like 2 people who never met and have crushes on each other. Their smiles. Laughter. Fantastic....Mary, you are a wonderful human being.

    It is soo wonderful to see a couple still this in love after 30 years. I feel such warmth that i am crying happy tears to hear this and know it exists at least for two people in this world. Great love, great admiration for each other. I feel like I see in these two the personification of what marriage is supposed to feel like. You feel so lucky to have this wonderful person in your life and they feel the same way. Ted and Mary, please start your own podcast and find other couples in and out of show business who share the same connection. We need the inspiration and reminder of what decency looks like.

    I was in third grade when I got to be an extra on Back To The Future III. Mary had kids the same age as me and my brother. My mom was the Nurse on set. I went to school in a trailer for 3 months, waiting to be called to set. I got to wear a dress that was 100 years old. Even at my young age, I felt the significance of putting on that dress. Mary was the sweetest person on set. She always paid attention to us kiddos. To the extent, she let us take her family to “see our town.” ❤
    I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.

      Also, the way you talk about your Mom and Dad makes me cry. I miss my Dad so much. My Dad was awesome and my only cheerleader. I got into drugs, mental health problems. My Dad never gave up on me. He died a couple years ago and I feel like my only cheerleader is gone.

    I love Mary. I am a 38 y/o woman, and I remember being fascinated by her. She is beautiful, but she wasn't one of the “sex symbols” the 90s media seemed to elevate. Now, listening to her, it was clear that she has a gentle way of being in the world but a markedly strong mind and heart. Mary, Murphy Brown, and Julia Sugarbaker from Designing Women. These are the people I modeled my internal world by. I am very southern and the first person to go to college on either side of my family, and my environment was a heavy-handed legalistic religion. It was made very clear that women have a place as the “weaker vessel.” Books and media were my teachers that life could look completely different. Today, I am a social worker, advocating for everyone to belong and have a place in society. If women like Mary had not been present during my formative years, my life would look completely different today. I would not have known I could try a completely different path where I did not have to compromise parts of myself to meet the expectations of my tribe. I am so grateful. And Mary, you aren't liberal because you are no longer in the South. You just feel more comfortable being vocal about it. I live in the heart of the Bible Belt, and I am a liberal progressive. I value those on the fringes of society. That is all.

    Two of my favorite movies of all time are bttf 3 and parenthood. I grew up watching Ted and i never really thought he was that charismatic on screen but I've been enjoying his contribution to team coco and glad he's been such a good guy to the people around him all this time in Hollywood. I have a growing affinity for him now, hearing how good of a husband he is.

    When I was about 17. I attended the London premiere of Back to the Future 3. Since then, I’ve briefly met many many stars at my work but she was the first one I ever saw. I will always remember Mary walked by about three feet in front of me in some magnificent blue dress and I thought to myself. That has to be the most beautiful woman alive, just how gorgeous she is and how beautiful they manage to make Hollywood starlets look. It’s shocking. All the fashion and make up but also just the way she carried herself so regally.

    I also experienced the early childhood trauma of being taught that if I did something wrong, something bad was going to happen, and in my case, I was going to hell, as well as my friends who didn’t live my religion’s teachings. And how that carved out how I viewed the world and other people.
    I wish more podcasters would embrace serious conversations, and trust that conversations about real life will provide the occasional laugh.

I wanted to make my partner a partner in the podcast. Probably not the best approach for me. I envy this episode. Thank you Conan for creating a space for Ted, Woody and not Mary. She might be hooked to co-host a favorite interview with TD. Because he is a touchdown!
