Ted Danson bandaged Woody Harrelson after motorcycle accident

Woody Harrelson And Ted DansonThe decades-long friendship reached a new level after Danson helped his former Bottom up Co-star after a motorcycle accident.

Danson, 76, and Harrelson, 62, were scheduled to appear at Conan O’Brien‘s podcast “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend,” but the interview was postponed when Harrelson was hit by a car while riding his motorcycle in Los Angeles.

“I passed this Tesla on the left that I thought was going a little slow, but I didn’t realize it was going slow because it was turning left,” Harrelson said in the episode, which aired on Sunday, June 16. The actor explained that he likes to ride around LA on a motorcycle because it’s generally a faster mode of transportation, adding, “Today it turned out it wasn’t very fast.”

Harrelson added of the accident: “It was painful, but I never thought I would be killed or anything.”

Sometimes you want to go where everyone knows your name! The critically acclaimed sitcom Cheers ran from 1982 to 1993 and was about a group of locals who hung out at a Boston bar of the same name. “Everything I do, I do because of the popularity of that show,” Ted Danson said during a (…)

O’Brien, 61, joked that he and his team were trying to determine if Harrelson was still “alive” after the accident when they noticed: “Her hand is wrapped up, like someone in a cartoon.”

“That’s because I wrapped it,” Danson revealed. “I wrapped it and thought it looked more fun that way.”

The former co-stars shared a hearty laugh about the unusual situation while Danson tended to Harrelson’s injuries. “We’re in the bathroom and I was like, ‘You played a doctor, right?'” Harrelson said, referring to Danson’s former title character Becker on the CBS comedy that ran from 1998 to 2004. “He said, ‘Yeah, I played a lawyer too, so we could sue the guy.'”

Harrelson later joked about Danson’s medical care: “It was weird when he asked me to take off my clothes.”

During their joint podcast appearance, Danson and Harrelson reflected on their long-standing friendship after meeting on the set of Bottom upThe NBC sitcom ran from 1982 to 1993 and won a total of 28 Emmys in its 11 seasons.

Danson recalled that the cast tried to mess with Harrelson when he joined Bottom up during season 4.

“So it wasn’t about bullying him, we just wanted to kick his butt in whatever way we could find,” Danson said. “We started with basketball and as you found out later in life, he’s a really good basketball player, so he kicked our butts there.”

Harrelson beat his fellow actor Johnny Ratzenberger in wrestling, gave Danson a “nasty elbow strike” after defeating him in arm wrestling, and finally “killed” the rest of the cast at chess.

“So all of that really happened in the first week,” Danson said of their failed plans to poke fun at Harrelson. “From then on, if you wanted to pull a terribly mean prank, you didn’t waste it on anybody but Woody. And that’s what he is to this day, that’s Woody Harrelson.”
