Ted Danson Reflects on Curb Your Enthusiasm

Ted Danson revealed that he initially thought 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' 'sucked' after watching its pilot episode with his wife, Mary Steenburgen, who disagreed with him. Despite his skepticism, Danson offered to play himself on the show to support his friend Larry David, which led to his recurring role across 34 episodes during the series' 12-season run. Danson acknowledged that participating in 'Curb' significantly changed his life, reigniting his passion for comedy. He recounted a humorous moment from filming when he discovered that his character was considered a nemesis by David's character, which he found surprising since he never read the scripts. Danson's candid reflections were shared on his podcast 'Where Everybody Knows Your Name' and during an appearance on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers.' The show aired its finale earlier this year, concluding a two-decade legacy.
