Ted Danson Says Cast Wanted to Kick Woody Harrelson’s ‘Ass’ On ‘Cheers’ Set

Woody Harrelson became public enemy number one when he walked onto the “Cheers” set, and everyone wanted to “kick his ass” … so says the show’s star, Ted Danson.

Ted Danson reveals the 'Cheers' cast targeted Woody Harrelson: 'We wanted to kick his ass'

Ted and Woody sat down for an interview on the “Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend Podcast” to discuss “Cheers” … and, they dove into Woody joining the show during season 4 as the new bartender — also named Woody.
