Danson agreed that Harrelsons competitive spirit contributed to a major shift on set.

All the guys were turning 37 and you were like, 24 or 25, he told Harrelson.

So, naturally, they pivoted to pranks.

I have to wait for Woody.

I have to try and f— Woody up, Danson recalled.

It was that kind of energy you brought to the bar.

On his end, Harrelson described his time onCheersas the most idyllic" and “amazing” experience.

I cant imagine a better experience for an actor, period, he said.

It was great, Jimmy, and youre just the greatest leader, papa, to all of us.

Danson added, We were blessed.
