Ted Danson Reveals ‘Cheers’ Cast’s Competitive Streak with Woody Harrelson

Have you ever wondered what went on behind the scenes of the iconic sitcom Cheers? Ted Danson recently shared some juicy details about the competitive nature of the cast when Woody Harrelson joined the crew. Harrelson, who played Woody Boyd on the show, was significantly younger than his fellow cast members, which sparked some intense competition. Danson revealed that the older cast members, including himself as Sam Malone, were so eager to assert their dominance that they challenged Harrelson to various physical competitions. From basketball to arm wrestling to chess, the cast did not hold back in trying to one-up each other. Danson even mentioned a memorable scene where John Ratzenberger, who played Cliff, attempted leg wrestling with Harrelson, only to be bested by the young actor’s strength. It seems that the competitive spirit on the set of Cheers extended far beyond the bar, creating a dynamic that fueled some memorable moments both on and off screen. Cheers to the cast for keeping things interesting behind the scenes!
