Ted Danson admits that when Woody Harrelson joined the cast of 'Cheers' in season 4, the older costars 'wanted to kick his ass,' but he kept besting them instead.
Harrelson, who played Woody on the beloved sitcom, was younger than his costars when he joined in the fourth season., four decades after the sitcom premiered, that it's easy to forget that his character didn't make his first appearance until the fourth season.that Harrelson's first week on the set was a physical challenge for the veterans of the series. Many of them were in their 30s, while Harrelson was just 24, which triggered a strange reaction.
"Thirty-seven is when you realize you're no longer 25 or 24," Danson says in the preview clip below, which contains strong language. "So it was more not like hazing him, we just wanted to kick his ass in anything we could find. We started with basketball and as you later found out in life, he's a really good basketball player, so he kicked our asses there.
"F--- this, sorry, to heck with this physical stuff, we're gonna beat him mentally," Danson says the cast thought, but they soon realized they were wrong. "Killed us at chess. So this is all in the first week really. So from then on it was like, if you had some awful mean prank to pull, you would not waste it on anyone else except Woody. And he is, to this day, that's Woody Harrelson.
