Kristen Bell, Ted Danson On ‘The Good Place,’ ‘Cheers,’ Bell’s Depression Battle | TODAY

[@rosa3768]

Ted danson still looks soo good for his age. He aged like a fine wine.

[@sternxsaturn]

Yes he did, detective diaz

[@Ricardo5911jakakak]

I think it's because of his perfect hair?

[@jcksparrowfan]

The father-daughter chemistry-dynamic they got going is exactly why Michael and Eleanor are my favourite characters.

[@farinatasmia9134]

Same its so adorable 😭

[@Sarazxo]

YA BASIC

[@maybeaoife1500]

Sara. zxo you're devasted

[@athenad.1774]

It's a human insult, it's devastating

[@rainetam_1710]

you're devastated right now

[@danielr3522]

I don't think that'll ever stop being funny to me, especially the way Kristen Bell says it XD

[@maxim4914]

I refuse to believe Ted is 72

[@neida8795]

"It's not a priority to me what other people think. It's a priority to me to reach people who might be struggle with some of the similar issues that I've struggled with" WOW! What a beautiful human being Kristen Bell is❤️

[@jcksparrowfan]

Michael and Eleanor only feasts on my evergrowing love for father/daughter relationships in media. I'm sick of romance and love triangles, more of this please!

[@amarakeizer-quintanilla9761]

Ted Danson: No, Cheers is old. You're old. Me, a teenager who loves Cheers: *sobs*

[@taylortanner6778]

Amara Elizabeth hey, im a teenager and watching cheers for the first time - i absolutely love it too! Lets sob together😂

[@camilasantaella7784]

omg samee 😭😭 And Carla, Cliff, Norm, Woody, Diane, Rebecca, Frasier, Lilith, COACH (😭😭may he r.i.p), and Eddie. :c

[@phoebeclark4718]

I love that Ted's looking at Kristen like he's a proud dad

[@elizabethtrainer9732]

Best show to come along in a VERY long time! Fresh, new ideas, great writing and super fun!

[@marycannon2943]

This is the funniest 😂 I watched the whole first season in one day!!!!!

[@KainyStyle]

Same, best show ever!

[@DudeJJJMovies]

Same here too!!

[@fredxvenessa]

Same love it

[@ComicKish]

Sad but I did too it was good

[@AddeChan]

Same here! Literally couldn't stop. It's so good.

[@Taooflu]

They have very good on screen chemistry. I grew up with Cheers and I have to say this new role fits him perfectly now.

[@loislovescheese4776]

THEY'RE IN HER ROOM OMMMGG

[@applesheep8172]

I always find stuff like this strange, I know those faces as Michael and Eleanor, but they are acting completely different

[@caraliu3660]

Great coverage! They cover a lot of ground in these short minutes

[@meganlam7187]

Ted Danson putting his hand on Kristen’s back and Kristen sitting cross legged is beautiful

[@lifeofanunorganisedqueen731]

I have literally watched the good place season 1&2 about 1 million times with no exaggeration

[@clue104]

I already know they'll have another season.

[@Principessa1046]

I ship Eleanor/Michael so much.

[@rosa3768]

Wtf Michael is like a father figure to Eleanor. Don't make it weird lol

[@vinylstynyl]

No, no, no. You ship Eleanor and CHIDI.

[@Terry-wo4up]

yES #hellstrop

[@user-en2hu6wp7p]

n o

[@iriscandy6377]

Me too!! I love Eleanor x Michael

[@charletonzimmerman4205]

Finally! I'll watch this show! This is real comedy! To laugh about life! I have 1- thing about today ,PC! "Lighten -UP!

[@lauran.carvalho]

eu amo ted danson!

[@heidiclaes166]

I love this show!

[@uzielperez5744]

Love the show!

[@chrisjericho7123]

OMG, how i wish that even as a dream, Frasier would walk back into cheers. Maybe Robot chicken will do a cheers skit where they get the majority of the actors back in to do the voices (did they do that already?).

[@giordanotirelli6028]

Happy birthday ted from italian boy live in rome

[@bcole1637]

ted is sitting mad close to kristen, its cute though..almost as if he got a little crush on her and if so then who can blame him

[@vivianacavazos6673]

bobby cole I think he does this as the nice guy he is. More like a father figure

[@bcole1637]

Viviana Cavazos yea, your probably right

[@LOLLYPOPPE]

Viviana Cavazos lol

[@anthonyalger1994]

Yes, I've seen the previews....

[@lydiastyles9505]

For exp since she started talking about it Ive been so hopefull not feeling like iam the only one of my kind but that I can help myself if I want to.

[@tarushinarang651]

Why do we forget that Ted was in Becker too. Every interviewer only ask about Cheers.

[@thisisprettymuchit7220]

Cheers is my fav show im watching it on Netflix, ill bet it was better when it first came out tho

[@camilasantaella7784]

Who else here watches "Cheers"? I do and I'm 12 lmao.

[@camilasantaella7784]

Dhruv Sharma hunny you being born wasn’t an accomplishment-

[@rexiiforsure9558]

Ted goes way back. Now on an equally important note, where are my footlong hotdogs

[@minheekim9515]

굿플 내 인생작 ㅠ ❤️

[@zenithquasar9623]

[@emmanuelgraves7636]

Finally behind the scenes "for the first time in forever" LOL!!😬😬😬

[@vincentadultman8527]

*Cheers* #NeverForget

[@DLSacks]

Billy Bush! Days before the fall. Pour one out.

[@brandocommando2577]

❤️❤️

[@tetsmcgee]

Janet is great

[@avalynch8042]

where is season 3!? IT SAYS “TO BE CONTINUED” BUT IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS XD

[@armondo22]

Seems like the same premise as the old Albert Broooks movie Defending Your Life

[@hectorarias2196]

jk

[@mickeye6428]

Pretty much. It's a good premise.

[@foxlikessapphics]

Actually, all of these concepts (another example is the season 11 finale of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) originate from a play called "No Exit" by Jean-Paul Sartre. There's an old film based on the play as well.

[@Forsythia17x]

Thomas Jennings what a wonderful movie!

[@snowpearl5908]

Why does Ted reminds me of Anderson Cooper

[@johnwest194]

a show about nothing should be a hit

[@ptulip]

I love these two I just don't know if the premise of the show is sustainable.

[@HovaNirvana]

Beth Spiroff After the season finale, I'm literally chomping at the bit for the second season. Storytelling possibilities blown wide open.

[@jasons7844]

Beth Spiroff That fanalé twist was soooooooo good. I kind of thought the show was funny. But now the concept is so much better. I even want to rewatch this season to see if there were clues

[@HovaNirvana]

jason schuhknecht There are. The season is LITTERED with them. There are a couple of huge ones in the pilot. Pantheon season of television.

[@redakdal]

jason schuhknecht it was I hate it and love it at the same time The question is did Ted and Kirsten know about the twist? for a 30 minute show, it was great

[@HovaNirvana]

redakdal According to them, they did.

[@christianfinkbeiner684]

Shortly before Billy Bush's world exploded.

[@Wolfsbane909]

i like the white haired look, it's like as if his character had white hair from the stress like obama when he was in office.

[@ubermensch826]

dont talk to billy bush about dangerous sexuality

[@justaguywhowatchesyoutube5588]

Ted is unrezigizeable today

[@willhaigh5469]

How high were you when you wrote this bro?

[@lovelyxskinny]

does she have lazy eyes?

[@gwenhughes8650]

Yes, she has a lazy eye.

[@trisix99]

She’s freaking beautiful

[@a.i.privilege1233]

No thanks. If Kristen wrote this it would be all women. Not joking.

[@nuran6392]

It would be better!!!
