Ted Danson Talks To His Wife, Mary Steenburgen | Where Everybody Knows Your Name

[@debrajosephs]

wow. They act like 2 people who never met and have crushes on each other. Their smiles. Laughter. Fantastic....Mary, you are a wonderful human being.

[@kimberlieperry9587]

It is soo wonderful to see a couple still this in love after 30 years. I feel such warmth that i am crying happy tears to hear this and know it exists at least for two people in this world. Great love, great admiration for each other. I feel like I see in these two the personification of what marriage is supposed to feel like. You feel so lucky to have this wonderful person in your life and they feel the same way. Ted and Mary, please start your own podcast and find other couples in and out of show business who share the same connection. We need the inspiration and reminder of what decency looks like.

I love Mary. I am a 38 y/o woman, and I remember being fascinated by her. She is beautiful, but she wasn't one of the “sex symbols” the 90s media seemed to elevate. Now, listening to her, it was clear that she has a gentle way of being in the world but a markedly strong mind and heart. Mary, Murphy Brown, and Julia Sugarbaker from Designing Women. These are the people I modeled my internal world by. I am very southern and the first person to go to college on either side of my family, and my environment was a heavy-handed legalistic religion. It was made very clear that women have a place as the “weaker vessel.” Books and media were my teachers that life could look completely different. Today, I am a social worker, advocating for everyone to belong and have a place in society. If women like Mary had not been present during my formative years, my life would look completely different today. I would not have known I could try a completely different path where I did not have to compromise parts of myself to meet the expectations of my tribe. I am so grateful. And Mary, you aren't liberal because you are no longer in the South. You just feel more comfortable being vocal about it. I live in the heart of the Bible Belt, and I am a liberal progressive. I value those on the fringes of society. That is all.

[@piscesman74]

Thank you

[@DavidMcdonald-df8tb]

Liberal progressives harm a lot of people by forcing their ways on others that isn't good for them.

[@RavenDots115]

Wow they’re so respectful towards each other. What a couple ❤

[@williamdecker3989]

This interview flew by quickly! We need 3 more parts! Love this!

[@Norvo82]

I love how they make it seem like they didn't drive to the studio together... Now *that* is acting!

[@Jibcutter]

Beautiful couple. Great hearing about her background and upbringing in rural America as it is something I share.

[@jobiazgarza9571]

She always seems so likable.

[@eftychi]

I felt so relieved when I heard it was a two part interview. I was thinking to myself that I can listen to Mary’s stories forever and never get bored .

[@milescoleman910]

When I was about 17. I attended the London premiere of Back to the Future 3. Since then, I’ve briefly met many many stars at my work but she was the first one I ever saw. I will always remember Mary walked by about three feet in front of me in some magnificent blue dress and I thought to myself. That has to be the most beautiful woman alive, just how gorgeous she is and how beautiful they manage to make Hollywood starlets look. It’s shocking. All the fashion and make up but also just the way she carried herself so regally.

[@outerspacebass]

Two of my favorite movies of all time are bttf 3 and parenthood. I grew up watching Ted and i never really thought he was that charismatic on screen but I've been enjoying his contribution to team coco and glad he's been such a good guy to the people around him all this time in Hollywood. I have a growing affinity for him now, hearing how good of a husband he is.

[@ryansullivan5575]

bttf 3?

[@smoked_pepper_USA]

Back to the Future 3

[@ryansullivan5575]

Oh Back to the Future III!

[@treborretsnom6186]

Love Mary, a career of amazing works... But i cannot express properly how much i loved her role in step-brothers !!! She made me believe 😅😅😅

[@Gina-c7k]

I loved this. You both addressed very personal and difficult topics with such grace and candor. Mary, you are absolutely luminous. Ted, your sensitivity and compassion are beyond description . Love you both!❤❤❤❤

[@shimi_raikkonen]

I also experienced the early childhood trauma of being taught that if I did something wrong, something bad was going to happen, and in my case, I was going to hell, as well as my friends who didn’t live my religion’s teachings. And how that carved out how I viewed the world and other people. I wish more podcasters would embrace serious conversations, and trust that conversations about real life will provide the occasional laugh.

[@headyrae]

I was in third grade when I got to be an extra on Back To The Future III. Mary had kids the same age as me and my brother. My mom was the Nurse on set. I went to school in a trailer for 3 months, waiting to be called to set. I got to wear a dress that was 100 years old. Even at my young age, I felt the significance of putting on that dress. Mary was the sweetest person on set. She always paid attention to us kiddos. To the extent, she let us take her family to “see our town.” ❤ I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.

[@headyrae]

Thank you for being so kind and thoughtful to me Mary. ❤

[@headyrae]

Also, the way you talk about your Mom and Dad makes me cry. I miss my Dad so much. My Dad was awesome and my only cheerleader. I got into drugs, mental health problems. My Dad never gave up on me. He died a couple years ago and I feel like my only cheerleader is gone.

[@Sbannmarie]

OH sweet Mary! We share this in both of our lives 9:05 stories- our fathers passed away and we the daughters at the time had a feeling it 'was our fault'.

[@easye5653]

Mary's voice is Beautiful, she should do an Audio book. And wow the Beautiful Love that they both have for one another. Ted really said some Delightful things about the Love of his Life. These two seem so Lucky to have each other. God Bless you guys! And wow I didn't know that Jack Nicholson was such a Sweet gentleman. ; ))

[@bromeliad11]

Mary was in my favorite movie 'Cross Creek' she was amazing in that movie.Takes place in a small florida town in the early nineteen hundreds. She played the part of Marjorie Rawlings' author of the Yearling, Cross Creek and more.

[@davidjames1389]

This was charming as hell. Can't wait for the second part.

[@B-Nice]

This was great!! Eagerly awaiting Part 2!!!

[@Paranormal_Almanac]

CANT WAIT FOR PART 2!!!! relationship goals.

[@JackSuccinct]

6:08 That's comforting to know from 0 to 8 years old a daughter can remember, because my daughter from 0 to 8 years old, were the years I spent the most time with her.

[@kpag3030]

I never say things like this, but they are so cute together. Lol.

[@leedsdrumacademy]

She's stunning.

[@stevewebber1583]

Wonderful loving mother stories! People really were like that in some churches, and it is inspiring to be reminded.

[@FrankLiTrenta]

I don't care how old she is...what a BABE!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JefferyEPetrone]

"Melvin & Howard" is a big movie I've been meaning to watch. I recently found a vhs copy of the movie. This interview has further increased my interest in watching that film.

[@XxThatGuyOverTherex1]

The smile Ted had when putting on his headphones ❤ I want to feel love like that some day.

[@DeltaEcho303]

A great couple. The first movie I saw starring Mary was Time After Time, an underrated sci-fi thriller directed by Nicolas Meyer, who went on to direct Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

[@TrumbullComic]

I was about to say this needed to be a two parter. Glad to see you two agreed!

[@Thrifty-Gal]

Love this podcast. This episode was amazing, can’t wait for part 2.

[@annebonner4547]

Loved this interaction and Mary and her stories so much and am excited for part two!!❤❤❤

[@northerngirl1637]

My sister and I used to get the worst/best giggles in church. It's the whole you're not supposed to thing...not to mention that there are simply so many funny things in church!😂

[@Cloxxki]

Ted gets cold shivers (the good way) speaking of his mother in law but resists woowoo?

[@lynntolleson6688]

I HOPED SHE WOULD COME ON!

[@bobbyhelsel1160]

Have always thought she was Terrific. Happy for them both!

[@crossborderinterviews]

This may be my favourite interview of two people ever.

[@bloomart265]

This is so great! We need part 2.

[@baharam98]

What a beautiful couple. All class and wonder. LOVE is in the air.

[@pattie-p2x]

yay!!!! part 2, you guys are so great together. Mary, I hope I meet my "TED" one day. thanks for this, can't wait for part 2

[@davidriemaker]

Please tell me we’re getting part 2 of this interview soon. I’m hooked.

[@monicahenson623]

Very sweet

[@TorToroPorco]

So delightful to hear Mary talking about her past. Ted and Mary are definitely 2 peas from the same pod.

[@lavenderrose786]

This is so cute.....makes me wanna be in love again....with a great husband that adores me like Ted loves Mary.... This podcast is special....thank-you for posting this vid...tuning in from Victoria BC Canada

[@chovue2363]

i just thought they were a couple in curb your enthusiasm. 😂

[@UberNeuman]

Love her. Time After Time lives in my heart.

[@tree3po]

Mary is a rare person who seems to get prettier with age.

[@BrittnBrooklyn]

I loved this so much!!! Can’t wait for Part 2:)

[@letarogers6380]

Absolutely loved this interview!

[@escapetoAtlanticCanada2019]

I’m sure someone else had shared this, but Sarah Crewe is the main character of Little Princess, written by the same author as The Secret Garden. They are excellent ❤

[@craigrichardson5223]

I’m glad I watched this…what a great couple!

[@stephendavis6066]

You know it must have got back to Jack that she would not change her name and that must have really boosted that he knew she was the....one he needed....she was great for Jack ....a small reward for caring about your art and respecting a fellow soul.....

[@daniellavelle2784]

I did a podcast with my gf/wife back in 2009. Did 3 episodes. I wanted to do it, maybe her not so much. It was fun but she had the same reaction Mary did. Ted is really good at hosting Mary. I wanted to make my partner a partner in the podcast. Probably not the best approach for me. I envy this episode. Thank you Conan for creating a space for Ted, Woody and not Mary. She might be hooked to co-host a favorite interview with TD. Because he is a touchdown!

[@outerspacebass]

That really didn't feel like an hour

[@wediehardchannel3733]

So lovelly, Ted Im a big fan from cheers and you, and Im so happy to see you so happy! You peops ROCK! Stunning couple! cong

[@daniellavelle2784]

What a lovely two humans!

[@Fordham1969]

Only a few minutes in but the tone here reminds me a bit of a fairly recent interview of Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau by his longtime wife Jane Pauley, sweet and slightly awkward.

[@inknpaintCW]

Love these stories. Love both of you. XXX

[@rosegarden3686]

This is so sweet and adorable ❤❤❤

[@nat7278]

Adorable from the beginning

[@kmcg6444]

My cousin's wife is a giggler. Several people in her family share the trait. It usually happens in moments of high emotion. Though she has a great sense of humor, when the giggles overtake her, it's more of a stress response.

[@michael-q4s1y]

as expected Mary Steenburgen does not disappoint thank you T Danson

[@treborretsnom6186]

Fantastic again Ted, it's a tough interview to pull off so well. Danson the super interviewer

[@AnthonyBriganceCook]

Lovely pair.

[@michaelz6870]

Wow, kinda blows me away that this is who he was referring to when he'd mention his wife. Had nooooo clue they were married - lucky man, she's amazing! 👌

[@shanebinnell2952]

Many more parts please.

[@ariaaspromised]

i love love love this!!!!!

[@ROYALPRIX]

We need more Mary and Ted!

[@noahsalinas2222]

I absolutely love her story! Can’t wait for part 2. #Chair

[@ryansullivan5575]

It's on the tip of my brain...the movie Mary S was in with Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio....Ohhh, Gilbert Grape!

[@starkolurodon]

y'all are adorable.

[@PretzelLogic]

Must get Malcolm McDowell as. a guest

[@Cloxxki]

I'll raise my glass of water to Jack for this once.

[@mitchhecht9070]

loved that magic pan.

[@mikaelhospes4503]

Thank you : ) that was wonderful!

[@surge208]

How do you not want to marry this person after meeting her?

[@johnsteve2377]

Brilliant!

[@ljbolin8360]

Goin south. Great movie

[@daniellavelle2784]

A funny moment, when Marty said 'Jesus was' a YT ad showed up.

[@TheyCallMeNewb]

I'm of the inclination to carve out a marriage akin to this.

[@Lusciouslysorry]

I think a lot of us would love to “know” her as he does. 😍 But just learning about her life will have to do, I guess

[@Tr25_]

Hi Conan

[@autumnberend828]

Now you 2 should read Mondo Freaks, you know... for old times sake.

[@JMPT]

Nice 🖤

[@jerrymac4961]

Does anyone think Ted Danson and Stewart Copeland are secretly brothers?

[@decencywarrior9598]

Sweet.

[@MrChief101]

Sweetest thing I've heard in a long while: I don't understand any of that but we'll do everything we can to help you.

[@miker.9138]

Is Woody EVER there?

[@BeepsAndBeats]

Catalina wine mixer

[@goopah]

Way to go, Ted. I'd have married her too. 🙂

[@ironclad1609]

Framing being kind and open minded as "liberal bias" is all you need to know about the state of the right wing at this point. Mary seems wonderful.

[@zeruty]

Hey, it's Jack O'Neill's crush

[@odw_99]

I’d convinced myself that these two had broken up, purely because of Curb

[@lierx.agerate8230]

No disrespect but she was my celebrity crush growing up lol

[@aibretty4861]

That is a man enchanted

[@brucekiefner3370]

That kinda hurts, feel like can’t trust that 1

[@ronaldmurray7746]

Wasn't she in the last few episodes of Becker

[@Boogiebot5]

Someone’s awfully quiet back there

[@thedude4672]

Hottest woman in Hollywood. Good job, Ted

[@floki-man]

She only talks to Ted on camera.
