Ted is just fantastic. Such a versatile actor. I feel like he could play any part. Now I want to re-watch Married With Children. 😂

[@NH-7]

Jefferson Darcy! An underrated classic sitcom character 👌

[@Tvandsleep13]

Lets hope The Rich Eisen Show does not get cancelled after this!

[@mayerbasic7004]

Great to see Ted again!

[@bthere100]

McGinley is an underrated actor. He is always good in everything he does. You don't keep getting hired if you don't have something going for you

[@jocosus3]

5:18 I had no idea Mr. McGinley was on a Water Polo scholarship at USC. Fight On!!! ✌✌✌

[@scottsquires4785]

Great stories. Anyone who hasn't watched Shrinkage, do yourself a favour and watch it. It's a really good show.

[@jdmcd3873]

Always enjoy anything McGinley is in

[@Professional-fh1ow]

Ted seems like a great guy. My first movie of his was Revenge of the Nerds back in high school. I liked him in "Redeemed" also.

[@btk1243]

I was pleasantly surprised to see Ted McGinley on Mad Men (Season 6, Episode 4)

[@theresaturnbach610]

Great episode

[@Duck-D-Koi]

His Derek character in Shrinking is hilarious

[@billyhassett2728]

Teds always been great at the roles he’s played.

[@Bobbydawriter]

Well that triggered some great memories of Harvey Lembeck’s class with my old pal, Ted. 44 years?! Insane. Destri

[@tlcp53b49]

Sam Kinison was on one of the early epof Married With Children

[@melvinsmiley5295]

Sam was great. Was so bummed when we lost him.

[@Mbplayerone]

“That’s my pie.” 😂

[@jcman240]

Nerds! Nerds! Nerds!

[@Mullet-ZubazPants]

As far as I'm concerned, Ted McGinley played the protagonist in Revenge of the Nerds

[@ronhemby7656]

I want a tshirt with ‘Booger was no trip to the beach ‘ on it

[@bowiestones1]

In1984 Entertainment Tonight did a segment with Ted about plsying Waterpolo.

[@charleskra]

The ship's photographer............

[@louiehernandez1477]

Was his character named Ace?

[@charleskra]

@@louiehernandez1477 Yup.

[@AustinSportsGuy]

Can’t believe that Rich didn’t ask him about Sports Night!

[@bobbykiriakidis9753]

Ted was considered for a time as an anchor. In the context of that whenever he was brought on to a show it would be canceled soon after.

[@31446963048]

Ted was always the guy you wanted to be. You wanted his qualities.

[@mariemilrod]

D Train is an absolute fkng delight in this series!!! GTF on board

[@thegreatrenaldo7718]

Stan Gable recovered nicely after losing his spot on the Greek Counsel.

[@bradunderwood5684]

Stan Gable!!!

[@No_one_asked_you_what_u_think]

He was great in Joker. Joker 2 not so much.

[@tomandzack]

I guess Roku makes Rich put actors on this show. Sad.....I tune in for sports talk, not promoting shows on Roku apps. We want sports talk, not actor talk.

[@dbus1635]

This still doesn't explain why he married a chicken🐔

[@dwx6618]

AlphaBetas

[@josephf1555]

The Sitcom Killer

[@tomandzack]

Isn't this a sports show?

[@ThomasCourt-c2f]

He played water polo, talked about Ronnie Lott, Anthony Munoz, and Reggie Bush. He was seen with Dick Butkus and Hulk Hogan on this show. Close enough to sports for me to hear Ted’s great stories.

[@tomandzack]

@@ThomasCourt-c2f he was promoting a show. They said nothing to do with sports.

[@VictorDiGiovanni]

Ah, Ted... the patron saint of "Your Show Is About To Be Cancelled."

[@bthere100]

False. When he joined shows like Happy Days and the Love Boat they were near cancellation and if anything he helped extend their run for a few more years.

[@VictorDiGiovanni]

@@bthere100 False. His addition to the show always means that the show is in decline and has begun flailing around and that a major member of the cast has left the show. No one remembers any episode that McGinley is in. None of his episodes are ever considered among a show's canon "good" episodes. The fact that Rich hadn't seen any of the episodes from this season of Shrinking proves that the McGinley effect is in full force. One just instinctively loses interest in a show by knowing McGinley is on it. I think it bears investigating if McGinley was on the Simpsons in the late 90s. It would explain the show's slide into irrelevance.

[@bthere100]

That would be on you then son. Most of my favorite MWC episodes were during the Jefferson D'Arcy era. He was the best actor on Hope and Faith and awesome on Shrinking. Great on the Baxters. Great on stuff like Revenge of the Nerds. Happy Days was past its prime well before McGinley got there and if anything he helped extend its stay and Love Boat the same.

[@metfan4evr]

I thought this was a sports podcast. Not that I think we shouldn't have other interests, just saying.

[@maddogct]

He’s been doing these for a long time.

[@ji8044]

Wow, that's like a D-list celebrity
