Cheers stars Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson are reuniting for a new podcast and are bringing along a number of their friends.
The pair are to launch Where Everybody Knows Your Name for SiriusXM on June 12.
The series, which has been in development for some time, will feature guests including Eric Andre, Will Arnett, Kristen Bell, Laura Dern, Jane Fonda, Simu Liu, Megan Mullally, Conan O’Brien, Nick Offerman, Martin Short and Mary Steenburgen.
Some 30 years after the end of Cheers, the pair will reminisce about their time on the sitcom as well as speak with other celebrities about their lives.
The series is produced by Team Coco with Nick Liao, Adam Sachs, Jeff Ross, and Colin Anderson as exec producers. Harrelson will be involved original music alongside Steenburgen, Antony Genn and John Osborne.

“Though I’ve always dreaded small talk at a cocktail party, I’ve found that it is a genuine privilege to sit down with someone for a deep, uninterrupted conversation. With this podcast, we’ll do just that,” said Danson. “And that I get to do it with Woody, my dear friend of many decades, is the cherry on top of the sundae. Each week, we’ll reflect on our own friendship and careers, and get to the core of the special guests who join us. I can’t wait for you to listen.”
“The best part about doing this podcast is that it’s given me an excuse to hang out with Ted,” added Harrelson. “Sure, we’ll talk with interesting guests, and sure we’ll share some laughs along the way, but the biggest win will be rekindling our romance, I mean friendship, after all this time. And I’m glad listeners will be able to join us for that.”
“Throughout their storied careers, Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson have shown the world that their skill sets extend well beyond any one medium,” added Adam Sachs, SVP of Podcast Content at SiriusXM. “With the launch of Where Everybody Knows Your Name, fans will get to experience a whole new side of these incredible talents through candid, insightful, and always funny conversations with some of today’s most interesting and accomplished people. We couldn’t be any more excited to welcome them to the SiriusXM family, and look forward to sharing what they have in store.”

There are some on the goodwill website right now.
When does the celebrity friend podcast train end? We get it – you famous actors all have SO many famous, exciting friends who have fun stories – but they’re all the same friends! Will Arnett is even mentioned here. These just feel like famous people cashing in on product endorsements to get on the revolving story-train to swap the same stories. When does the Smartless, Conan Needs a Friend template end?
Ok, you can shut up now with your negativity. Does them producing a podcast affect your life in any way? Are you being tied to a chair & forced to listen? Geez, get a life already & let people do what they want.
