Ted Danson Reflects on Initial Skepticism of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'

The actor admitted he thought the pilot 'sucked' but later credited the show with reinvigorating his comedic passion.

Ted Danson revealed on his podcast that he initially disliked the pilot of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' calling it 'absolutely sucked.'
Danson and his wife, Mary Steenburgen, joined the show early on, playing fictionalized versions of themselves after offering to help Larry David as a gesture of support.
Over 12 seasons, Danson appeared in 34 episodes and credited the show with revitalizing his love for comedy.
The unscripted HBO series, created by Larry David, aired its final season earlier this year after a 24-year run.
Danson shared humorous anecdotes about his time on set, including discovering his character was meant to be despised by Larry David's character.
