Ted Danson feels a bit strange about interviewing his TV “boss,” showrunner and writer Mike Schur. Of course, you know Mike as the creator of The Good Place and co-creator of shows like Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Mike talks to Ted about pitching The Good Place, how Ted’s role on the show took shape, why Cheers was the first show he cared about, landing his dream job at SNL at 22, and much more.

Ted and Mike have teamed up again on a new Netflix comedy series, “A Man on the Inside.” All eight episodes are streaming now:  https://www.netflix.com/title/81677257
