Ted Danson's Skepticism of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' Turned Into a Life-Changing Role

Ted Danson initially joined 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' as a favor to his friend Larry David, despite not being a fan of the show's pilot. This decision unexpectedly revitalized his passion for comedy and led to a significant role on the series, where he played a fictionalized version of himself. Danson's involvement in the show, which he initially thought "sucked," ended up being a pivotal and life-changing experience, as he appeared in nearly every season and became a key character in the series' narrative.
