Curb Your Enthusiasm, and has said he thought some early episodes of the show “absolutely sucked”.On his podcast, Where Everybody Knows Your Name, Danson opened up about how he came to join the long-running comedy series, which came to an end earlier this year.“We watched the pilot of Curb, Mary [Steenburgen] and I.

Mary thought it was great. I thought it sucked,” he said. “I thought it absolutely sucked. And I felt sorry for my new friend, Larry David.

So in trying to be encouraging kind of thing, I said, ‘You know, if you ever need us to play ourselves, we’d be happy to.’”He added: “And in that sort of idiocy, you know, yeah, I ended up being part of something that changed my life,” adding that “it reinvigorated my desire to be funny” (via The Hollywood Reporter).On the show, Danson played a fictionalised version of himself who often finds himself at loggerheads with Larry David’s character on the show.

In season nine, Danson starts to date Cheryl Hines after she separates from David’s character in the show. Danson and Hines’ characters eventually get married in the show.Danson went on to appear in every season of the show except two and eight.Back in April, Curb Your Enthusiasm aired what fans described as a “perfect” finale.
