Getty Ted Danson is opening up about his health. On Wednesday (May 6), the 78-year-old Emmy-winning actor interviewed actress Valerie Bertinelli for his podcast Where Everybody Knows Your Name. During their conversation, Ted revealed that he had a recent health scare that "humbled" him. "I had a bit of a health scare," the Cheers actor said. "I'm totally fine, but it was like, 'Oh, that's real.'" "And it was humbling. Mortality is the real deal, you know. It's not just a rumor. Ted Danson doesn't get a free pass. Love his work, but...," he jokingly added.
