Ted Danson May Have Broken a TV Record With His Latest Sitcom

It’s hard to imagine a time when Ted Danson wasn’t on TV. After all, he spent a whopping 11 seasons playing Sam Malone on Cheers, six years as Dr. John Becker on Becker, and, more recently, took on the part of a 6,000-foot tall tentacled fire demon who's taken on the form of a 6-foot-2 silver fox in The Good Place. 

Not to mention the fact that he regularly popped up on Curb Your Enthusiasm, effortlessly inhabiting what was perhaps his greatest role to date: Ted Danson.

Now Danson has a brand new show coming out: A Man on the Inside. While it may sound like the title of a self-help book written by Tobias Fünke, it’s actually a new Netflix comedy that reteams Danson with The Good Place and Parks and Recreation producer Mike Schur.

This Band Set the Guinness World Record for Loudest Concert Three Separate Times

I found myself curious the other day about what the loudest concert of all time was. The more I thought about it, though, the more it seemed like a strange record to set. After all, in the age of amplification, it’s not like volume is tied to skill. We’re not talking about having an all-time diaphragm capable of honking the hell out of a tuba, but something that feels more reliant on gear, knob-turning and a deep disrespect for the eardrum.
