Why Dick Van Dyke is Ted Danson's hero

by Robinder Uppal

Ted Danson watched "The Dick Van Dyke Show" on his first television set, and found that Van Dyke was a performer you wanted to spend time with. "He gave people a laugh, he uplifted people, and he did it in such an elegant, funny, extraordinary way," said Danson. The post Why Dick Van Dyke is Ted Danson's hero appeared first on American Masters.
