Danson, a three-time Globes winner, has been a fixture on TV
since he broke out as Boston bartender Sam Malone on NBC’s
comedy “Cheers.” His other credits include “The Good Place,”
“Mr. Mayor,” “Fargo,” “CSI” and “CSI: Cyber,” “Damages” and
“Becker.” Danson currently stars in Netflix's “A Man on the
Inside.”
The Globes' telecast is scheduled for Jan. 5 live on CBS and
streaming on Paramount+. Comedian and actor Nikki Glaser has
been picked to host.
The Carol Burnett Award was inaugurated in 2019 and is presented
to an honoree who has “made outstanding contributions to
television on or off screen.” Past recipients include Norman
Lear, Ryan Murphy and Ellen DeGeneres. The first was Burnett
herself.
“Ted Danson has entertained audiences for decades with his
iconic performances that will forever be ingrained in television
history,” Helen Hoehne, president of the Golden Globes, said in
a statement. “His renowned career is a testament to his
remarkable talent and versatility as an actor and bears
resemblance to the award’s legendary namesake."
Danson's film credits include “Hearts Beat Loud,” “Three Men and
a Baby” and Steven Spielberg’s World War II drama “Saving
Private Ryan.” He is also an environmental activist, co-founding
the American Oceans Campaign.
