The Awardist : The Good Place stars Manny Jacinto and D'Arcy Carden talk Donkey Doug and Ted Danson
Are you worried that Ted Danson isn't as wonderful in real life as he is on screen? Let The Good Place star D'Arcy Carden set your mind at ease: "He is all that you hope he is, and more."
This week on EW's The Awardist podcast, Carden rhapsodizes about her time playing Janet on The Good Place ("In four years, I didn't have a bad day on set"), while her costar Manny Jacinto looks back on some his favorite moments — which, of course, involve Jason's [spoiler] Donkey Doug. The actor reveals which costar he tried hardest to crack up on set, and talks about how stressed out he was about Jason's finale dance number. ("It’s not every day you get to perform some sexy dance moves in front of Ted Danson.")
