Danson’s wife, Mary Steenburgen, presented the award, praising his ability to connect with audiences through his roles in “Cheers,” “The Good Place,” and other shows. In his acceptance speech, Danson expressed his gratitude and admiration for Burnett.
The Carol Burnett Award recognizes individuals who have made a significant impact on the television industry. Danson joins the ranks of Burnett herself, Ellen DeGeneres, Norman Lear, and Ryan Murphy as recipients of this prestigious honor.
Danson has won three Golden Globes in the past and has been nominated 13 times. This year, he received a nomination for his role in “A Man on the Inside.”
