Woody Harrelson got into a motorcycle accident on the way to the Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend podcast, where he was on his way to record an interview with Ted Danson. He collided with a Tesla, but was fortunately wearing a helmet and sustained only a wrist injury. “A tumble is a fair term. I did go over my handlebars,” Harrelson said. “I was honestly and embarrassingly passing this Tesla on the left that I felt was moving a little slow and I didn’t realize he was moving slow because he was taking a left.”

Danson, a former soap opera doctor, tended to his minor injury, causing the interview with Conan to start late. “We’re in the bathroom and I was like, ‘You played a doctor right?’ and Ted said, ‘I also played a lawyer so we can sue the guy,” Harrelson joked. The former Cheers co-stars were on the show to promote their new podcast, Where Everybody Knows Your Name.
