Oscar-winning actress Mary Steenburgen joins Obsessed to talk about her charming new Apple TV+ comedy The Dink, how she almost got fired for laughing too much at Will Ferrell in Elf, the improv magic behind Step Brothers and Curb Your Enthusiasm, and how Larry David caused even close friends to believe she and Ted Danson had split. Steenburgen also opens up about falling in love with Danson, working together decades later on A Man on the Inside, her thoughts on his conversation with W. Kamau Bell about the 1993 Friars Club controversy, and the career lessons she's learned from a lifetime in Hollywood.
