Tom Selleck in Conversation with Ted Danson, Tuesday, May 19, 2026 7:30PM

Presented by Live Talks Productions |  https://livetalksla.org/

In his memoir You Never Know, Tom Selleck—star of the iconic Magnum P.I. and long-running Blue Bloods—traces his remarkable journey from the University of Southern California’s business school and basketball court to becoming one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors. Along the way he recounts his co-star turn with Mae West and his fan-favorite recurring role as Monica’s boyfriend on Friends.

 

Selleck clears up a lifetime of misconceptions and shares dozens of never-told stories from every corner of his personal and professional life. He reflects on what it meant to emerge as a mega-star in his mid-thirties—and on the deliberate choices he made to protect his family’s privacy and sense of normalcy amid the glare of celebrity.

 

With charm, talent, and self-deprecating humor, Selleck reveals himself as someone who reached incredible heights by always insisting on being himself. His journey offers a fresh perspective on a changing industry and a changing world.

 

In conversation with Selleck is Ted Danson, Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award-winning actor best known for his iconic portrayal of Boston bartender Sam Malone on NBC’s beloved comedy Cheers. More recently Danson has delighted audiences playing himself in Curb Your Enthusiasm and starring in the acclaimed NBC comedies The Good Place and A Man on the Inside. His film credits include Three Men and a Baby—alongside Selleck—and Saving Private Ryan. Off screen, Danson is a passionate environmental activist who co-founded the American Oceans Campaign in 1987 to raise awareness about oil spills, offshore development, toxic waste, and other threats to the world’s oceans.
