Ted Danson Reveals "Champagne of Arrests" with Jane Fonda

Ted Danson recently revealed that his 2019 arrest with Jane Fonda during a Washington D.C. climate protest was coordinated with the police beforehand. During an appearance on "Dinner's On Me," Danson explained that blocking an intersection, an act for which they were arrested, was pre-arranged. He characterized the arrests as the "champagne of arrests," noting the polite warnings from officers before they were taken into custody.

Fonda, who also discussed her experiences on a podcast, recounted being arrested by U.S. Capitol Police for crowding and obstruction. She detailed spending a night in jail, observing the conditions and the other inmates. Fonda also shared a memory of a previous arrest in 1970, where she faced drug smuggling accusations and experienced rough treatment.
