PHILADELPHIA - May 16, 2019 - EntSun -- Wizard World Philadelphia will be "where everybody knows your name" on Sunday, June 16, when the great Ted Danson, who starred as "Sam Malone" in the iconic series "Cheers" and is now in the fourth season in the lead role of "Michael" in the acclaimed NBC series "The Good Place" makes his first pop culture convention appearance at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Center City Philadelphia. Danson, a Golden Globe- and Emmy Award-winning actor known for an array of exceptional performances, will greet fans, sign autographs, pose for photo ops and conduct a Q&A panel during a busy day.
