Does the intensity of Damages carry over to the set?

This question was posed to Ted Danson, who still appears on Arthur Frobisher on the FX drama.

Here's what the actor told The Washington Post about life on the show's set:

To me, it's a party whenever I go to work. The writing is so wonderfully dark, and everybody's lying to everyone else, that it's funny. It was a very relaxed time for me -- actually, way more relaxing than comedy. Comedy makes me uptight. Because in comedy, everything is not funny until that one thing that is.
