Ted Danson And Daughter Kate Team Up On 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,' April Episode Will Be Pair's First TV Together [PHOTO]

Ted Danson's daughter Kate Danson will guest star in the April 3 episode of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," according to the Hollywood Gossip.

The episode, which has reportedly already been shot, marked the first time Danson has appeared with his daughter on television.

"I was really fortunate to get to work with him on 'CSI,'" Danson's daughter told WENN. "It was so much fun. We never worked together like that. We did a short film together but nothing professional until now, so it was really great going head to head with him."

Danson joined the "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" cast last season, replacing Laurence Fishburne in the show's 12th season.

Kate described the guest role that paired up father and daughter.

"I play a lawyer who knows she's in the right and the CSI team have done something wrong, so I come pretty hard at my dad and dig into him, which was a lot of fun to play," Kate Danson said.

Danson's daughter says she'd love to work with her dad fulltime.

"I'm hoping it will be a recurring character," Kate said.

Last year when CBS announced that Ted Danson was joining the cast of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," Executive Producer Don McGill told Screen Rant why he felt the actor was the perfect choice.

"From the moment we all started talking about the role, it was clear he couldn't be more perfect," McGill said. "Intelligence, wit, warmth, depth of character and emotion, [Ted Danson] brings it all. And now he'll have to bring latex gloves, too."

"You can create a new character on the page, but until the perfect actor comes along and breathes life into it, it's just words," said Executive Producer Carol Mendelsohn. "We're very excited Ted Danson came along."

Danson won two Emmys for his role as former big league pitcher-turned-bartender Sam Malone on "Cheers." The actor was nominated 11 years in a row for the Emmy.

"CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," was just picked up for a 14th season on CBS.

No word on if Danson's new show will also become a place where everyone knows his daughter's name.
