Danny DeVito exposes wild party scene on 1980s 'Taxi' set: 'Crudité and cocaine'

When the cameras stopped rolling on "Taxi," Danny DeVito and his co-stars apparently shifted into a very different gear.

DeVito recalled cast members and celebrity guests spilling into all-night "ragers" where music blared until sunrise and, as he put it, there was "crudité and cocaine." "But getting back to the parties, those were like ragers," he explained during an appearance on the "All the Smoke" podcast.

"...people would come from like, 'Laverne & Shirley' would come and watch our show.

And Robin Williams would come," he remembered.

"And we had visitors from outside who was a big fan of the show – Michael Jackson would come.

"He would sit up in the booth, not with the audience, sit up in the booth and watch.

Lots of people came.

Belushi, you know, people from ' SNL ' in the early days." DeVito said the celebration kicked into high gear as soon as the night's work was finished.

And immediately go up and blare the music ... until the sun came up," he recalled.

"We had to be to work on Monday at noon," DeVito said.

"That's all we had to care about." DeVito became a household name as the hilariously abrasive Louie De Palma on "Taxi," the hit sitcom that ran from 1978 to 1983.
