Kelsey Grammer recently shared an anecdote about his long-standing relationship with fellow actor Ted Danson. Danson expressed, ?You know, I?m kind of mad at you that sometimes you don?t show up ready to go,? which highlights a moment of tension between the two. This candid remark indicates the level of expectation and professionalism that Danson values in their collaboration.

In a recent interview with the New York Post, Kelsey Grammer delved into the origins of the feud he had with Ted Danson, which traces back to their iconic roles on the beloved sitcom Cheers. Over the course of nearly three decades, their relationship became strained to the point where they barely communicated. Grammer elaborated on the situation, explaining that it was a challenging time for him, filled with self-doubt and personal struggles. This context sheds light on how their paths diverged during those years.

Grammer reflected on the conversation with Danson, clarifying, ?It got a little blown out of proportion,? emphasizing that while Danson’s sentiment was valid, there wasn’t an intense conflict. He admitted, ?There really wasn?t an argument. It was at a time in my life when I was actually going through a lot of self-doubt, self-loathing, honestly. It was when I was drinking a lot.? This honesty reveals the underlying complexities of their relationship and the impact of personal issues on their professional dynamics.

Continuing his reflection, Grammer noted, ?Now, maybe what happened for Ted was he stepped away from what might have been a better friendship. Maybe he just had to protect himself. I don?t really know.? This remark underscores the idea that both actors may have been navigating their own challenges, which ultimately affected their friendship. Despite the rift, Grammer expressed a sense of understanding, acknowledging Danson’s feelings and the circumstances that led to their distance.

Despite the tension, Kelsey Grammer and Ted Danson managed to collaborate on other projects post-Cheers, demonstrating their professionalism. Danson made guest appearances on Grammer’s iconic show Frasier, while Grammer returned the favor on Danson’s Becker. These collaborations indicate a willingness to move past their differences for the sake of their careers and the entertainment industry.

Ted Danson revisited the feud during an episode of the Where Everybody Know Your Name podcast, co-hosted by himself and Woody Harrelson. Danson candidly remarked, ?This isn?t self-deprecating, but it?s ? I feel like I got stuck a little bit with you during the ?Cheers? years. I have a memory of getting angry at you once,? revealing the lingering emotions tied to their past. This acknowledgment from Danson reflects a deeper level of introspection about their friendship and the time lost.

In response, Grammer recalled, ?Yeah, you came and told me that one day,? validating Danson’s feelings and memories. Danson further expressed regret, stating, ?But I feel like, f?k, I don?t know. I missed out on the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer and I feel like it?s my bad, my doing, and I almost feel like apologizing to you ? I apologize to you and me that I sat back, you know, and didn?t ? and I really do apologize.? This moment of vulnerability signifies a critical turning point in their relationship.

Grammer expressed gratitude for Danson?s honesty and lamented that they hadn’t ?spent more time together.? He added, ?My love for you has always been as easy as the day. As easy as the sunrise.? This heartfelt sentiment illustrates the underlying affection that remains between them, despite the years of estrangement and emotional distance.

In recent news, the highly anticipated new series of Frasier on Paramount+ was unfortunately canceled after its second season. However, there are discussions about the possibility of the show being picked up by another network, keeping fans hopeful for the continuation of the beloved franchise.
