Kelsey Grammer and Ted Danson’s 30-Year Feud Revealed

BBG News

Kelsey Grammer recently explained the reason for his longstanding, 30-year conflict with his Cheers co-star, Ted Danson, during a recent podcast interview – a move coming shortly after they initiated reconciliation.

69-year-old Grammer made an appearance on the podcast “Everybody Knows Your Name,” which Danson, also 77, co-hosts with Woody Harrelson, way back in October. They discussed their past differences during this episode.

In a recent podcast, Grammer disclosed the cause of the dispute that previously occurred between him and Danson, which Danson had not initially shared details about, but later apologized for.

In a conversation with the New York Post, I shared that perhaps the situation was given more attention than necessary. To clarify, there was no actual argument taking place.

At a point in my existence, I found myself grappling with an abundance of self-questioning and negative feelings towards myself.

In a straightforward conversation, the celebrity openly discussed the challenges he faced during that period, which appeared central to the disagreement between the two TV comedians.

It was during my heavy drinking period when Ted approached me. He mentioned, “You know, I’ve been a bit upset with you because sometimes you aren’t prepared when we’re supposed to go.” To which I replied, “I understand your feelings,” and that was essentially the end of it.

Perhaps, for Ted, it seems like he moved away from what could have been a stronger bond of friendship… possibly to safeguard himself. Over the years, my feelings towards him have always been filled with warmth and affection. The same goes for Woody. Despite not being as close as Ted and I, Woods and I maintain a level of contact that exceeds our relationship. That connection remains alive – we exchanged emails just last week, demonstrating it’s an ongoing friendship.

In a podcast released in October 2024, they discussed the three-decade-long dispute between them that they had spoken about before.

In a candid moment, I find myself admitting that, during our time together on Cheers, I felt somewhat stagnant and, on one occasion, even lost my temper with you.

Grammer responded, “Yes, that’s correct. You shared that with me at some point, and it’s something we both remember vividly.

However, it seems as though I’ve overlooked the past three decades of Kelsey Grammer’s career, and I can’t help but feel a sense of regret, like it’s my fault. Danon expressed this sentiment further.

He expressed regret, saying something along the lines of, “I wish I could apologize for not acting when I should have… I truly do apologize, both to you and to myself, for remaining idle.

I expressed my gratitude and said, “I deeply regret not having had more opportunities to spend time with you,” before recounting a tale that he often quotes to others.

As I crossed the milestone of turning 40, someone approached me and remarked, “I trust you understand the significance now, at this age of 40, your insights are now valued as worthy of discussion.” This was delivered with a chuckle.

In a simpler and more friendly manner, Danson might have said, “I found that absolutely amazing! It’s something I’ve always admired, and it’s stuck with me. My feelings for you have been constant, just like the sunrise every day. You know, effortlessly beautiful.” And in response, he received a similar sentiment: “Mine as well.

In the original lineup of “Cheers,” Danson portrayed Sam Malone, a past baseball player for the Boston Red Sox, who owned the bar featured in the show.

In the world of television, I found myself joining the cast of “Cheers” as Dr. Frasier Crane during its third season, initially appearing for just six episodes. However, my character’s resonance with viewers was undeniable, and I became a permanent fixture on the show until it concluded in its 11th and final season in 1993.

Additionally, they discussed the special relationship they developed with renowned TV director James Burrows. At one point, he had jokingly advised them, “It doesn’t matter what you all get up to throughout the week, simply make sure you appear on set nights and be amusing.

Grammer stated that during our joint interview, he said something I hadn’t heard him utter before: “You need to have an oar in the water.” He clarified, “As long as everyone is actively participating and rowing, I am content.

Grammer commented, “Indeed, it’s quite logical. We continue to collaborate, and I must say, he’s impressive. Over the past few productions, he’s handled four shows exceptionally well, making our work together truly rewarding.

They also recently reunited during one of many TV reunion segments during the Emmy Awards.
