Ted Danson apologizes to Kelsey Grammer for missing 30 years of friendship after Cheers
As a devoted fan who has followed these two iconic actors since the golden days of Cheers, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia and relief as Ted Danson and Kelsey Grammer have finally mended their 30-year-old rift. I remember how their characters, Sam Malone and Frasier Crane, made the show so special, and it’s heartwarming to see the actors themselves rekindle their friendship offscreen.
Ted Danson and Kelsey Grammer have begun mending their relationship, which had been strained for over three decades without any direct communication.
76-year-old Danson interviewed 69-year-old Grammer on his podcast “Cheers to Friends,” which he shares hosting duties with Woody Harrelson.
On the podcast, Danson didn’t reveal the details that sparked their disagreement, but he did offer an apology to Grammer instead.
This also comes just months after Grammer’s plans for a sweeping Grand Designs-style makeover of his home was rejected by British officials.
In a non-critical manner, Danson expressed that he felt somewhat hindered working alongside you during the ‘Cheers’ period. He recalls having one instance where he became frustrated with you.

Grammer nodded, saying “Indeed, you shared that story with me at some point, and it’s etched into both our minds.” Danson followed up with, “Exactly so!
‘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,’ Danson added.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, let me express my sincere regret for not taking action sooner. I realize now that I should have been more proactive, and for that, I extend my apologies to both of us.
Grammer gratefully acknowledged his kindness and expressed, “I deeply wished we could have spent a little more time with each other,” prior to recounting a story that Danson had often shared with others.
When I reached the age of forty, you approached me jokingly, implying, “I assume you understand the significance, now that you’re forty, our conversations become more valuable,” remarked Grammer, chuckling.
In response to your statement, I found it incredibly impressive. It’s something that has always resonated with me. Upon reflection, I’ve often repeated it. My feelings for you have been as effortless as a sunrise, and you know this, don’t you? To which you agreed, saying, ‘Mine as well.’
As a seasoned lifestyle connoisseur, I have to share my admiration for an iconic figure from television history – none other than the charming and charismatic Danson, who brought the enigmatic Sam Malone to life on Cheers. Known for his stint as a former Boston Red Sox pitcher, this captivating character was the brains behind the beloved bar that graced Beantown.
Grammer wasn’t introduced into the series until its third season, playing the character of psychiatrist Frasier Crane initially for only six episodes. However, his performance proved so impressive that he became a regular cast member, remaining a significant part of the show from its third season all the way through to its 11th and final season in 1993.





In addition, they discussed their relationship with renowned TV director James Burrows, who previously advised them, “I don’t mind your eccentricities throughout the week; simply make sure to appear for the shoot and be amusing.
In a joint interview, he shared something new with me: “It’s essential to have your oar in the water.” He elaborated, “So long as everyone is actively participating and rowing, I am content.
As I pondered, “Indeed, that’s quite logical,” our collaboration continues to thrive. To be honest, he’s recently directed four shows, and collaborating with him has been an absolute pleasure. I’m referring to the legendary 83-year-old TV director.
They also recently reunited during one of many TV reunion segments during the Emmy Awards.
