Ted Danson Apologizes To ‘Cheers’ Costar Kelsey Grammer For 30-Year Feud

Ted Danson, 76, formally apologized to Cheers costar Kelsey Grammer on an episode of his podcast for a longstanding feud the pair have had for over 30 years. 

Grammer, 69, appeared as a guest on an episode of Danson’s Where Everybody Knows Your Name, which he co-hosts with Woody Harrelson. 

While the episode partially served as a Cheers reunion, Danson and Grammer also discussed an argument they once had on set. 

“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,” Danson, who played Sam Malone on the show, told Grammer. 

“Yeah, you came and told me that one day,” Grammer replied. 

“It’s stuck in both of our memories. But I feel like I missed out on the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer, and I feel like it’s my bad, my doing. I almost feel like apologizing to you,” Danson said, adding, “No, I don’t feel like — I apologize to you and me that I sat back, you know, and didn’t. And I really do apologize.”

Thanking his former costar for the apology, Grammer told him, “My love for you has always been as easy as the day, as easy as the sunrise,” while also noting that he wishes they could have “spent more time together.”

Danson led the hit sitcom, with Grammer later joining the cast in its third season. His infamous character, Dr. Frasier Crane, later received his own spinoff series, which was recently brought back on Paramount+.

The actors reflected on the special moments they shared on the show, which ran for over a decade. 

“You can go off in different directions; you can have different lives, but that bond, that love of making something really funny and really good and cracking each other up and going through life and still showing up,” Danson recalled.
