Ted Danson Apologizes to Kelsey Grammer for Argument During ‘Cheers’ Years

Ted Danson recently apologized to Kelsey Grammer for a decades-old argument they had while working together on “Cheers.”

On the Oct. 23 episode of the “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” podcast, co-hosted by Danson and Woody Harrelson, Grammer and Danson reminisced about their time together on the hit NBC sitcom and discussed what their relationship was like off-camera.

“I feel like I got stuck a little bit with you during the ‘Cheers’ years,” Danson told Grammer. “I have a memory of getting angry at you once.”

“Yeah, you came and told me that one day,” Grammer chimed in. The former “Cheers” co-stars didn’t reveal any specifics about the dispute.

“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,” Danson admitted, “and I almost feel like apologizing to you.”

He continued, “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.”

Grammer thanked Danson for the apology and said he, too, wishes they had “spent some more time together.”

“My love for you has always been as easy as the day,” Grammer said. “As easy as the sunrise.”

Danson played Sam Malone during the sitcom’s 11-season run from 1982 to 1993, while Grammer appeared as Dr. Frasier Crane between 1984 and 1993. The “Cheers” cast also included Harrelson, Rhea Pearlman, Shelley Long and John Ratzenberger.

After “Cheers” ended, Grammer reprised his role in the spinoff series “Frasier,” which ran from 1993 to 2004, and the revival series of the same name on Paramount+. The “Frasier” revival’s second season was released in September.
