Ted Danson Apologizes to ‘Cheers’ Co-Star for 30-Year Silence

“I feel like it’s my bad, my doing,” Danson said.

Ted Danson is making amends with fellow Cheers co-star Kelsey Grammer after an argument three decades ago left their relationship strained. On the latest episode of Danson’s podcast, which featured Grammer as a special guest, the actor who played bartender Sam Malone took accountability for the rift that drove the two apart while they were both on the beloved sitcom, from 1984 to 1993. Danson, without going into details, recalled “getting angry” at Grammer on one occasion. “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 said. “I apologize to you. And [to] me that I sat back… I really do apologize.” Grammer thanked Danson for his apology and said, “My love for you has always been as easy as the day… as easy as the sunrise.” Grammer, whose character Frasier Crane was introduced in Cheers’ third season, also starred in the show’s hit spin-off, Frasier—which was rebooted for two seasons in 2023. Grammer has faced criticism for his political support of former President Donald Trump, the current GOP nominee.
