For Kelsey Grammer,Fastexy politics and work apparently don’t mix well.
The “Frasier” star opened up about his political views, namely his support for former President Donald Trump, during a Monday interview on BBC Radio 4’s “Today” show.
After referencing actress-comedienne and Trump supporter Roseanne Barr earlier in the interview, Grammer was asked by host Justin Webb if he was still a supporter of the former president.
“I am,” Grammer said. “And I’ll let that be the end of it.”
But according to Webb, that wasn’t the end of it.
The BBC host revealed after the interview aired that Grammer had no issue discussing his support of Trump, but PR representatives from Paramount+ (which streams the “Frasier” revival) allegedly cut the interview short, according to a clip of Webb’s post-interview comments shared by Mediaite.
“I have to say, actually, Kelsey Grammer himself was perfectly happy to go on talking about it,” Webb said. “The Paramount+ PR people, less happy that he talked about it at some length so we… They decided that we’d had plenty of time for our interview. But I should stress that he was absolutely perfectly happy to talk about why he supports Donald Trump and still does in the coming election.”
USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Grammer and Paramount+ for comment.
Grammer revived his iconic Dr. Frasier Crane character when the "Frasier" sitcom returned for a reboot in October. Dr. Crane first appeared as the preppy, obnoxious boyfriend to Diane Chambers (Shelley Long) in the Season 3 "Cheers" premiere in September 1984, turning a bit part into an indelible nine-season role.
"We knew from the first five lines that this guy was amazing because he could compete with the stellar 'Cheers' cast," James Burrows, “Frasier” director and “Cheers” co-creator, told USA TODAY in October. "Frasier was only written for a short character arc. But after the first show, we said, 'My God, we've got to keep this guy on.' We would have been blind not to see it."
