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.”The Toronto Sun has reached out to Paramount+ for a response to the alleged incident.In a recent interview with Postmedia, Grammer spoke about his decision to revive Dr. Fraiser Crane nearly 20 years after he went off the air on NBC.“I think the world needs a laugh. People are in the mood to laugh at themselves,” Grammer said. “People want to be able to laugh a little bit and just sit back and enjoy yourselves and think, ‘Oh, television is a wonderful place to spend a little bit of time and drop some of this other stuff for a while.’”Advertisement 4This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Article content Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) and Freddy (Jack Cutmore-Scott) in a scene from Frasier.

Some of that comes from me because I genuinely like people. I like examining the human experience. Our lives, our time together on the planet. I love people and that love is imbued in him. That fondness is part of the show. He’s in it with his whole heart and that’s why he’s fun to play.”Frasier is streaming now on Paramount+.mdaniell@postmedia.comX: @markhdaniellRecommended from Editorial Don’t call Kelsey Grammer’s new ‘Frasier’ series a reboot: ‘This is a further journey’ ‘Cheers’ star George Wendt on a reboot: ‘It’s inevitable’ Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson sorry for mispronouncing Toronto in new Netflix movie Article contentShare this article in your social network
