Kelsey Grammer sounded curt this morning when he brusquely told a BBC Today program interviewer that he still supports Donald Trump but, according to his interviewer, this curtness doesn’t tell the full story.

Grammer’s interviewer Justin Webb said the Frasier star was “perfectly happy” to go on talking about his support for the former POTUS, “the Paramount+ PR team, less so.”

Grammer has previously expressed support for Trump – a relatively rare position for a TV and movie star to take – and he also used his BBC interview to back Roseanne Barr, another self-confessed Trump supporter.

Kelsey Grammar has always been a bible bashing whack job.

Just go look up his late night interview where he talks about how he randomly opens the bible to answer the question ‘how long will I live for?’ And is satisfied that god answers him by saying he will live to 160 (or some other ridiculous figure I can’t remember).

Seriously he thinks the bible is a magic eight ball and god is guiding what page it turns to.

Don't you mean "bible thumping"? Bible bashing is what I do when I call it horse shit.

Clearly, the writers just followed him around and wrote down what he said whenever they had a Sideshow Bob episode.

I could hardly stand Kelsey Grammer before I found out that he was a magat, now I want to throw stuff at him

[–] [email protected] 35 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The real question you have to ask is why he supports Trump. Greed or hate?

I never liked Cheers or Frasier, but he seemed like an okay actor overall. I mean you wouldn't have Sideshow Bob without him.

That doesn't make him less of a shithead though.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 11 months ago (2 children)

He only mostly supports the insurrection and attempted overthrow of our democracy, so it's cool.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Frasier is so old, Trump is the only way he can maintain an insurrection.

Fuck Kelsey Grammer. I hope his reboot fails miserably.

And I just lost all respect for him, along with any desire to ever see him on screen ever again.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago

Grammer never went full "Kirk Cameron" with his professional career, but he's always been super right-wing, and the guy has some notable bible thumper and anti-abortion flicks on his IMDB page. He's done a decent job of keeping his fringy beliefs out of the press.

Guy who was in multiple pro-us army movies is pro Trump. Shocker of the year here.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Nobody that is pro-US army should support Trump, cause Trump is obviously anti-US army.

His sister was murdered in the most conservative town in Colorado. Maybe conservativism doesn't work Mr. Grammer?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 11 months ago (1 children)

To them conservatism can never fail. It can only be failed, because you didn't conservative hard enough. There is no introspection, no critical thinking. Only doubling down. Because otherwise all the suffering would have been for naught.

I know you're joking, but at the same time I know you're really not.

Republicans do not believe that they do not make mistakes, they merely believe that admitting a mistake would in itself be a mistake

He’s a MAGAt? Pathetic. What an asshole.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

I didn't know that until today. Really disappointing.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago

I had no idea he was such an asshat. I was so excited about him reprising Beast in the MCU's X-Men. Maybe they can get David Hyde Pierce instead.

If the Frasier reboot fails, will he have been cancelled?

If I never watch it, did it ever air?

Anyone can support anyone they like, but it speaks to your character at the very least.

It’s ok. Frazier reboot is unlikely to get renewed. People didn’t watch the original for Kelsey. They watched it for the talented ensemble and skillful writing.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

I watched it for Eddie the Jack Russell terrier

Loved the OG Frasier show. The new one is cringe as hell. Without Niles the show lost like 90% of its charm.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (3 children)

The show might've been named Frasier but Niles and Martin (dad) were absolutely crucial to the dynamic and success the show found. Without them it's missing 2/3rd of the team and is just another sequel churned out by Execs with no idea how to make a good show and only interested in making another dollar.

So the courtroom speach from The Simpsons wasn't acting.
