Ted Danson & Kelsey Grammer Settle 30-Year ‘Cheers’ Dispute: “Stuck In Both Of Our Memories”
After more than three decades, Ted Danson and Kelsey Grammer are putting the past behind them.
The Cheers co-stars recently had a heart-to-heart as Danson publicly apologized about an unspecified argument they had on the set of the NBC sitcom, which ran for 11 seasons from 1982 to 1993.

“I feel like I got stuck a little bit with you during the Cheers years. I have a memory of getting angry at you once,” Danson told Grammer on his Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast, co-hosted by Danson and Woody Harrelson.
Grammer recalled, “Yeah, you came and told me that one day.”
“It’s stuck in both of our memories,” noted Danson. “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. I apologize to you. And [to] me that I sat back… I really do apologize.”
Grammer said he also wishes they “spent some more time together” over the years, adding: “My love for you has always been as easy as the day. As easy as the sunrise.”
Danson starred as bartender/owner Sam Malone for the entirety of Cheers‘ run, with Grammer joining the cast in Season 3 in 1984 as therapist Frasier Crane.
Grammer went on to lead his own spin-off Frasier, which ran for 11 seasons on NBC from 1993 to 2004 before returning for the Paramount+ revival, currently in its second season after debuting last year.
