Kelsey Grammer's PR People Cut BBC Interview Short After He Reiterates His Trump Support

BBC Radio 4's Justin Webb says the 'Frasier' star was willing to say more about his ongoing support for ex-President Donald Trump, but Paramount+'s PR team wouldn't let him.

Actor Kelsey Grammer had an interview with BBC cut short when he doubled down on his support for beleaguered former Republican President Donald Trump.

Grammer rose to fame playing Dr. Frasier Crane, a character introduced in 1984 on the NBC sitcom Cheers and later featured in the spin-off series Frasier, which ran from 1993–2004.


The 68-year-old Emmy winner has reprised the role of the beloved psychiatrist for a 2023 reboot of Frasier.

According to Deadline, BBC Radio 4 journalist Justin Webb said Grammer was “perfectly happy” to elaborate on his support for the twice-impeached former President.

Trump is currently the GOP frontrunner in 2024. He also faces 91 felony charges across four cases, involving allegations of fraud, election interference, and tampering with government documents.

In the interview, Grammer backed fellow Trump voter Roseanne Barr, who had a short-lived comeback before being booted from her own eponymous reboot series in 2018 after she posted a racist tweet.

Webb later asked Grammer:

"You mentioned Roseanne early on who had a great comeback but also was a Trump supporter."
"You were, at least you were, a Trump supporter, I’m fascinated to know if you still are?”

The actor replied:

“I am and I’ll let that be the end of it."

In a rare position for most Hollywood actors to take, Grammer has been vocal about his allegiance to Trump, and he stated that voting for him in 2016 and 2020 had not affected his career.

The PR team for Paramount+ was not interested in hearing more on the matter from the Republican actor, however, and shut down the interview.

“I have to say actually Kelsey Grammer himself was perfectly happy to go on talking about it,” said Webb, per Yahoo UK.

"The Paramount Plus PR people, less happy that he talked about it at some length so we... They decided we'd had plenty of time for our interview."

When a co-presenter joked that Paramount would be "really thrilled" about Webb's question, Webb said:

"But I should stress that he was perfectly happy to talk about why he supports Donald Trump and still does in the forthcoming election."

Some people shared their disappointment in Grammer, while others were not surprised to hear of his political leanings.




Some social media users quickly lost interest in watching Frasier.




The Frasier sequel/reboot takes place with the title character returning to Boston to start a professorship at Harvard University, following the death of his father Martin and the end of his relationship with Charlotte.

The show premiered on October 12, 2023, on Paramount+.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
