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.
if you support Trump, you’re a traitor
And a gullible fucking moron. But mainly a traitor.
Personally I voted Osama bin Laden in the primaries. At least the fucker never lied to me about his agenda.
He seems to have calmed down lately as well.
Even better, he’s a moderate centrist! What’s not to like, or dislike!
Jokingly votes for an actual terrorist, wasting their vote – calls people traitors. What a Lemmy moment.
You do realize I didn’t actually vote for a dead terrorist, right?
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.
“God, what awaits me today?”

“oh.”
Don’t you mean “bible thumping”? Bible bashing is what I do when I call it horse shit.
Not OP, but where I’m from (NZ), bible bashers are what we call overly religious nuts who have to shoehorn god/bible into everything.
Ok but like… I just realized there’s nothing stopping me from using random books like this and it seems kinda fun

I seem to remember that you’re fairly explicitly not supposed to use it like that. Because it’s akin to fortune telling or something which is supposed to be bad under the Bible, a broken clock and all that.
No it is totally valid, people use fortune cookies the same way, if you look for these synchronicities you can have some weird predictions of the future or get a general Vibe for the way things are going. You aren’t supposed to take it too literally though.
Well I mean it’s all somewhat arbitrary but technically, according to the Bible itself, no you’re not supposed to use it like that.
“Kelsey! Stop telling people the truth about yourself! Paramount+ is hemorrhaging money!”
When wasn’t it?
Paramount Plus is so desperate to keep me as a customer that they keep giving me free months of service, without advertising. I just threaten to end my subscription and they’re all like, “Augh! Please come back! Look, you can have two more months on us… just don’t go!”
There’s nothing quite as pathetic as a massive corporation in tears begging you for your money.
Have some fucking decency, you tried to rip me off every way from here to Saturn for decades, now you come begging for handouts? Maybe cut down on avocado toast and get a second job.
I knew a guy who kept getting bribed with free DVDs by AOL
I don’t know, but they’re worried about it now and they were okay with it when they started.

Clearly, the writers just followed him around and wrote down what he said whenever they had a Sideshow Bob episode.
Probably yes.
The real mystery is how did they get Kevin Sorbo to play Hercules, I mean surely a religious fanatic like him is horrified knowing that he played a pagan God
Because christians never really stopped worshipping that golden calf. They all went along with Moses because he got super pissed, but behind his back they were all “that golden calf though…”
Indeed, I’m not a Christian but I have a close Catholic friend of mine, and although I no longer believe in supernatural, I wish I did but can only Chase rainbows so long until you realize there’s no gold, but one thing we definitely see eye to eye on is that we want to kick anyone who preaches Prosperity Gospel in the goddamn teeth, and then the dick, and then the teeth again, and then kick their ass until their head falls off then kick the head and then kick the ass again because I don’t think it’s learned it’s lesson
Amen
This is disappointing to hear
I could hardly stand Kelsey Grammer before I found out that he was a magat, now I want to throw stuff at him
The real question you have to ask is why he supports Trump. Greed or hate?
¿Por que no los dos?
Inclusiva o
Why not both?
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.
He only mostly supports the insurrection and attempted overthrow of our democracy, so it’s cool.
Frasier is so old, Trump is the only way he can maintain an insurrection.
Hi-oooooooo
They mostly insurrect at night. Mostly.
Fuck Kelsey Grammer. I hope his reboot fails miserably.
I’ve not heard good things. I did like the original, so I checked out the reviews on the reboot to see if I needed to put it in the queue. The reviews left me thinking it was better off missed and this information just seals it.
They basically turned Freddy into Martin so they could rehash all the jokes from the original and throw all Frasier’s character development coming to terms with his dad’s flair out the window.
And it feels like they became very self aware of that because the episodes I saw most recently are trying to reframe it as Frasier just having firefighter family’s anxiety and also resenting the popification of his psych show, but specifically in a way that mocks women who watch daytime television for being a demographic TV producers would cater a show to if it aired during the daytime television time slots.
It’s not very good and I say that as someone who likes the original series a lot.
And I just lost all respect for him, along with any desire to ever see him on screen ever again.
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.
I disagree with his stand but think it doesn’t make sense to cut him off. Let him explain it, let him dig his own hole, let the ideas be questioned. It’s the BBC not Fox.
They’re not calling for him to be “cancelled”. They’re just not going to view his stuff anymore. Any individual doesn’t need a reason to stop doing something they’ve engaged in willingly. Unless you didn’t mean to reply to the comment you did.

Guy who was in multiple pro-us army movies is pro Trump. Shocker of the year here.
Nobody that is pro-US army should support Trump, cause Trump is obviously anti-US army.
Nobody that is pro-US should support Trump, cause Trump is obviously anti-US.
Nobody should support Trump.
HEY! Don’t lump us people who hate the US with Trump voters, that’s fucked up
But I hate America and its storm troopers.
I don’t think Trump is going to help. He’s a fascist, not a saboteur.
I mean, he will sabotage the United States government, just in a way that’s detrimental for most of its citizens.
And probably everyone else in the world as well because no matter how annoying US international policy tends to be a version that supports fascism is even worse.
His sister was murdered in the most conservative town in Colorado. Maybe conservativism doesn’t work Mr. Grammer?
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
But they never take it to the next logical step I’ve noticed. They do dumb things all the time, but then what they don’t seem to do is preemptively work out if the thing that they’re going to do is dumb or not, and then if it is dumb not do it. It’s like they don’t have a strategist.
I think it’s a problem with the right wing groups in general. They’re so completely blinded by self-belief that reality doesn’t get a look in.
Look at Trump right now, he cannot possibly think things are going well for him, but there he goes carrying on.
I’m just baffled that his defense team seems to have the strategy of directly antagonizing law enforcement. In no world does,
" go ahead, take me to jail, you’re too much of a pussy, I bet you won’t do it."
Ever actually play out, it’s either amazing 7D chess, or the more realistic option. He legitimately thinks he is invincible and nothing he ever does will have any consequences
I have no clue of the backstory. Are those two things related at all?
He’s a MAGAt? Pathetic. What an asshole.
I didn’t know that until today. Really disappointing.
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?
No, but he’ll be complaining like that was the only cause.
That will definitely be blamed. Easily.
Anyone can support anyone they like, but it speaks to your character at the very least.
Dude literally led an insurrection to overthrow democracy, wake the fuck up with this nonsense?
His 18-year old sister was murdered by an african-american serial killer in 1975. Perhaps that did something for his political position.
Still a bit weird to be pro-Trump after his attempted insurrection. But that’s tribalism for you.
