LISTEN: BBC Host Says Kelsey Grammer Interview Was Cut Short After ‘Frasier’ Star Said He Supports Trump

Fraiser actor Kelsey Grammer reaffirmed his support for former President Donald Trump in an interview with BBC Radio 4’s Today show, only for Paramount’s public relations team to apparently cut the conversation short.

The interview on Monday, which also touched upon Grammer’s personal tragedies and his professional connections, saw the actor acknowledging comedian Roseanne Barr’s influence on the Frasier reboot. Barr is a vocal supporter of Trump, which led interviewer Justin Webb to ask Grammer about whether he was still a supporter for the former president.

Grammer said: “I am, and I’ll let that be the end of it.”

With this comment, the Paramount PR team abruptly ended the interview.

For the benefit of confused listeners Webb clarified who was to blame for Grammer being cut off, underlining that the 68-year-old actor seemed willing to continue the discussion.

“I have to say, actually, Kelsey Grammer himself was perfectly happy to go on talking about it,” Webb said. “The Paramount+ 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.”

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

Grammer, who has been open about being a Republican Party voter, had previously expressed his approval of Trump. The actor recently reprised his role as Dr. Frasier Crane in a Paramount+ reboot of the NBC sitcom which ran between 1993 and 2004.
