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.

Ok some actor has an opinion, why do I care exactly?

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 36 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I care.

I love Frasier. Hes always been a Republican but knows how to laugh at himself. He plays smart characters who do incredibly stupid things. He used to go on late night shows and talk about how stupid his choices are. He plays Sideshow Bob on the Simpsons.

His show also recently got a revival, so there's a brand new season of Frasier.

But the support of psychopath Roseanne...? Kelsey Grammer, wtf.

yeah, but the new frasier doesnt have David Hyde Pierce.. Who was a bigger star and draw on Fraiser than Kelsey "I heart Trumps Pumpkinspiced Cock" Grammer ever could hope to be.
