The praise for Ted Danson comes after he apologized to Kelsey Grammer last month for missing 30 years of friendship after Cheers amid an unspoken rift.

Danson, 76, had Grammer, 69, on his podcast Where Everybody Knows Your Name, which he co-hosts with Woody Harrelson.

Although Danson would not reveal details about what caused the argument between them, he apologized to Grammer on the podcast.

“This isn’t self-deprecating, but I wish – I feel like I was a little stuck with you during the Cheers years. I remember getting mad at you one time,” Danson said.

“Yes, you came to tell me that one day,” Grammer replied, while Danson added, “And it’s in both of our memories.”

‘But I feel like: f**k, I don’t know. “I missed the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer, and I feel like it’s on me, it’s my fault,” Danson added.

“I almost feel like apologizing to you… no, I don’t feel like, I’m apologizing to you and me for sitting back, you know, and not doing that. “I truly apologize,” he said

Grammer thanked him for that, saying, “I really wish we had spent a little more time together,” before recounting an anecdote Danson told him that has always been “quoted to other people.”

Danson was one of the original cast members of Cheers, playing former Boston Red Sox pitcher Sam Malone, who opened the title bar in Beantown.

Grammer did not debut until the third season as psychiatrist Frasier Crane, initially only slated to appear in six episodes, but became a series regular present during the show’s 11th and final season in 1993.
