Kelsey Grammer's BBC interview was cut short when the topic turned to his endorsement of Donald Trump

According to a radio host, “Frasier” actor Kelsey Grammer‘s interview with the BBC was cut short this week by Paramount+ representatives when the topic turned to his support for former US President Donald Trump.

One of the hosts of BBC Radio 4’s “Today” show, Justin Webb, recalled that earlier in the interview, which aired on Monday, Grammer had brought up actor and producer Roseanne Barr.

During the 2018 successful revival of the sitcom “Roseanne,” Barr, a real-life supporter of Trump, portrayed the fictional Trump supporter Roseanne Conner. However, after she made racist remarks on Twitter, now known as X, the network ABC decided to cancel her show. Barr later expressed regret and said she thought the sleep aid Ambien had affected her behavior.

Talking politics, Webb questioned Grammer about whether or not he still supported the former US president.

“I am,” replied Grammer. And I’ll let things end there.

After the talk concluded, Webb continued to talk about Grammer’s remark.

According to Webb, Kelsey Grammer was more than content to continue discussing the topic.

“His lengthy discussion about it made the PR people at Paramount+ less happy,” he remarked.

They concluded that we had ample time to complete our interview. However, I should emphasize that he was more than happy to discuss his reasons for supporting Donald Trump and his plans to do so in the upcoming election, Webb continued.

For comment, CNN has gotten in touch with the representatives of Grammer and Paramount+.

Grammer made an appearance on the BBC program to talk about the revival of the popular sitcom “Frasier” from the 1990s, which Paramount+ released in October.

Frasier returns to Boston from Seattle in the upcoming chapter “with new challenges to face, new relationships to forge, and an old dream or two to finally fulfill,” according to a description of the series on the Paramount website.

The title character, played by Grammer, is a conceited psychiatrist who first aired in the cult comedy “Cheers” in the 1980s and later got his spin-off program.

After airing for 11 years and taking home a record 37 Emmys for a comedy series, the original “Frasier” went on to become one of the most popular TV spin-offs ever.
