News about John Mahoney

JAN MOIR: I am trying to get a preview of the new Frasier performance through my fingers in London's shadow. Why? Because I can't bear to look, I can hardly bear to look. Is it going to be terrible?Is it going to be terrific?Is it going to be a pale imitation of the greatness that went before? Thousands of viewers around the world believe that Frasier was possibly the best sitcom ever produced, and I am one of them. Frasier, certainly one of the most popular, well-written, and humourously scripted television shows of all time, from 1993 to 2004. It was set in Seattle and starred a ship of lovable fools played by a pitch-perfect cast, with a loving but fractured family dynamo at its center. Frasier himself, the ostensible psychiatrist and radio host, was played by Kelsey Grammer. Niles (David Hyde Pierce) and their salt-of-the-earth father, Martin Crane, were among the guests. Daphne (Jane Leeves), a man-hungry radio producer Roz (Peri Gilpin), and Frasier's ex-wife Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) all showed their love on Martin's carer. Everyone was amusing. Eddie Martin's dog was also funny. I still recall classic shows such as The Ski Lodge - 22 minutes of pure, delectable farce - and The Innkeepers, where Frasier and Niles purchase a posh restaurant where they discuss the souffles and flambe the Cherries Jubilee with predictable results.

After years of speculation surrounding the initiative, the Frasier revival was announced by Grammer, 67, is executive producing and re-enacting his role as Dr. Frasier Crane, the only original cast member whose return has been confirmed. According to RadarOnline, the reboot is missing major celebrities and has 'Z-list' writers and producers. FEMAIL has revealed what the cast has been up to since the show began in 2004.

Kelsey Grammer paid tribute to his late costar John Mahoney while still laying out plans to celebrate the actor on a forthcoming sequel film. During an interview with Fox News Digital on Tuesday, Grammer, 67, called the late Mahoney, 77,'man of merit,' and said the show will give him the 'proper attention.' For years, a follow-up to their series Frasier has been in talks, but the show was only officially licensed in Paraphrase in October.
