Kelsey Grammer Makes First Television Appearance Since Heart Attack

[Brian Damage]

Tonight on Jay Leno, Kelsey will be interviewed. I am curious what he has to say about his heart attack and the subsequent cancellation of BTY.

I'll definitely be watching tonight - I'm sure he's on there to promote Swing Vote, but I'm curious if Back to You is mentioned at all. Maybe Jay will mention something about it, or even the DVD.

I am positive he will mention BTY. I just know it. Here's his chance to rip FOX a new one. lol

I"m hoping he will - this is NBC, afterall, not FOX. I'm also hoping he says something about the BTY DVD, just to let people know about it.

I hope I remembered setting my DVR.
Slam FOX, Kelsey.

I'll be watching. It's a looooonghot, but wouldn't it be something if he mentioned the campaign? lol.

He will also be on Conan on Monday night and Regis & Kelly on Tuesday morning, I believe. So he will fly back to NY this weekend.

He was also on Entertainment Tonight with Mary Hart before the Jay Leno show.
I saw him on Jay Leno, and with Mary Hart "Entertainment Tonight". Kelsey looked very good. Lost some weight.
I'll record Conan on Monday night and Regis & Kelly Tuesday morning. Thanks all for the info everyone.

I missed it. Did he say anything about BTY?

[JulieSomoski]

I watched last night, and I must say this has got to be the nicest and classiest actor in Hollywood - not only did he thank his wife and all his fans, he thanked all the doctors and ER workers that helped him through his heart attack. Very nice.

He did mention Back to You - he said how its cancellation added to his stress, whcih eventually lead to his heart attack. I believe he said the show was doing well, and he was expecting to get the renewal, but the morning it got cancelled he was told to pack his bags and get out of his office (by FOX, of course). So, he did begin to rip into FOX, but Jay kind of stopped him and started talking about his heart attack again.

I'm just glad he mentioned it at all. Too bad he didn't mention the campaign - that would have been awesome. And I'll actually sit through Conan on Monday night just to see Kelsey!

I seen it. He looked GREAT!!!! He seemed miffed abt the cancellation of BTY, rightly so. He said words to the effect of those fans who probably couldn't see him as anyone else but Frasier since he played that character for many years.

I think BTY had great numbers and Kelsey should know that many, many fans enjoy seeing him on t.v. regardless of the role he plays. ;)

I missed it...(fell asleep) but I am glad he began to rip on FOX. Hopefully, he'll continue to do so on Conan and Regis.

I checked the Tonight Show website. They have the episodes there to view in case you missed it. They don't have last night's show up yet.

I did notice he seemed a little upset about the whole cancellation, but really, he should be. The show did have good numbers on a regular basis, and a greatly-devoted fanbase, and I hope he knows that. I do remember him saying that fans wouldn't get used to him playing a new character on television, which is understandable, but we know that isn't the reason the show got cancelled.
