Former Cheers star, Ted Danson, apologises to his former co-star Kelsey Grammer over an argument they had years ago while they worked on the long-running NBC show.

In the latest episode of Where Everybody Knows Your Name with Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson (Sometimes), Danson who played Sam Malone while apologizing to Grammer who played Dr. Frasier Crane said,

"I feel like I got stuck a little bit with you during the 'Cheers' years. I have a memory of getting angry at you once and it stuck in both of our memories."

While Grammer responded saying, "Yeah, you came and told me that one day", Ted continued to add,

"But I feel like, f***, I don't know, I feel like I missed out on the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer. It's my bad, my doing, and I almost feel like apologizing to you. No, I don't feel - I apologize to you and me that I sat back, you know, and didn't. I really do apologize."

Although the two did not mention the specifics of the argument, Grammer looked back on their time together, wishing they spent more time together.
