“I feel like I got a little stuck with you during the ‘Cheers’ years,” Danson said to Grammer, who seemed to remember the moment.

“I remember getting mad at you once,” Danson continued. “I feel like I missed the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer,” he said. “I feel like it was my fault, I did it, and I almost want to apologize to you,” Danson said. “No, I don’t feel that way. I apologize to both you and me for sitting back,” he continued.

Grammer responded in kind after reminiscing about their time together, saying, “My love for you has always been as easy as a day, you know, as easy as a sunrise, so, whatever,” Grammer said while Danson agreed.
