Ted Danson is making amends with Kelsey Grammer several years after a dispute while the pair acted on "Cheers" together.

Grammer appeared on Danson and Woody Harrelson's SiriusXM podcast "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" on Wednesday, where he reunited with his former "Cheers" co-stars.

"I feel like I got stuck a little bit with you, during the 'Cheers' years," Danson told Grammer, who seemed to recall the moment.

"I have a memory of getting angry at you once," Danson continued. "I feel like I missed out on the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer," he said. "I feel like it's my bad, my doing, and I almost feel like apologizing to you," Danson said. "No, I don't feel like. I apologize to you and me that I sat back" he furthered.

After reminiscing about their time together, Grammer responded kindly, saying, "My love for you has always been as easy as the day, you know, as easy as the sunrise, so, whatever," Grammer said, as Danson concurred.

"Cheers" ran from 1982 to 1993 and followed the story of the goings on of a Boston bar. Along with Danson, Grammer and Harrelson, the cast included names like Shelley Long, Kirstie Alley, Rhea Perlman, John Ratzenberger and George Wendt.

After his time on Cheers, where he starred as Frasier Crane, Grammer starred in the spin-off Frasier, where he reprised his beloved role from 1993 to 2004. The show was revived in 2023.
