Kelsey Grammer remembers John Mahoney as a 'man of merit,' previews how 'Frasier' will address his loss

Actor Kelsey Grammer remembers his late friend and former "Frasier" co-star John Mahoney, who died in 2018, and reveals how the new show will address his passing.

The show, centering around radio psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane, will "certainly" be dealing with the loss of John Mahoney, who played beloved, grumpy patriarch Martin Crane on the original series. Cortney O'Brien is an Editor at Fox News. Twitter: @obrienc2

"His loss is and was devastating and must be given the proper attention in honor of the extraordinary man he was and the contribution he made to the show and to the acting profession," Grammer said. "We will most certainly be honoring him according to his merit. A man of merit he remains to this day."
