Always nice to have you here speaking about me.

It occurs to me you gave me my last enemy.

That's right.

That was very cool.

Yeah, well, I was had to it with Your name was on the No, I know, but you could have read somebody else's.

That's true.

No, that was a nice You know what's funny?

You don't really get, uh it's nice to be able to be a presenter at an award show.

It's like the Emmys because you read the name and you came up, you one.

And it was really I felt like I was giving you a great year when, really, I had nothing to do with it, But it was still a gesture.

It's funny.

I I once gave one to Christine Baranski.

I had gone to Juilliard with her, you know, before the Punic Wars together on bond.

I presented her first Emmy tour, and so that it was just kind of nice, full circle quality.

I never got it like a thank you note or anything.

Well, I tried to do that now because I felt like crap about it.

Yeah, here all torn up about You know what?

Actually, you know, it's funny.

This made me realize something.

The first time that I met you was a few years before I even started doing this show.

This must be about 14 years ago.

I was working on The Simpsons and we were working on Ah, Sideshow Bob episode when you came in.

I don't even it's so long ago.

I don't even remember.

But this was It was a great sideshow, Bob parody.

I think of Bob Sideshow.

That was what we're It's the parody of the great Scorsese remake.

And I'm blanking on everything right now.

Cape Fear Right on.

And but you came in And we have, you know, written what we thought was a funny And then you just brought this this character toe life.

It was so we hear a little sideshow, Bob.

Sure.

Thanks for me.

Uh, here's my mike.

Okay, this is easier.

Hello, Bob.

I just like it.

Frankly, he's also it's one of the hammy ist characters ever written.

You could tell that you were just having so much fun doing a devoted ham himself, you know?

I mean, I'm am in the part, but he himself is a hams.

Yes, it's him on him.

Now, I want to ask you about Thanksgiving Thanksgiving right around the corner.

Is this a a warm memories for you?

Thanksgiving in my house was always fight night, you know?

Well, you know, after a year of holding all the hostility and you sit down to celebrate with the family, it's the only time you get them all in the same room on a couple of glasses of wine on.

Uh, imagine Grandma cuts open, you know, just Yeah, great.

Great grandmother.

One of your It was always my great.

Hey, that's my grandmother was the titular head of the home in my adolescence, and she was a feisty one.

She was a tough one.

And so we had a lot of fights.

There was a time that actually through her boyfriend out of the house.

You through grandma's boyfriend, it gets to get stranger his name.

Waas.

Captain Bob.

It was really Captain Bond.

We called him Captain Bob.

Was he a captain?

He said, Well, I don't know if he was a captain, he had some men just where a captain's hat get different from?

He did run boats.

He He was a skipper on some boats.

And he liked to be called Captain Bubs.

Uh, but, uh, I was sitting down to dinner with my sister and my sister's boyfriend at the time was ah, young man named Danny Ng, who was half Seminole, half Chinese.

This was not very popular in Bob's mind.

Eso he looked over Danny and said, Exactly what color are you anyway, on?

Uh well, he was kind of a bigot.

And he was he was in pain.

Eso i I just Enough at that point, I said Okay, Bob, that's it.

You've got to go.

So I wish you had said you're going overboard, Bob.

Kidding?

E that's over s So I picked him up by the back of the pants and I threw him out of the house.

That's it.

So I hope you.

Because if you just put one hand, they tip over, but you gotta be Oh, wow.

Threw him out in the front yard.

Incredible.

Climbed into his car and drove away.

My grandmother about an hour later said, I want you to drive me to Bob.

No, you sit in that room you stay there.

Way had a really interesting way.

I think Norman Rockwell painted this once.

Bob's going out the window.

Your grandmother's punching up.

Yeah, it's a wonderful scene.

Now.

I understand.

You know, you you have You're still doing a lot of work, but you have more time on your hands now that you've finished Frasier, which is a lot of work doing one of those programs.

What are you doing with your You're treating yourself to, um, take care of myself a little bit better.

I'm working out once in a while.

I'm doing.

I've been doing some I'm spending more time with the kids, spend more time with my wife.

I've been on vacation a bit more often, and I've been doing some grooming grooming, which is, uh, it's usually induced by my wife.

Uh, we were in Mexico while ago, and there were a lot of really handsome young men down there.

I having formerly been a handsome young man?

Uh, no.

A sort of aging, once handsome young man.

I'm rather Harry, and my wife said I'm glad we could talk about my wife.

Why don't you get your back waxed?

Because you've got a nice back and, you know, you look, you know, good.

Like all these other young, strapping lads out here on de.

So we went down to the little salon and this lovely aesthetician from Mexico Ah, took, I think, delight in removing the hair from my back.

Now, I don't even know how they do that.

I know nothing about it.

Pretty barbaric, actually.

They roll.

They have, Ah, hot.

What looks like a paint roller.

But it also looks like it's honey, and it's like melted hot honey.

But you realize that there's actually a poxy or something right on.

They rub that on your back, and then they put something on it.

I don't know what it is exactly.

It's some kind of cloth.

It's like fiberglass on the surfboard on.

Are you sure you weren't at a surf shop?

Well, I might have been.

Yeah.

And then she pats it for a minute there and then rips it off.

So while my wife and this lovely aesthetician were laughing, I was screaming and biting the pillow like, you know, the big girl that I am now.

What are they?

What are they?

What happens to this thing when they're done, you get to keep it is like they throw that out.

I didn't wanna look.

That could be a mat.

One Ford truck, this square.

You could sell that on eBay, you know?

Hey, welcome to our home.

That's Kelsey Grammer's back.

Thank E was probably a square yard on my back, so Yeah, you could probably pollster a chair in it or something.

Well, celebrity stuff goes next time, save that.

It's a fabulous I say that it was very painful, but it did look good.

Yeah.

You know, I started to understand that, you know, there's some some benefit in the pain of good grooming.

So you're back right now is just completely now my back is, uh it's sort of semi Harry right now because I have never ended the interview that way.

That's gonna be my new question at the end of every area, laser, because it's and that's been really interesting.

Laser.

Doesn't that just set fire to the hair on your back?

Pretty much.

Well, I'm sorry.

I'm just picturing you with this big.

I'm just picturing you with this hairy back and they fire a bond laser at you in a forest fire goes out like that nine miles away, arrangers like, Oh, my God.

Get the trucks.

That's pretty much like that.

Wow.

I wanna mention this.

A Christmas Carol which, which you shot in Budapest.

Beautiful location.
