00:00 Cold open, Apple, take one.

00:02 Oh, Fredrick, surprise, surprise.

00:04 And who is this lovely serpent?

00:05 [CHEERING]

00:07 Welcome to another table read for Frazier.

00:16 [CHEERING]

00:18 We are into the cold open, into your Mahoney's tap room.

00:23 Frazier and Allen enter, arguing he works behind the bar.

00:25 Frazier notices Freddie sitting at a table

00:27 with a female companion.

00:28 Her back turned to Frazier and Allen.

00:29 There's Slido.

00:30 He clearly traded up.

00:32 Ditched his old man for an evening

00:34 with an enchanting ingenue.

00:36 Let's go say hello.

00:37 The crossover.

00:38 Freddie.

00:39 [INAUDIBLE]

00:40 Freddie looks like a deer in headlights.

00:41 But before he can get a word out,

00:43 a suave Frazier turns to Burnett.

00:44 And who is this lovely serpent?

00:46 [LAUGHTER]

00:48 OK, very quiet.

00:54 Come on down.

00:54 We're starting.

00:56 All set.

00:57 Here we go.

00:59 And action.

01:01 Burnett, my god.

01:04 Who looked in the mirror and said your name three times?

01:06 [LAUGHTER]

01:07 Frazier, I hardly recognize you.

01:09 I usually see you wedged between commercials for injury

01:13 attorneys and walk-in tubs.

01:14 [LAUGHTER]

01:16 OK, you crazy kid.

01:18 Here we go again.

01:20 OK, quiet please.

01:22 And action.

01:24 I remember you.

01:26 You were the wedding guest who kept

01:27 pestering the bartender to add olive brine to the mojitos.

01:32 Yes, and you called me the briny bastard.

01:36 And after you downed seven of them,

01:40 you grabbed the microphone and told a--

01:44 [BLEEP]

01:45 [LAUGHTER]

01:47 "Frazier" is my absolute favorite TV show.

01:52 I've been a lifelong fan of "Cheers" and "Frazier."

01:55 And when I found out it was coming back,

01:57 it was like a dream come true.

02:01 Thank you.

02:02 Thank you.

02:04 Thank you very much.

02:05 Thank you.

02:06 I love you.

02:08 Gosh, thank you.

02:09 I love you too.

02:10 Thank you.

02:11 That's very sweet.

02:13 Good evening.

02:14 Welcome.

02:15 We're going to give you a pretty good show tonight, I think.

02:17 We have a very special guest star tonight.

02:21 Hello, Frazier.

02:24 We flew all the way from Denmark to come here,

02:26 and we're very excited.

02:28 So excited.

02:29 Just seeing the whole cast connect with each other,

02:32 I think is going to be really exciting to see.

02:34 [CHEERING]

02:37 It's just really exciting to see it in person.

02:39 I remember when the show ended, I was so sad.

02:41 And I remember thinking, I wish I could have seen a taping.

02:44 Step this way for me a little bit more.

02:47 There you go.

02:48 There you go.

02:49 There you go.

02:50 Oh, that's perfect.

02:51 Stay right there, B.

02:52 Seeing Kelsey Grammer in real life.

02:54 Excited.

02:55 I've heard such good--

02:56 I've already jumped right back into the role.

02:58 Everyone who I've spoken to who's been to a taping.

03:00 So-- - Yeah.

03:01 I'm very excited to see that.

03:02 It's been such an incredible journey

03:04 to think that, you know, 20 some odd years later,

03:06 we could do Frazier.

03:07 And what's shocking is he's just as fresh and alive

03:10 as any regular human being would be.

03:13 Lilith, it's good to see you.

03:14 But if you're here, then who's minding the children

03:18 you've lured to your gingerbread house?

03:21 I was used to say to people, they'd say,

03:22 how can you play the same character for so long?

03:24 Well, it's as interesting as life itself.

03:27 So just to be clear, this is you guys proving you can get along.

03:30 Yes.

03:31 I tell your mother that she looks exactly as I pictured her,

03:33 except she's not tied to a stake cursing villagers who are

03:36 adding kindling to the fire.

03:38 It's just cutesy banter.

03:40 [LAUGHTER]

03:42 Ladies and gentlemen, Mimi Norris.

03:44 [APPLAUSE]

03:48 I just love the show, and I'm so excited for it

03:50 to be coming back.

03:51 [APPLAUSE]

03:54 Frazier lives on, so does Kelsey.

04:09 Thank you.
