Grammer Gripped by Campaign Fever
Oh lordy, we could have another Schwarzenegger on our hands.
TV shrink Kelsey Grammer has signaled his interest in a possible senatorial run once he puts his acting career on ice.
Grammer, whose Frasier is slated to end its run next May after 11 seasons, made the pronouncement on Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes.
"If you have the good fortune to become wealthy doing what you love to do, what happens is you now have an obligation to give back in some way," he said on the show.
Like a true politician, Grammer, 48, was short on specifics. He gave no timetable on his retirement from acting (he has in the past said he'd like to do films and theater work post Frasier), and he kept his platform vague.
"I would like to try to rid the country of the idea that it's the rich against the poor," he said.
Grammer is, of course, very rich, reportedly pocketing more than $1.5 million per episode of Frasier, making the multiple Emmy winner the highest-paid performer in television history.
Should he eventually make a run for U.S. Senate, he would aspire to join the likes of Ronald Reagan, Clint Eastwood, Fred "Gopher" Grandy, Ben "Cooter" Jones and Sonny "Sonny" Bono in successfully transitioning from show-biz to politics. Let's hope he'd avoid modeling his Senate run after Jerry Springer's--the Ringmaster mulled a candidacy in Ohio earlier this year but ultimately pulled out after polls showed potential voters thought he was a joke.
Speaking of jokes, the California recall election, again set for October 7 after a federal appeals court ruling Tuesday, continues the Barnum & Bailey routine. More than 80 candidates, including Diff'rent Strokes alum Gary Coleman and porn starlet Mary Carey, gathered at NBC Studios in Burbank for a chance to appear on The Tonight Show.
Coleman and Carey will reprise their stumping as they tape the Game Show Network's Who Wants to Be Governor of California? on Wednesday, the same day the legitimate contenders, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, gather in Sacramento for an officially sanctioned debate.
