In unwelcome news from the ‘What the hell were they smoking??’ department, Hollywood Reporter is saying that, for reasons best known to those who inhabit such rarified realms, Kelsey Grammer has been allowed to secure a new job.
After plumbing the shallows of his gift in Fox’s abysmal and thankfully short-lived, ‘Back to You’ the former Cheers alumnus is now set to star in an as-yet untitled ABC comedy pilot about a Wall Street tycoon forced to bond with the folks after being laid off. Melinda McGraw, star of ‘Mad Men,’ will risk her career to appear as his wife. Bets are now welcome on how long it will last.
He was de-listed from Juilliard, his Broadway ‘Macbeth’ collapsed in ten days and ‘Back to You’ achieved ratings that wouldn’t make a phone-booth look full.
…Exactly what does it take to fail in this town??
