– aka Niles – – but hasn’t shot down the chance of another appearance.

Speaking about his latest venture in Broadway’s Pirates! The Penzance Musical,he shared: “I did not think it would hinge on my participation.

“I thought it should move on from what we were doing,”; he toldVariety.

“When happened, he didn’t bring the gang from Cheers. It was successful because they made it something different.

“Creatively, I thought, I have nothing else. I don’t think I’m going to be much fun or be that enthusiastic about returning.”;

David said about a possible return: “If there was a reason for me to appear, I’m not against it at all.”;

Freddy, played by Jack Cutmore-Scott and introduced Only Fools star as Alan Cornwall in the sitcom.

Although the recent revival was axed by Paramount+ after two seasons, Kelsey admitted he still wanted to find a new space for the show.

Kelsey previously told the Post: “There’s a better home for it. We’ll end up somewhere where people are passionate about it.

“Ted [Danson] and I might visit actually something together.

“We’ve been talking about a couple ideas. Maybe on Frasier. We don’t know.

“As long as it’s still a relevant relationship, it will still be relevant for the show,’ he added.

“[Sam] and Frasier got along pretty well, discovered some things together about life. They could still do that.”;

The Cheers spin-off ran between 1993 and 2004 and followed the lives of Frasier, his brother Niles and their dad Martin (John).

David Hyde Pierce played Niles alongside, Jane Leeves, John Mahoney and Peri Gilpin for 11 seasons.
