To the absolute credit of a genius show, the creators of Frasier barely let us know what celebrity was making a guest appearance as a caller. Some absolute gems made it to the airways like Carrie Fisher, Ben Stiller and Stanley Tucci. Here are our eight favourite celebrity callers…
1. Macaulay Culkin
The child actor called the psychiatrist pretending to be 43… with hilarious results.
2. Matthew Broderick
Matthew called in as Mark, a guy who works in an all night mini mart who doesn’t exactly approve of himself…
3. Kevin Bacon
Bacon called in as Vic, one of the very few calls that was taken by Roz. Well he was a model… and then a lawyer. You see the appeal…
4. Jodie Foster
The star who is normally quite serious gushed on the airwaves about how excited she was to be on the show. We secretly hope she was genuinely this excited to be on the show…
5. John Lithgow
Lithgow rang the show, pretending to be a washed up car salesman, who was actually using the call to promote his business…
6. Lily Tomlin
Raising 4 kids and going slightly insane, Rita was offered a puppy by Frasier…
7. Gary Sinise
Sid had a phobia about talking to people on the phone that he didn’t know… And decided to call a radio station…
8. James Spader
Stephen called in as he was worried if him and his wife should let their baby sleep in the bed.
And a shortened version of most of the guest appearances…
But this, is our favourite moment…
