“I’m Listening” Eight Of The Best Celebrity Callers You May Not Know Called Frasier

Kelsey Grammer, the former star of Frasier turns 58 today and what better way to celebrate his birthday than the best celebrity callers to Frasier...

Sue Murphy

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…
