16 Things ‘Frasier’ Fans Never Knew

6. Rehab Changed Everything

While “Niles Crane” was hosting his older brother Frasier’s popular radio show when he was away at a convention, in real life Grammer had checked into the Betty Ford Clinic. The actor’s gift from NBC—a Dodge Viper, had capsized on September 21, 1996, and resulted in a DUI arrest, which led him to seek rehab. Timing was everything however, as due to the Major League Baseball playoffs, Frasier was on hiatus for three weeks and the episode “Head Games” was rewritten, Grammer’s intro part filmed later on and added before broadcast, and all was well in TV land.
