  "account": "Kelsey Grammer, known for his roles in Cheers and Frasier, is planning a comeback with NBC through a new medical drama called Pops. The project, inspired by the true story of Ed Levien, an EMT who started working at the age of 60, has Grammer portraying a middle-aged man seeking a fresh start in the chaotic world of emergency medicine. Danny Weiss, who has worked on Chicago Med for 10 seasons, will write and executive produce the series. Grammer will also executive produce alongside Jordan McMahon, Levien, and 3 Arts Entertainment. Universal Television is behind the project. This isn't Grammer's first NBC attempt; he recently reprised his Frasier role in Paramount+ Frasier revival, which was canceled in January 2025. NBC is also set to feature another former Frasier star, David Hyde Pierce, in a new comedy series.",
