Kelsey Grammer and Piers Morgan have met up on CNN to chat before, but the actor’s latest visit didn’t go so well.
Just weeks after politician Missouri Rep. Todd Akin bailed on Piers Morgan Tonight at the last minute, the Boss star decided to do the same!
Morgan took to Twitter on Wednesday night to share the news, writing:
Kelsey Grammer was supposed to be on my show now but ran out of the building. Strange. #CNN

So what got Grammer’s undies in such a bunch that he hightailed it out of the Hollywood studio? He saw a picture of his ex-wife, Camille Grammer, as Morgan continued:
So, Kelsey Grammer saw a photo of his ex wife Camille in the open to our show and legged it. Extraordinary. Never had this happen before.

I had a very friendly chat with Kelsey backstage, He said he was really looking forward to the interview. Weird. #CNN

Despite what the twice-divorced actor may have thought, his interviewer says he wasn’t even planning on mentioning Camille, continuing:
I like Kelsey Grammer personally, but this was a shockingly unprofessional thing to do. I wasn’t even going to mention his ex-wife!

Since Morgan had four other guests scheduled to participate in political discussion, we’re sure the show went just fine, but at least Simon Cowell was there to help.
After the X Factor judge chimed in to say that he knows how Grammer feels, Morgan quipped back to spark this friendly sparring match:
@piersmorgan if he was watching x factor he wouldn’t have done a runner. Do you want me to call him for you?
— Simon Cowell (@SimonCowell) September 20, 2012
Aww! What a good friend. Guess Grammer didn’t pick up his phone for Mr. Cowell either though.
