For achieving the highest level in theater, television and film as an actor, producer, executive producer and director, four-time Emmy and two-time Golden Globe-winning actor Kelsey Grammer will receive the Television Chairman’s Award on April 20 in Las Vegas at the NAB Show Television Luncheon, sponsored by VCI Solutions.

Best known for his two-decade portrayal of psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane in the classic NBC sitcoms “Cheers” (1984-1993) and its spin off “Frasier” (1993-2004), Grammer was nominated for Emmys for playing his character on three different sitcoms with the third being a guest appearance on “Wings.” Grammer is also an accomplished voice-over artist providing the voices for popular animated characters such as Sideshow Bob from “The Simpsons” and Stinky Pete the Prospector in “Toy Story 2″ among others.

The new Television Chairman Award was established to recognize individuals for a significant breakthrough in one or more specific art disciplines in television.
