AMC reinstates ‘Talking Dead’ host

AMC host Chris Hardwick is returning to work after a review of sexual assault allegations against him by a former girlfriend.

The network says returning Hardwick to work at “Talking Dead” and “Talking with Chris Hardwick” is the “appropriate step” after a review that included interviews with numerous people.

It says Hardwick will return to “Talking Dead” Aug. 12. Substitute host Yvette Nicole Brown will be interim guest host of “The Walking Dead Season 9 Preview Special” on Aug. 5, and a guest on “Talking Dead” on Aug. 12.

Hardwick has acknowledged that an online post by his ex-girlfriend Chloe Dykstra alleging she had been sexually assaulted and emotionally abused referred to him. He has denied the allegations but has said the couple’s three-year relationship was imperfect and included arguments.

‘Frasier’ reboot may be in the works

Frasier Crane may be getting his radio show back.

Kelsey Grammer is plotting to bring back the ’90s classic “Frasier,” Deadline reported Wednesday.

The original show, a spinoff of “Cheers,” ran for 11 seasons from 1993 to 2004, starring Grammer, David Hyde Pierce, Jane Leeves, Peri Gilpin and the late John Mahoney. “Frasier” picked up 37 Emmy Awards along the way, including five consecutive awards for outstanding comedy series.

The possible reboot is expected to see Frasier in a new city, which could play into the finale, which saw the title character leave Seattle for Chicago to follow girlfriend Charlotte (Laura Linney).

“Cheers” would be the latest in a lengthy list of rebooted ’90s shows, including “Murphy Brown,” “Roseanne” and “Will & Grace.”

Grammer is talking to writers with pitches for the reboot, according to Deadline.

He’s currently on board the upcoming Fox legal drama “Proven Innocent,” which is set to premiere next year.
