Frasier's Guest Callers Trivia Quiz

Answer: Christopher Reeve

Christopher Reeve calls in during season 1, episode 2 that was originally aired on September 23, 1993. He played a man with agoraphobia, or the fear of open spaces. This is a role at the opposite end of the spectrum than another that Reeve played. He had starred in the "Superman" series of movies in the 70s and 80s.

He suffered a permanent disability due to a severe spinal cord injury when he fell from a horse in 1995. The remaining options in this question appeared in various episodes as call-in guests.

Answer: True

During the season 6, episode 12 show, real-life couple Phil Donahue and Marlo Thomas call in to Frasier's show. Both are on because the character Sophie (Thomas) wants to invite some of her girlfriends to her husband Larry's (Donahue's) Super Bowl party.

This causes a disagreement, so they turn to Frasier for advice. Thomas and Donahue were married in 1980, so were an actual real-life couple when they called in.

Answer: Henry Mancini

Henry Mancini appears in season 1, episode 13. He calls in to Frasier's radio show for advice because he cannot stand the sound of his own voice. He is identified as "Al" in the show, but Frasier plays "Moon River" on the radio shortly after his call. Mancini wrote that song for "Breakfast at Tiffany's". He wrote music for many other movies as well.

Answer: David Duchovny

David Duchovny plays "Tom" on episode 22 of season 3. He is looking for advice about his relationship with his girlfriend. He reports to Frasier that he and his girlfriend have sex twice a day during the week, but three times a day on weekends. Still, he isn't sure that they have much else in common.

Besides "Californication", Duchovny is well-known for playing Fox Mulder in "The X-Files". His co-star in that series, Gillian Anderson, appears as a guest voice on Frasier's call-in radio show in another season.

Answer: Bed wetting

Rob Reiner's character "Bill" calls in on season 5, episode 13. He states that he suffered from bed wetting as a child and he is worried that the problem is coming back. Reiner famously played "Meathead" on "All in the Family", and went on to direct films such as "The Princess Bride", "This is Spinal Tap", and "Misery" among many other films.

His father, Carl Reiner, also calls in to Frasier's radio show in season 1 seeking help to settle an argument with his wife.

Answer: Psychology

Greg, played by Cusack, calls in to Frasier's radio show during season 4, episode 8. He is looking for help because he is a graduate student, studying psychology, and he keeps diagnosing himself with the disorders that he is studying. Frasier works to let him know that he is misdiagnosing himself.

Answer: William H. Macy

On this particular episode, Frasier is encouraging everyone to be nice, and to help those around them. However, things seem to always go awry for him when he takes his own advice. In this case, the character voiced by William H. Macy is one of the people that Frasier has tried to help.

He plays "Ralph", a motorist that Frasier helped by changing a flat tire for him. He calls in during the show to complain about the damage that Frasier did to his car while he was changing the tire. Macy's real-life wife Felicity Huffman also appears on some episodes of "Frasier", playing one of his love interests, as well as a radio station colleague.

The other options in this question also appeared as call-in voices during the tenure of the show.

Answer: Jay Leno

Jay Leno called in to Frasier's radio show, playing a man who was struggling to control his weight. During the call, a voice can be heard in the background, making it obvious that he is actually at a drive through restaurant. When Frasier calls him on it, the caller (Leno) pretends to drive into a tunnel and terminates the call.

It's not unusual that Leno played a caller who was in a car, since he has owned many classic cars over the years and has been known to go out cruising in them.

Answer: False

Jodie Foster plays "Marlene" in season 3, episode 13. She calls in because she is a housewife who is so busy running the home that she and her husband never have time for lovemaking. She asks Frasier for help, stating that if they don't find the time soon, that she is going to go to a retail store and pick up a stranger for sex.

In real life, Foster had been in same-sex relationships since the 1990s.

Answer: Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren was appointed a Dame for her work in drama in 2003. The following year, on March 16, 2004, she played the final guest caller on Frasier's radio show. She played a woman suffering from kleptomania, calling in to get some help from Frasier to stop her urge to steal things.
