Kelsey Grammer explained the origins of the low, melodious voice of Sideshow Bob and explained how singing Tony Bennett songs on the set of Cheers earned him the role as the beloved Simpsons villain. During an interview on the BBC's The Graham Norton Show, Grammer explained that he was offered the role of Sideshow Bob through Sam Simon, the late Simpsons co-creator, and a former writer and producer for Cheers. When The Simpsons staff decided to give Sideshow Bob a voice (he'd previously been seen as Krusty the Clown's sidekick, but not heard), Simon recalled Grammer's Bennett-esque belting and offered him the role. After reading the script, Grammer realized a voice based on famed theater actor Ellis Rabb was perfect for the pompous Sideshow Bob.
