But Craer – who has starred in all 12 seasons of the CBS sitcom – didn’t hold back, in response to Gaetz, “Is that why, after leaving, he went on for another 4 years and won an Emmy Award for Best Actor in a Comedy?”

Gates “What is an Emmy? It’s an award that Hollywood gives itself? She won the election” Reply again.

In a follow-up tweet, Crayer explained that his refutation of Gaetz was “not intended to be a quick hit on Charlie.”

He said of the 55-year-old Shane: “He was the star of the show without a doubt. And a great actor. Despite his problems, we had a lot more successes than lows. But you can’t say that he“ made ”a show that lasted four years without him.

And FWIW, that didn’t mean to be a quick hit on Charlie.

He was without a doubt the star of the show. And a wonderful actor. Despite his problems, we had a lot more wins than lows.

But you can’t say that he “made” a show that lasted four years without him.
