With his brother Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) out of town, Niles (David Hyde Pierce) subs for him on his daily radio advice show. One of the callers is Reggie McLemore (Lorenzo Newton), a popular basketball player who is going through a slump. After providing some sage off-mic advice for the athlete, Niles soon discovers he has become a celebrity -- but not for the reasons that he might suspect. This episode was rewritten to accommodate the well-publicized "leave of absence" of star Kelsey Grammer, who herein makes but a token appearance.
