Hey baby, you hear the blues a-callin?
Phil-esque talk show, although his romantic partner, Charlotte, recently dumped him for good.
It was for the best, Frasier explains.
Its time for George Bailey to get that old bag out of the closet and see the world.
That world is now Harvard.
Actually, the chair doesnt insist.
But getting hired by an Ivy cant be that easy, right?
Shouldnt Frasier have to defend his resume with as much vigor as KACLsham radio drama?
Theyre unanimous that Frasier and his super-ego wouldnt come close.
But would Frasier actually be hired by Harvard?
The short answer is, unfortunately, no.
How do children learn numbers?
Why does our memory sometimes fail us?
Why do some people kill themselves?
I hope he brings Niles along!

Im very familiar with Dr. Crane from his appearances inCheersandFrasier.
However, I dont believe he would be a good fit for our department.
The primary reason would be his lack of scholarship.
His dossier includes no evidence of scientific contributions and is lacking any evidence of grant funding.
The Department of Psychology at Columbia is a research-based institution and scholarship is a priority.
We also depend on faculty to provide mentorship to students to develop their own independent research.
And as a colleague, I would have serious concerns about his ego and capricious temperament.
However, most psychology departments, including Cornells, prioritize research contributions above all else when hiring faculty members.
Would the Cornell psychology department hire Frasier?
In all likelihood, no.
Kenneth Norman, Princeton University
Theres no way we would hire Frasier for a tenure-track professorship.
Plus, hes a psychiatrist.
Jutta Joormann, Yale University
Im afraid Frasier would stand little chance.
We would first and foremost evaluate his scientific contributions to the field.
Being famous and being a good talk show host alone would not get you hired.
The fame of a radio or TV host wouldnt play an important role in our hiring process.
Theres an issue of fit.
Psychology is a broad discipline with many areas and sub-disciplines.
Clinical psychology is a special professional area we dont cover.
Thus, we would be unlikely to have a position that Frasier would apply for in the first place.
If he did apply for a position, Frasiers scholarly credentials wouldnt get him very far.
I didnt see much scientific work in his background.
