RIP George Wendt (Norm from Cheers)

[BillsPride12]

I know I'm late to the funeral on this one as I've been out of town all week but was super sad when I heard about this.  Norm is such an iconic sitcom character and George Wendt played the role so well.  Then of course you have his SNL stuff with the super fans.  I have also heard many stories about how he was very similar to the Norm character in real life.  Definitely a guy you would want to hang out and have a few beers with.  Like another poster mentioned, I also went back and rewatched Cheers from start to finish during the Covid shutdowns so even though the show ended over 30 years ago this still feels like a fresh one to me.

 

RIP to a good one 

I hope they serve 🍺in heaven

If there’s no beer, it just might be the other place!
