Aw man. After the Pope was announced I was hoping that George was in good enough shape to come to SNL and revive Bill Swerski’s Super Fans. I guess he wasn’t.
Aw man! I saw him in a stage production of 12 Angry Men. He was great in it!
NORM!
Well, that sucks! 
I’ll always admire him for giving up halfway through his “Hoedown” verse on Whose Line Is It Anyway? and shouting “Dance break!”
“What are you up to, Norm?”
“My ideal weight if I were 11 feet tall”
RIP, George. You and the rest of the Cheers gang provided me with a lot of laughs.
We have a “before bedtime” show for each day of the week. Tuesday (today) is Cheers night. It will be different tonight with today’s news.
And I’m about 3 episodes away from the Columbo episode where he is the murderer.
And I spent some time over the weekend trying to find Fletch on a streaming service, where he plays one of the characters. (I think I’m going to have to buy it).
“How’s it going, Norm?”
“It’s a dog-eat-dog world, and I’m wearing Milk-Bone underwear.”
Godspeed, George.
For something not-Cheers, he was a real dirtbag killer-of-the-week in Columbo too
“Women. Can’t live with 'em… Pass the beer nuts.”
RIP George.
I just saw Carla, I mean Rhea Perlman on Poker Face. Of course Ted Danson is always in a new series, this years was pretty good on Netflix. A Man on the Inside.
George was Jason Sudeikis’s uncle.
Bill Swerski didn’t wanna live in a world without Mongo McMichael.
Considering today’s climate regarding foreign trade and immigration, I recommend Gung Ho*, in which he has a large supporting part.
*Not a war movie.
I was hoping the thread title would be Cheers, Norm. [George Wendt dead at 76]
But Ive never seen the show, so I didn’t want to start a thread.
What the fuck? Who hasn’t seen Cheers? What madness dost thou wrought?
“Hey, Mr. Peterson. How go things on the road of life?”
“I dunno, Woody. I can’t find the on-ramp.”
Thanks for the laughs, George. Rest well.
I, for one. Of course I’ve seen the rare clip; and my late mother and stepdad liked it, so I was aware of it. But I’ve never seen an episode.
Yes, he had a great way with a one-liner.
I guess I hadn’t realized how young he was when Cheers premiered. He had that sort of ageless middle-aged look.
Condolences to his family and friends.
“How’s the world treatin’ you, Mr. Peterson?”
“Like it caught me in bed with its wife.”
Here’s hoping that when George entered the pearly gates, Nick Colasanto was there to greet him with a cold mug.
