George Wendt, Ted Danson & Woody Harrelson Have A Cheers Reunion | Where Everybody Knows Your Name

[@mkultra2010]

One of my best friends saw George in a grocery story once, coming the other way down the aisle. He didn’t want to bother him by saying anything, but did (he thought) discreetly peek in his cart as they passed. “Thought it was going to be full of beer, didn’t you?” said George quietly, and kept walking. The man is a natural comic.

[@RS-cd9cf]

He probably drank it before he checked out

[@stephencronin304]

Great, great, great episode. Ted and Woody may think no one wants to hear about Cheers in detail anymore but I’ve been waiting for this. I know they know Cheers was a great show but not sure they know the place this show has in the hearts of fans, even now in the context of another 30 years of programming since. While I love Seinfeld and Curb, nothing touches Cheers. I could listen to the war stories, the analysis, the behind the scenes of Cheers literally all day.

[@DenisRichardJr]

Amen to that. Cheers is THE show I grew up on. So, to me this is like going back home. I currently rewatching it on Prime and it stills holds up. Love this show!

[@justinklenk]

​@@DenisRichardJr Ditto - it's always nostalgic to hear someone else say it. There were other classic shows from the eighties - but really, somehow, only one true SHOW that was THE classic show... Didn't even realize it was happening, as a kid - didn't even realize that it was, even then, such a big deal to me; but it totally was.

[@ryansullivan5575]

A cable channel here in Canada (CMT me thinks) has been replaying the entire series for the past couple years!

[@SARSx33]

I was two when this show ended, but it’s one of my original comfort shows!

[@Sparks_Alive]

@@DenisRichardJr There was a warmth to the show. The future shows, although funny did not have due to their styles.

[@nat7278]

Can we have George on EVERY week now? I'm serious. You guys had 11 seasons? We need more. This was priceless. I grew up watching Cheers. It truly delivered on its promise. I always felt welcome and included even though I was alone watching the show. It felt intimate and real. It's simple and believable.

[@davidjames1389]

Man I really hope they can get Shelley Long for one of these. It would be so damn cool to see her and Ted interacting again.

[@missmakebyjoanna]

YES!!!! I would LOVE to see them together again

[@monolithsound]

I lived just a few blocks from the studio where Cheers was shot. My roommate was a fledgling actor, and we went to a lot of tapings of the show. I can still hear myself laughing in a few of the shows. I have a silly ass laugh. One thing that I remember being blown away by was that I only saw Ted Dansen trip over a line a couple of times. He was always on beat and really held that troupe together. Great times.

[@user-jq2ud5yf6s]

Wow do you remember which episodes your laugh could be heard?

[@spiffydigs]

The first time I visited NYC I saw George Wendt on the sidewalk and he gave me his autograph. I was only 16, and my friend back home was a huge Cheers fan so I really got it for him. My father was an alcoholic, so tbh I really couldn't get in to Cheers back then. But meeting George Wendt was special and left a lifelong impression. Not to mention all the great work he's done with Conan. The best don't let fame change them. An original OG, love this guy.

[@hcc792]

If by some chance someone that worked on Cheers in any way shape or form reads this little tiny comment…Cheers has been something that connects me to the earliest part of my childhood…and when I moved from New England to out west for a couple of decades…if I was feeling homesick I would stream Cheers…even though I know it wasn’t filmed in Boston…the set decorations…the writing…the acting…my gosh it captured the feeling of being in Boston…in New England. THAnK YOU for making a tv show that is obviously more than just a tv show. And thank you Ted and Woody and George for this great episode…we love you guys, and won’t get tired of hearing about your cheers days ever.

[@traceridpath6614]

“I can attest to the sustaining power of lemons 🍋” 😂😂😂 What a great convo, Woody riffing with Teddy is pure magic!

[@leightnite3056]

I'd watch this every week! Amazing that a show that's been over for 30 yrs still hangs in there culturally, this was Fantastic.

[@mccallosone4903]

listening to these guys talk is like hanging out with old friends. had a tough time junior year of high school, watching funny tv helped me not feel so lonely. thanks for the laughs fellas

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

In the UK in the 80's I used to have to negotiate with my parents to be able to stay up late enough to watch Cheers as my laughing would wake my Dad up. So great to do these reunions as these shows outlive us all and hearing stories about when they were being filmed is a treat for us fans

[@yeseniapena2559]

Cheers is one of my comfort shows. I've rewatched the entire series a few times in the past decade. I love when you guys talk about Cheers!

[@keNNed1987]

Love everything about this! Ted, George and Woody still as sharp as ever! Have been watching Cheers all my life, and I cannot even begin to describe how much your show means to me still to this day. Thank you for all the memories! :)

[@kipmcmillan2600]

WOW. That really shows how genuine all your friendships are. For all we know, it may have been a couple of years since you'd all seen each other, but there is clearly a powerful connection, kinship and love. Thank you gentlemen.

[@wolfman8449]

Over the years I always get to a point where I am just done with podcasts. It gets old, it gets predictable, but then they win me over again when interesting characters pop up with one. This is one of the podcasts that make it interesting again.

Great episode and Cheers is STILL the greatest series ever. I watched it then, till it wrapped, watched it in reruns every night till they stopped repeating it, watched it on dvd, and now my kids and I are watching it at dinner every night. It's part of the dna in my life and just such a joy to be able to continue to revisit over and over.

[@ClaireHomestead-pg5tc]

I still have the VHS with the finale. I was 11 and watched it 1000 times. I thought it was the greatest thing ever.

[@dangxdc8348]

As Donald P Bellisario discussed the QUANTUM LEAP finale and said "Nothing is bigger than Cheers ENDING *laughing* with its FIVE FINAL EPISODES

[@XanBos]

I love hearing the behind the scene stuff, and the fact that these guys seem to have a bond between them that has lasted all these years. Cheers has to be one of my all time favorite shows, (even though I don’t own a copy of the series on dvd….yet) I didn’t know that George Wendt had been in every episode! Kudos for being the only one! And what a turn of events to lead up to getting the part of Norm, making it so iconic of a character. As much as Sam was important to the bar as the owner, Norm was one of the main fixtures of the bar. So much so, that the whole bar would shout his name as he entered. Cheers was an endearing show, making each character very memorable. I will tell you this; the last episode of cheers still brings a tear to my eyes, as we see Sam walk to the back room. I’ve said it to many of my friends, but I would love to see a Cheers special, that would show where everyone is today, just to see if Norm still had his spot, and Carla would still be waitressing. I know we wouldn’t see some of the characters, due to the deaths of the actors, but I’m sure some sort of nod to them would be there. Maybe Diane would pop in after a whirlwind life, and want to settle down with Sam, and this time they get it right. Thanks guys for having this series of podcasts, as it warms the heart to listen to these wonderful actors share their memories. ❤

[@josephaxel8759]

Cheers was successful, not just because of great writing, but because of the definitive human chemistry that was present on the set then, and is present in this episode now with Ted, Woody, and George. Love and respect for their craft and for each other! This is respectable entertainment. Thank you for this episode!

[@VideoNozoki]

So happy to finally see George Wendt here!!! I hope he comes back. It seems like there are still a lot more stories to tell. (I'm all ears!)

[@pommie5093]

I could watch them talk about Cheers memories all day. Cheers and Breaking Bad are my favorite TV shows of all time. My friends and I used Cheers' lines in our everyday vernacular-still do. The writing was off the charts. The group of actors in the show was perfection. When they added someone, like Frasier or Cliff's mother, they were also perfection. The show became golden-one of those rare moments when everything comes together to make history. I hope they continue this series, talking to everyone in the cast who are still with us.

[@magillavanzeppelin]

I'm currently binging Cheers, in the final season, so a lot of what they are talking about is still fresh in my head. What a great episode, Norm has always been one of my favorite tv show characters. Plus, George and I share the same birthday and love of beer. Would have been even better to have Cliff on there as well. I really wish the new Frasier show would have a scene where he goes back to Cheers only to find Cliff and Norm still sitting at the bar!

[@lumpydavidg2201]

Got to work with George for a couple of weeks in Ireland a few years back. What a dude!! As warm & entertaining as you can imagine.

[@Games_and_Music]

What a great episode, these memories of Cheers are priceless. There's so many great moments, some of my favorites are; Sam's: "No Brains Atol", "Denise/the niece", the "G-g-groin injury" rap, Cliff electrocuting himself with the shock therapy, Sam and Mr. Hill interactions, Rebecca's: "Blindfolded, gagged and with both hands tied behind my back... we were just talking about a party Friday night."

[@kodiak138]

I almost didn't take a job back in the day because it includes me working at 9.00pm on Thursdays, that's how much Cheers meant to me and my friends who were in our late teens, very early 20s and worshipped Cheers! crazy part was it was being a barback at my uncle's bar to be paid under the table and a few tips.

[@danpalmer5451]

THIS is what I was hoping the podcast would be every episode! Great stuff. Please have George back for another round… and Ratz, Kels, Rhea, Bebe, Paul …and (dare I say) Shelley? 🍻🍻

One of the scenes I always think of with Nick Colasanto is when Coach is sitting at a table in the bar with Sam, tutoring him in geography, and he starts pairing the facts with song. 'Albani-a, Albani-a, you border on the A-dri-atic." To this day, I still find it catchy.

A day full of gratitude, love and laughter and it seemed like we shared it with our old friends. Cheers to this cast (and crew) for making us feel the feels for 11 short years! Love you guys (and Conan too). 🎊🍻🎉

[@romanflute6069]

In college in 88', there was still a film one class played and George was in it. The whole auditorium hollered out "NORM!" lol.

[@ROOKTABULA]

I was going through a rough time the last year Cheers was on and living alone in a horrible town. The final episode crushed me because these guys were the friends I got to see and laugh with every week because all my actual friends were all far away. I still have the VHS tape I made. Watched it every week after for about a month.

[@blackbird5634]

My school days in Upstate New York were punctuated with Cheers episodes because I'd take a homework break to watch. And back when the shows would follow the seasons they had weather on the set, pretending to be Boston, that was happening in New England at the time. It felt like they were real. It was special.

[@fizzedupslade4082]

Really enjoyed hearing all this reminiscing. When I was young and started watching Cheers, I used to stay home on a Friday night to watch it when it was being aired in the UK. I preferred to stay home rather than go out to the pub with my pals. Many thanks for some of the best entertainment I've experienced.

[@ckSport3000]

Curtis, 57 from San Diego.. MAN this was fun .. felt like I was sitting in with you guys. 1987 and 88' I was in a VERY unhappy life in the Army Infantry, stationed in FREEZING cold Germany. AAFN tv played Cheers re-plays at night. When not in the field, I found a spot on the base bowling alley with a crappy little tv and NO ONE ever around. It may sound corny, but just the Theme Song.. made me feel like I was back home. No exaggeration, that show and no other.. helped me.

[@jessmann2780]

when" Norm " said his favorite bits were from woody It made me smile. Cheers was and is my favorite show of all time and growing up watching it every week I noticed that Norm always seemed genuinely amused by Woody's monologue and bits, he would break character laughing but in that setting he could either way. What a great time that was .

So many stories to tell from the 11 Seasons. Named my Son Sammy after Mr Malone, so much nostalgia and sentiment attached to the show, adore it so much.

[@raymarks7430]

My favorite line was when Ted asked “Norm” if he and Vera had kids and Norm answered “no, i can’t” “Sam” apologized and Norm cuts him off to say “no Sam it’s ok… it’s just you’ve seen Vera .. I can’t”. I may have a few of those words wrong but the timing was amazing and it’s still my favorite line from TV sitcoms of all time

I was too young for Cheers when it was on network. I didn't start watching it until after college, in the 2000's. And as much as i enjoyed the show, that very first season was really my favorite. Sam was a ladies man, but he wasn't creepy. They made him kinda lecherous and creepy after the first couple years. Also, the lighting. The lighting in that first season felt like a real bar. Lots of shadows, often under-lit for the actors, but in a great way. It became closer to sitcom lighting in the later seasons, but that first year, things felt more real, the characters were the most endearing, and i just loved it. It was still good by season 11, but that first year....like a fine wine.

When I was a child, my brother, cousins and I would be in our grandparents' basement, which was furnished, and also furnished with a bar area with stools and all; we'd have glasses of juice and soda, pretending we were on Cheers; I'd walk into the room, and my cousins and brother would shout "Norm!" and that was their way, in our little Cheers game we were playing, of telling me I was Norm; so, seeing this episode put a wide grin on my face and good memories in my mind 😀
