RIP George Wendt

*triplexxx* · 05-20-2025, 05:32 PM

Sitcom actor George Wendt, aka Norm Peterson on Cheers, has passed at 76. His character Norm appeared in Frasier and also St. Elsewhere. He appeared in many other films/series, inlcuding Airplane II The Sequel. House, Fletch, Taxi, Never Say Die, MASH, Hart to Hart, Saturday Night Live, Wings, Becker (opposite Ted Danson, reversal of roles), Seinfeld, Spin City, George Lopez, The Goldbergs, The Simpsons, Garfield in the Town & Garfield in the Rough, A History of the World in Six Glasses, and many others. He was also in a few music videos, including a couple with Michael Jackson. Godspeed and enjoy the bar and booze in heaven George Wendt; I'm sure that up there, everybody knows your name. It was nice getting to see you on Galaxycon a few years back with Kirstie Alley (who is also up there with you) and John Ratzenberger.

I’m sad to hear this. Never really watched Cheers but I liked seeing him show up in other things. House too. I liked Becker but never finished watching it. Lost track of the reruns.
