RIP
Here’s to the legendary George Wendt.
Best known for his unforgettable role as Norm Peterson on Cheers, George brought laughter into living rooms for over a decade with his dry wit, perfect timing, and that iconic entrance:
“Norm!”
“It’s a dog-eat-dog world, and I’m wearing Milk-Bone underwear.”
“I’m not unemployed. I’m a consultant… I consult my bank account and realize I need to find a job.”
George also shined in roles in Fletch, House, Forever Young, and his hilarious SNL sketches, especially as one of the Bears Superfans shouting, “Da Bears!”
His humor was effortless, his presence warm, and he was the kind of actor who made you feel like you actually knew him. He’ll always be Norm to us—holding down his usual stool and making the bar feel like home.
Rest easy, George. Thanks for all the laughs. 🍻
