Ted Danson and John Raztenberger share statements after the passing of George Wendt, who played Norm Peterson.

Ted Danson is mourning the death of his longtime friend and former “Cheers” co-star George Wendt. For 11 seasons and more than 250 episodes, Wendt entertained fans of the NBC sitcom as the beer-loving Norm. While Norm sat at the same stool, Danson's Sam Malone poured him a cold one from just behind the bar.

One of George Wendt's final public appearances before his death was definitely a wholesome one. In August 2024, the actor, who died at age 76, reunited with his Cheers co-stars Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson for an episode of the Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast.
