'Cheers' star George Wendt's final public appearance was with his nephew Jason Sudeikis nearly one year before death
Briefly

George Wendt, known for his iconic role as Norm Peterson on 'Cheers', passed away peacefully in his sleep after not being seen for nearly a year. His family expressed grief over the loss, emphasizing Wendt's warmth and friendship. He last appeared publicly at the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend in June 2024, humorously performing a skit alongside family and friends. Wendt's legacy continues through his memorable contributions to television and comedy, as well as the fond memories shared by loved ones and fans alike.
George was a doting family man, a well-loved friend and confidant to all of those lucky enough to have known him. He will be missed forever.
Wendt and Smigel hilariously reprised their roles as Bob Swerski and Carl Wollarski in the bit 'Super Fans', marking the first time they played the characters since Chris Farley's death in 1997.
Sudeikis stepped in as Farley's character, Todd O'Conner, and the comedic trio dressed in Chicago Bears gear to grill the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end.
