Don't let George Wendt's gentle and faithful "faithful "cheer" regular norm Peterson fool you; the late actor spent some wild time with the actor.

Wendt died at the age of 76 on Tuesday, suffering from health problems, and was "cheered" in 1982 after an audition involving a word: "beer."

But his subtle comedy timing and authenticity quickly made his character an idol in 1980s television.

Winter reunited with former "Cheer" actors Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson on their "Everyone Knows Your Name" podcast, and the three quickly began to recall their stand-up pranks, which were very similar to their characters making jokes with each other.

"Dangerous!" Fans slammed the contestants for lack of clues about "obvious" triple archives about "cheers".

Danson revealed that when the actors noticed another actor during rehearsal “who came across a beautiful speech or something, we would shine in our eyes and we would go ‘Oh, oh, we’re here for you at night.”

However, the actors won’t get support when filming, but will shoot at the actors.

He continued: "I think there was actually a shot, or at least it was a city legend, and you can see a spit bullet in your hairline, one of us managed to land one while doing our own (speaking).

Winter replied, “I will never forget that I hit you at Uvira at once.” “You are laughing like that, your mouth opens, I see, that’s the Zen moment.”

Danson also recalls the actor's special interview live with Jey Leno after the final episode of 1993, and then with Jey Leno.

He said the actors were taken to Boston’s Bowl and Finch Bar, a few hours before they attended the Tonight Show, which was the look of the bar on the show.

"What are you doing in the bar? You started drinking, and then you started smoking, so when Jay Leno looked up from the notes, they went, they went, 'five, four, three, two...' He looked up at us for the first time and started spinning, his eyes started spinning, 'Oh, mine-. We got a lot of S--for that, remember?" Danson said.

Winter said it might be Leno’s first live show, adding that the “Tonight Show” host may never do another live show.

"I won't blame him, we're in a bad condition," Harrelson said.

Wendt, who is from Chicago's Second City improvisation background, revealed that the actors kept the show fresh in Season 11 with not overdoing it, and they may have been overdoing it.

“After a while, John (Ratzenberger) and I were sitting there with each other—I was talking about eighth or ninth grade stuff—they would go, ‘OK, next scene, standby,’, I would look at John and say, ‘Are there any ideas?’ He would go,’” No. ” …So, you will pray that the first line is not your point.”

The actors also like to play pranks with each other.

Ted Danson puts more cold water into the hope of "cheering" party: "I think it's a little sad"

Danson remembers that about six months after "Pants" Harrelson "Pants" during the show, Wendt and Kirstie Alley, who attended the show at Season 6 bar manager Rebecca Howe, who Wendt brought him back.

He said he went to the locker room for a shower, and Wind knocked on the door and said, "Do you mind shave when I came in and shave in the shower?" I went, "No, it's great." So I don't remember your door was open, I think you took the shower door, opened the shower, Kirsty brought the Polaroid in all my glory.

In fact, Wendt and Ratzenberger, who played the knowledgeable cliff, helped Alley explode the show.

In 2023, during an actor party at the ATX TV Festival in Austin, Texas, Winter said the actors had dinner before Alley’s first show when they realized they should have bought the actress — not at dinner — a gift.

Danson, Harrelson and Rhea Perlman, who played Carla in the show, all said they were busy, so Wendt and Ratzenberger were commissioned to get gifts.

While driving down Melrose in Hollywood, they saw a 5-largest sporting goods store.

"John is gone, 'Do you want to buy her a shotgun?'" Wender told the audience.

He said to the crowd, "I laughed for about five minutes like you." "And immediately entered the parking lot and we bought her a freakin shotgun. ... John and I were never given a gift again."

"I think you even wrote on the card, 'You have to open a way out.'" Ratzenberger added: "

Wendt told the Still Hollywood podcast in December that now, the actors are "shocked" but "Kirstie loves it".

On Danson and Harrelson’s podcast, Wendt recalls the actor’s “Hooker” played by men in the show in the “female heavy” plot, focusing on Shelley Long’s characters Diane and Perlman’s Carla.

"John just bought a boat and he was eager to show it off, so we cooked this for escape," Winter said.

Danson said they had been “smashed to death” when he and Harrelson arrived on the ship, and they both called out the show from the phones sent out, saying they were feeling uncomfortable.

“I think someone said, ‘I’m seasick, hey,’” Winter, joked, “I’m under pressure.”

Danson said Harrelson asked him to try mushrooms for the first time before riding the bike.

He added: "I think I've eaten a lot of mushrooms."

The men then took off to Catalina, a resort island off the coast of Los Angeles, and quickly attacked the remaining waves of the Mexican hurricane.

"There is still a huge swelling, so people who aren't on the mushrooms will almost get seasick. But I'm sitting there getting more and more frightened, whatever you get, whatever you get, or anything on the mushrooms," the "Carrier Your Passion" star remembers.

Danson said he saw Harrelson looking relaxed and reached out to the bunk bed, so he decided to go up deck and try to calm down.

He told Winter: “I’m here, sitting next to you, you look at me, you go, ‘Are you high?’ I nodded a little annoyingly and John was like, “Oh, cry loudly.” "But you spent a minute or two in the next 45 minutes and said, "Breathe" because I really forget to breathe and it feels like I'm dying, you'll poke me."

“He is our lifeguard,” added Windert’s Danson, who said he fainted while he didn’t make any mushrooms.

Danson called there and returned to the worst four hours of his life.

The next day, the actors were all chewed.

"John is gone, 'Do you want to buy her a shotgun?'"

- "Cheer" actor George Wendt's welcome gift to Kirstie Alley.

"That should have been a luxury, but I think (James) Burrows (the co-creator of 'Cheers') should have rented a helicopter with the girls and brought them to the dock, and when we left the boat, 'Okay,' Well, a scene started.' "Oh, Jesus." ”

Danson said the producers told them if they let the show let them know: "But that's not handsome guy, Jimmy," he told Burrows.

Although it is often fooled, the actors are also emotional.

Danson remembers Nicholas Colasanto, who played coach on the show, died in the third season, and his heart condition made him forget, and he began to cover every surface of the scene with his lines, including a friend about a friend who died, who almost seemed like he was still here. ”

He said the actors noticed the line when they first returned to the scene after Cora Santo's death.

"I think we all burst into tears because that's how we feel. Then, over the next four to five years, when we come down to say hello, we're going to have a ceremony and everyone touches (the line)' It's almost like he's here."

One day, he said that on the off-season wall, the painter painted the painter online on the wall, saying, “We are all quitting and we are angry when we come back.”

The actors also insisted that the photo of Cora Santo holding Geronimo in the locker room was hung on the wall of the suit in honor of him.

On Tuesday, Danson paid tribute to Winter, saying in a statement to several media outlets: "It's hard for me to hear that George is no longer with us. I sent all my love to (Wendt's wife) Bernadette and the children.
