George Wendt, best known for his portrayal of the iconic Norm Peterson on the beloved sitcom Cheers, has passed away at the age of 76. According to reports, he died peacefully in his sleep.

Cheers enjoyed a remarkable 11-season run, becoming a cultural touchstone during its original broadcast from 1982 to 1993, just before the internet began to reshape entertainment.

Norm, characterized by his memorable entrances and steadfast presence at the bar, became synonymous with the show’s charm, often found enjoying a cold beer while delivering witty one-liners.

The Hollywood Reporter provides further insights:

George Wendt, the Beer-Loving Norm on ā€˜Cheers,’ Dies at 76

George Wendt, who effortlessly embodied the beer-loving everyman Norm Peterson throughout all 11 seasons of the legendary NBC sitcom Cheers, has died at the age of 76.

His family confirmed that he passed away peacefully in his sleep at home early Tuesday morning.

ā€œGeorge was a devoted family man and a cherished friend to all who had the privilege of knowing him,ā€ a representative for Wendt stated. ā€œHis absence will be felt profoundly. The family requests privacy during this difficult time.ā€

Born in Chicago and raised on the South Side, Wendt began his career in the 1970s with the iconic improvisational comedy troupe Second City, rooted in his hometown.

He later became a fixture on Saturday Night Live, portraying Bob Swerski, one of the enthusiastic ā€œsuperfansā€ who frequented Coach Mike Ditka’s restaurant in Chicago to cheer on ā€œDa Bears.ā€

Rest in peace, George. Your contributions to comedy and television will not be forgotten.
