I had the pleasure of meeting the entire Cheers staff at one of their Christmas parties a long, long time ago. There were three extremely personable people. He was one of them. Very nice guy. BTW my ticket into this private party was that I was dating the secretary of the director. An incredible time in my life. Let's just say, I had springs in my legs at that time to even reach that rim.

Pretty amazing stuff. Good for you. Cheers was a huge part of my life as a teen in the 80s. I've gotta guess who the other two extremely personable people were... Woody Harrelson, and Ted Danson?

You got one right ... and it was NOT Woody Harrelson. In fact, he was the least personable. Ted Danson completely shocked me. One of the nicest guys imaginable considering I was just a nobody hanging on the arm of a beautiful woman. I'm going to bet no one is going to guess the third guy. He sat at my table for over an hour talking to me. That is, of course, a major clue. But, bets are on no one guesses. Another clue, not a regular, but several appearances. That ought to give it away.

I was going to guess Kelsey Grammer. But he was a regular.

Paul? I'm trying to figure out who was not a regular but on quite a bit. Or Roger Rees (Robin) if it's the post-Diane era.

Danson's stuff on Conan's podcast was really good so in that way I'm not all that surprised as I feel like the people Conan jives with are pretty genuine.

Nope, but all good guesses. Not really fair of me, so I'll just give it up. Keene Curtis

Yeah, I’ve heard that about Harrelson. Many years ago there was some kind of radio prank in played on him and he came across as incredibly pompous. I don’t remember the details, but he sure seemed like an ahole

NORM!! "What you up to Norm?"

"My ideal weight if I were 11 feet tall"

I saw him at the Minneapolis Orpheum about 18 years ago when he was performing in the "12 angry men" play. He was fantastic
I love the Henry Fonda version of "12 Angry Men." I bet a live performance of that classic would be wonderful.
