Whattya say to a beer Norm?

Some of the best delivered one liners in comedy history.

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

I kinda hope he crossed through gates (Pearly?), into the best tavern he could imagine. Yes, I know that's just a character he portrayed, but still....

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

There's a Norm in every neighborhood bar. I think I'm going to go down to the local neighborhood pub and have a beer in his honor this afternoon. RIP.

That was the best 18 minutes of my year so far. Well spent. Thanks for sharing.

Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

Wendt was an interesting guy, better actor than most people knew. I think he had a love/hate relationship with his Cheer's Norm character. It defined him, and also limited him professionally.

I thought it was his Bears superfan character that really defined his talents.

He also had a minor part in the movie Fletch with Chevy Chase.

Best 18 minutes I’ve ever given anyone that didn’t involve 17 minutes of cuddling.

Did you know?

Yes, Jason Sudeikis is indeed the nephew of George Wendt. Sudeikis's mother, Kathy Sudeikis, was Wendt's younger sister.
