Everybody Knows Your Name: Cast of ‘Cheers’ Reunite at 2023 Emmy Awards

It’s 2024 and our troubles are all the same: The cast of Cheers have reunited at the 2023 Emmy Awards on Monday night. The cast — Ted Danson, Rhea Pearlman, Kelsey Grammer, and John Ratzenberger — appeared onstage behind their infamous bar, with George Wendt doing his signature “Norm!” arrival.

They presented two awards; Shelley Long and Woody Harrelson were the only cast members not present. Cheers garnered 117 Emmy nominations across its 11 seasons, which ran from 1982 to 1993. Its theme song, “Where Everybody Knows Your Name,” landed at No. 13 in Rolling Stone ‘s recent list of the Greatest TV Theme Songs of All Time .

It also marks the first time the cast has publicly gotten together since the death of Kirstie Alley in December 2022 (a photo of her was hanging on the bar’s wall onstage). “Kirstie was truly brilliant in it,” Danson said upon the actress’ death. “Her ability to play a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown was both moving and hysterically funny.

She made me laugh 30 years ago when she shot that scene, and she made me laugh today just as hard. As I got off the plane, I heard that Kirstie had died. I am so sad and so grateful for all the times she made me laugh. I send my love to her children. As they well know, their mother had a heart of gold.

I will miss her.”.
