'Cheers' Stars George Wendt and John Ratzenberger Reunite as the Show's Bar Goes Up for Auction

The stars of Cheers are making one last toast for old times' sake.
George Wendt and John Ratzenberger, who respectively played Norm Peterson and Cliff Clavin on the hit NBC sitcom, reunited 30 years after the last episode was filmed to say goodbye yet again to the iconic bar, which is now up for auction in Dallas.
The bar — the actual physical structure, including the "bar counter in three sections with brass railing, burgundy leatherette barstools," and "back bar unit" — is up for grabs to the highest bidder as part of Heritage Auction's James Comisar Collection.
The bar is part of a larger auction of nearly 1,000 pieces from some of the most popular shows in TV history, including Gunsmoke, I Love Lucy, Star Trek, The Office, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and All in the Family.
"Preserving this, and Archie Bunker's set, that's a big deal," said Ratzenberger. "That's a real big deal because all these things are part of our lives."
