May 20, 1993 –
The last episode of the series Cheers aired on this date.
While the gang was smoking cigars and discussing the meaning of life, Frasier Crane’s voice started trembling, as he sounded somewhat emotionally distraught while trying to finish his sentence. Given the fact that the series finale did not end with Sam Malone selling the bar, or anything bittersweet of that nature, Kelsey Grammer struggling with his words was not scripted, as he was genuinely sad while filming the very last scene with his co-stars of nine years. George Wendt adlibbed the comment regarding Cliff’s perception of shoes, in an effort to ease Kelsey Grammer’s heart a little.
