I remember when this happened live. When Woody began singing, my Grandmother and I smiled so hard. She always let me watch SNL as a kid, and I love the hell out of her.
I think the sign of a good actor/actress is being able to take the butt of a joke. She clearly got it here, and was able to support her Cheers' co-stars. RIP
Never seen the opening monologue of the Kirstie Alley SNL episode, WOW! So powerful! She acts as if she's surprized they're there, but I'm sure she knew.
@@dustypeterson1979 I remember that happening when she hosted to promote the Cheersw finale. Other cast members played her fellow Cheers cast members ion that case. I mostly remember Adam Sandler playing Rhea Perlman/Carla.
How cool that they all showed up to support her -- Grammar I knew could sing, but Woody sounded pretty good too. The hiding of Wendt was a nice surprise. She was a very good sport in the "Bellisima" sketch where the guys all were all over her -- I doubt they could get away with that NOW. RIP, you beautiful, talented woman.
God, this was so good. I can watch this clip all day ! I loved watching Cheers, and I loved the great chemistry between the cast. I still watch the reruns today, so you can imagine why this bit is so awesome to me. Thank you SNL for uploading this.
I just heard Kirstie Alley passed away at the age of 70 from battling cancer, it's so upsetting cause I luv her from Look Who's Talking films, and where she was on Scream Queens Season 2. May she rest in peace 🙏😔
@@Erin.56 I remember one Vulcan who wouldn't tell Trip Tucker her age, except to say she'd be 66 on her next birthday. I wish Kirstie could've lived to be 72+ on her next birthdays.
My one and only encounter with Woody Harrelson was in Beverly Hills where he was yelling at paparazzi for following him around and taking his pictures. Right in front of the Roots store.
Everytime I hear the theme song I'm instantly uplifted. I fall asleep to this show every night for the past probably 6+ years. I was too young when the show came out but remember hearing the theme song in the other room as a kid when I was made to go to bed. When I found it again in my later years I was instantly hooked and immediately knew it was the best show I'd ever seen. I can relate to every personality of each character. I think every single character main or secondary were essential in this show. I think the extras can't even be left out from the success of this show
I remember the next time Kirstie Alley hosted, she did this same opening monologue, but THIS time it was the SNL cast members playing the cast members of Cheers! Adam Sandler as Rhea Pearlman?! Believe it!
REAL affection, real humor, real depth - look at the audience - savoring - the MOMENT. Not ripping out goddamn smartphones to take a 2inch video that 100s of other people would take anyways. I wish humans would just slow the hell down and take a breath. Maybe less shootings and people wouldn't walk around looking like they're gonna snap
This was amazing! Love you and miss you a lot, Kirstie! You were a darling angel and such a fucking sweetheart, you will always be in our hearts and in reruns, we'll never forget you, hon! Such sweet sorrow!
When I was a kid watching Cheers in its first run in prime time, I used to think that Woody Harrelson was the original singer of the theme song lmao talk about a full circle moment 😆 🤣
The next time she hosted, it was hilarious, the cast dressed up as the cheers cast, and sandler was dressed up as rita pullmans character, walking on his knees. The removed it from the streaming episodes and its not on youtube.....wtf.
Okay... alright! Man up! No crying!.... This is the prettiest and warmest monolegue ever.. Greetings everyone from Turkey.. oh btw Noorrmmm !!! Hey they seemed so happy I don't know why... oh actually Cliff is not there... it's the reason and Carla must have got the bar... And coach... r.i.p

Woody was great singing Elvis songs in Zombieland Double Tap!
She was a good team player letting everyone else in on the limelight there. RIP KA

Is my favorite part about the video ❤🎉
I think the sign of a good actor/actress is being able to take the butt of a joke. She clearly got it here, and was able to support her Cheers' co-stars. RIP
And she was never on Frasier and Lisa Kudrow was fired from Frasier
@@nadiashireensiddiqi she was never on Frasier by her choice due to her loopy scientology faith
Don’t know why, but this made me tear up for a moment. RIP Mrs. Alley
You're not the only one 😭
It’s called nostalgia and ditto
Yeah, you're not alone buddy.
Was at the actual Cheers in Boston…. Much different than the TV version, but still to this day, everybody was friendly.And still gives me chills
me too!! 😢

They actually surprised her. She thought it was gonna be other SNL cast members singing along

What a great opening monologue! One of the best….. think this was 1991? Kirstie was 40 here. RIP KIRSTIE 1951-2022
That long ago? I remember watching this live! 😭

:) She apparently gave Dana Carvey full permission to lick all over her face. Great sport, wonderful actor that Kirstie Alley. R.I.P.
@firmamentsyndicateit’s my favorite part. Such a sweet voice. Perfect for that moment.
Chokes me up every time.
aww, now I"m crying. She was so lovely.
It was such a great theme song and cast
One of the most epic SNL monologues ever.
(Kelsey Grammer finally got to host in 1994, BTW.)
God, this was so good. I can watch this clip all day !
I loved watching Cheers, and I loved the great chemistry between the cast. I still watch the reruns today, so you can imagine why this bit is so awesome to me. Thank you SNL for uploading this.
We also need the one with SNL cast as the Cheers cast 🙏🏻
I can't believe she's gone now. 😭
@@BobSince1981 Very sad news. She was a wonderful, charming beautiful woman. May she rest in peace
Just like me... I've watched it about 30 times today. Absolutely awesome !
I could swear that when George Wendt comes out from the horn section everyone is shouting "Norm!"
I just heard Kirstie Alley passed away at the age of 70 from battling cancer, it's so upsetting cause I luv her from Look Who's Talking films, and where she was on Scream Queens Season 2. May she rest in peace 🙏😔
71
@Jc food and music mondain excursions that's what I meant but I didn't have time to check my comment before posting it.
71…. She would have been 72 in January 2023
@@Erin.56 I remember one Vulcan who wouldn't tell Trip Tucker her age, except to say she'd be 66 on her next birthday. I wish Kirstie could've lived to be 72+ on her next birthdays.
Fuck off, she was her funniest on CHEERS.
Hard to believe it's been 30 years. Time really flies.
When George Wendt comes out from the band pit. Brilliant.
I screamed NORM ! just now rewatching it
It was a fantastic surprise!
Norm!!
It looks like Kirstie never gave George a hug.
Loved her and all the guys! Great chemistry
RIP KA. Wonderful Person. Great cast. Great Show.
I met Woody Harrelson once in Eugene oregon. He was the nicest person you would ever talk to.
My one and only encounter with Woody Harrelson was in Beverly Hills where he was yelling at paparazzi for following him around and taking his pictures. Right in front of the Roots store.
@@hottuna2006Good, fck the paparazzi
This was always one of my favorite SNL monologues. RIP, Kirstie.
I just discovered this clip on IG. I’ve now watched it a dozen times today …and it’s only 9am
Don’t worry, Kelsey. You’re the only one who got a spin-off.
RIP Kirstie. You were golden.
The character of Nick had a spinoff as well, but obviously wasn't in this bit.
@@gluechunk yep. Rhea Perlman was in that. The Tortellis
And don’t forger “Hello, Norman!”
Kelsey Grammer would go on to host Season 24, Episode 2, aired Oct 3, 1998.
11 years worth! I'd put Kelsey's net worth up against any of those guys, even Danson's
Man the studio audience lost their damn minds at this. Hard not to smile at how excited they all were!
Thanks Kristie for the fond memories. This brought a tear to my eyes.
273 episodes of pure magic

Impossible to find that clip for some reason.
That whole episode is on Internet Archive under "Saturday Night Live S18E18 - Kirstie Alley".
Rest In Peace Ms alley

The perfect SNL monologue
I love this so much!!!!! RIP Kirstie
She was awesome on cheers. Sad she's gone
Sideshow Bob can sing!
Don't know how many times I've seen this. Bri ngs back great memories .I love it

Amazing. Miss you all. Miss those thank god its thursday comedy nights.
Great cast, with chemistry off Cheers as well as on.
They were a very tight knit group in the later years after Kirstie Alley replaced Shelley Long.
Tears in my eyes when the biggest pop was norm 🙃
thanks for the memories!! RIP Kirstie Alley!!
I cried, loved the show especially being from Boston
The next time she hosted, it was hilarious, the cast dressed up as the cheers cast, and sandler was dressed up as rita pullmans character, walking on his knees. The removed it from the streaming episodes and its not on youtube.....wtf.
Frasier is GOAT.
Love you all, Forever!
Great moment indeed!

Would've been totally killer if the audience went "Norm!" when George Wendt came up.
Rest In Peace beautiful 😢
That was such a great surprise when she hosted it. 😢
The cheer for norm was the best
Rest in Piece Kirstie
This was so good.
❤️💖❤️
Rest In Peace.
I miss these days
Those
Guess John Ratzenberger and Rhea Perlman couldn't make it.
Yeah I was wondering the same.
For me its sad that after two years they ended the show.. Best sitcom ever.. I watch it daily..
Two? Try 11
@@SamiLo2 I think she meant the show ended two years after the original airing of this SNL episode.
Da bulls, da bears
No series on TV is even in the conversation with Cheers. Greatest..Show..Ever…
Rebecca Howe is one of my favorite characters of all time.
R. I. P.
Who else is tearing up to this after Kyrstie’s passing? 🥹
The. GREATEST. 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
I think Norm got the biggest cheers (pun intended). Probably my favorite all-time sitcom character.
LOVE HER!
Fortunately Kelsey would host SNL 3 years later. And again 4 years after that.
Loved her! Gone too soon.
Ted Danson, George Wendt, Woody Harrelson and Kelsey Grammer!
Didn't realize that these guys can actually sing

Never met, never saw you in person but thank you Kirstie!
Don't worry everyone, Kelsey Grammer would go on to host Season 24 Episode 2, aired Oct 3, 1998.
She was part of my childhood love and miss you rip...
RIP kristie alley so shout out to all who still watches reruns of Cheers or any of the movies she casted in.
Us who grew up in the late 80s early 90s lived in a great magical time in America.
Woody has a nice singing voice
he really does !
Loved this! RIP Kristie Alley
I can’t name 5 shows on tv anymore. Cheers was special.
I kept expecting Shelley Long to appear and make things awkwardly hilarious.
Oh God no!
I would expect that if Rhea Pearlman hosted.
RIP Kirstie :(
I love this!!
Aww love this! 😭😍❤️
Iconic ❤️
There is a huge void in entertainment without her 😢
Loved her on CBB!
How does this not have more likes? JFC.
Beautiful❤❤❤❤❤
Rip🕊🙏❤️
Aww that was brilliant 👏
I'm old enough to remember when SNL was funny like this.
This hit so different. RIP Kristie
