That's Right!


You Chose D "Sam" – That's Correct!

The Cheers character of bartender Sam Malone never appeared on Wings.

Airing from 1990-1997, Wings featured brothers Brian Hacket (Steven Weber) and Joe Hackett (Tim Daly), who attempt to run an airline on the New England island of Nantucket while surrounded by their wacky friends and employees. The show's cast also included Crystal Bernard, David Schramm, Rebecca Schull, Tony Shalhoub, and Thomas Haden Church.

Five characters from Cheers — Norm, Cliff, Frasier, Lillith, and Rebecca — "flew in" to make guest appearances on Wings. But the character of Sam Malone never did. What's more, no characters from Wings crossed over to any Cheers episodes, although Thomas Haden Church played an unrelated character on a Cheers episode prior to being cast on Wings.
