John Ratzenberger, the postman on ‘Cheers,’ registers lawsuits for USPS


John Ratzenberger, who played beloved postman Cliff Clavin on the hit comedy “Cheers,” filmed a plea for people to support the post office.

“You know the post office is a bit of a pickle at the moment,” he said. “It sure is in the news, bouncing back and forth, so I had an idea. Why not all your Christmas shopping early at the post office store?”

The USPS has been in the headlines over concerns that the Trump administration is trying to undermine the agency months before election day in a year where many are expected to vote by mail because of the pandemic.

Ratzenberger recorded the announcement from the public service at the request of musician Tim Kasher via the Cameo video service where for a fee a celeb will record a message.

Kasher shared the video on his verified social media accounts.

“Cliff Clavin says” Save the post office! “,” Kasher wrote in the title of the video on his Instagram account. “I went to Cameo and asked John Ratzenberger for a plea for the American people to help save the post office – he replied! And it’s so great !! #saveusps #usps”

“Cheers” ran from 1982 to 1993 on NBC and has remained popular with reruns.
