90 Minutes Live with Peter Gzowski. I have 2 strong memories of that show. One was Gzowski cutting himself badly during a cooking segment. The other was a rare TV appearance by my guitar hero, Roy Buchanan, performing The Messiah Will Come Again.

During the 11 year run of NBC's Cheers, twenty-four people had credited/speaking roles playing themselves as characters. There are 24 green corrects up for grabs on this question. More than one reply is allowed, provided that you don't give a wrong answer, in which case, you will be eliminated from further competition on THIS question. Correctly naming a famous person who appeared on the show in an uncredited role will not count as correct or incorrect. Reply with any number of names you want, but if one or more of them in a single post is/ are incorrect, none of the correct answers in that reply count. I'll give clues after a while. Good luck!
