A&E is developing a sketch comedy show with actor George Wendt, most famous
for playing the pudgy guy in the movie House. The show, titled A Guy Walks Into a Bar, will feature
Wendt and actor George Gray (Junkyard Wars, Weakest Link) telling jokes in a bar as the jokes
themselves are acted out as sketches. Despite the network, this show sounds neither artsy nor entertaining. It may
be the worst idea for a sketch show since Kelsey Grammer's The Sketch Show. Maybe there's a
Cheers curse that affects anyone from that show who tries to create a sketch comedy.George Wendt walks into a bar

George Wendt is best known for his character "Norm Peterson" on Cheers. His character has some of the best one liners ever delivered on network TV sitcoms.

I think he's most famous for Cheers, actually. Or was that a joke?
