The latest casualty of the economic downturn. Sam Malone. The
real Sam Malone from the
real Cheers in Boston got
canned.Eddie Doyle was the guy who really did know everybody's name, at least when he started working at the tavern that inspired the television show "Cheers."
Now Doyle is out of a job, laid off from "Cheers" after 35 years. The bar's owner has said a tough economy and sagging business forced the move, which was one of several layoffs.
Firing a bartender after 35 years? I guess those residual checks stopped coming in. Still, anyone that's every known
their bar, you have to know that this bar sucked ass as soon as the show hit the air.
