Cheers Mailman John Ratzenberger Supports the USPS: 'Help Your Local Post Office'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

John Ratzenberger, who played mailman Cliff Calvin on the NBC sitcom Cheers, is urging people to support the United States Postal Service.

In a Cameo video shared on social media by musician Tim Kasher, the actor, 73, pleaded for Americans to support the USPS. The institution has come under fire by President Donald Trump due to his dislike for mail-in voting, the option many Americans will likely turn to in November thanks to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

"Hey everybody, John Ratzenberger here. That's right, the former mailman from the TV show Cheers," he said at the start of the video.

"Speaking of mailmen," Ratzenberger added, "you know the post office is in a little bit of a pickle right now. It's certainly in the news, being bounced back and forth."

6. That's a pretty complimentary bit to read.

Sounds like he’s a Republican but in other ways working for many of the same things we support.

7. I though Ratzenberger was a repuke trumper?

Between him and Tim Allen, it makes it hard to watch the Toy Story movies...

He sounds drunk, or at least mildy sauced, in the vid.

8. Same. Nt
