Kelsey Grammer paid tribute to his former Cheers co-star George Wendt, who died earlier this week at age 76. He died peacefully in his sleep. Grammer called in to Gayle King's SiriusXM show to speak about his former co-star's legacy.

Zoom out: Wendt fondly remembered his Chicago years, telling the Tribune in 1990 about the freedom of growing up in Beverly. "We could just jump on the Western Avenue bus and eventually be at Riverview — at Western and Belmont — without even having to ask our parents if we could go."
