@RunningTiger123: The article is new enough, long enough, referenced, neutral and no copvio obvious. QPQ done. I'm fine with the special occasion request. The hook is sourced and interesting, but I do have one quibble: maybe specify Cheers? Or maybe just change "job" to "role"? Corachow (talk) 13:35, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Corachow: I had originally thought about writing it that way, but I thought it would be more amusing this way – to make it seem like a mundane job when he was actually in a well-known show (for people who don't know Danson). Does that help explain it, or should it be reworked? RunningTiger123 (talk) 17:28, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - I see your point, and I guess the link to his character in Cheers helps. Corachow (talk) 19:43, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
