ok I just read something interesting about Kerry

[JohnKleeb]

He apparently was in the audience for the SNL 15th anniversity, was on Cheers once, and speaks some Norweigan. Interesting.

1. He is just an all around cool person

I'd have a beer with him and I don't even drink. :)

2. Hell, *

3. I never knew he was on Cheers

Looks like I'll have to start watching to catch that episode :)

4. Norm and Cliff mistake him for a local television newscaster...

...he looked VERY young. And he wasn't that bad--true, it was a brief scene, but he was natural before the camera, not freaked out like some non-actors (Madonna comes to mind) are.

5. ahh neat

He plays himself according to IMDB.

6. haha

How did I know you were looking at IMDB? He is also only the third Presidential candidate to have been divorced. His daughter Alexandra Kerry also acted in a couple movies and directed one I believe.

7. Cheers would throw in some local Boston "celebs" from time to time....

...Tip O'Neill was on once--he was sitting at the bar--not even sure if he had a line or not. I think it was also another case of mistaken identity.
