All I can get
Anyone remember the George Wendt ads for the Calgary Stampeders ?

Then Stamps president Normie Kwong and CFL Commissioner Doug Mitchell also make an appearance. Voiceover was the late local radio personality Norm Edwards.

My favourite was always:
"NORM!! How's life treating you?"
- "Like it caught me in bed with it's wife..."

The episode where gay men start visiting Cheers is surprisingly progressive, especially for the time. Norm has a great line at the end.

James McEachin, a prolific actor in the 70s and 80s. Did a bunch of episodes of Matlock in the 1st season, and was a regular in the Perry Mason stuff with Raymond Burr.
Did a ton of guest shots in the regular gamut of shows, including Trapper John, Hunter, TJ Hooker, Buck Rogers, Six Million Dollar Man, Quincy ME, the Rockford Files, and more.
He died in January but was just announced now. He also was in the Korean War, survivin an ambush where he was left for dead, and after acting, became an award-winning author.
