John Ratzenberger, The Mailman From ‘Cheers,’ Has An Idea On How To Save USPS

John Ratzenberger, who played the mailman Cliff from the TV show Cheers, has an idea on how to save the USPS. USPS has been struggling since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. However, tensions are high as many are considering voting by mail due to the pandemic, but many politicians are aiming to drive people away from utilizing that option amid voter fraud.

“You know the post office is in a little bit of a pickle right now,” says John. “It’s certainly in the news, being bounced back and forth so I had an idea. Why not do all your Christmas shopping early at the post office store?”

The former TV mailman recorded the video upon the request of musician Tim Kasher via the Cameo video service. Cameo is a service where you can pay celebrities to make personalized videos for you. The video was posted to all of Tim’s social media accounts where the video ended up picking up some steam.
