“Cheers” star George Wendt has died. He was 76.

The actor, who portrayed Norm Peterson in the sitcom, “died peacefully in his sleep while at home” on Tuesday, his rep told The Post.

“George was a doting family man, a well-loved friend and confidant to all of those lucky enough to have known him,” a family spokesperson said in a statement.

“He will be missed forever. The family has requested privacy during this time,” the rep continued.

A cause of death has not been revealed.

Wendt starred on all 11 seasons of “Cheers” from 1982 to 1993.

In 2021, he recalled auditioning for the NBC comedy show in Chicago magazine, saying he “needed to look like a guy who wanted to have another beer.”

Wendt’s character was best known for his catchphrase: “Afternoon, everybody.”

The “Fletch” star worked alongside Rhea Perlman, Ted Danson, John Ratzenberger, Woody Harrelson, Kelsey Grammer and the late Kirstie Alley.

Wendt’s iconic time on “Cheers” earned him six Emmy nominations for best supporting actor in a comedy series.

Wendt, who was born in Illinois, got his start in acting after being expelled from Notre Dame during his junior year when he received a 0.0 GPA, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

“I basically quit and didn’t inform the university,” the late actor said in an interview with the Kansas City Star in 2016.

“I’d moved off campus my junior year, and I didn’t think it through. I didn’t have a car. It was cold. I never went to class.”

He then earned a degree in economics from Rockhurst College in 1971 before becoming a comedic actor in the mid-1970s.

He was also known for his roles in the 1985 movie “House” and the 1992 film “Forever Young.”

Wendt is survived by his wife, Bernadette Birkett, whom he tied the knot to in 1978, and his children Hilary, Joe and Daniel. He also had two step-children: Joshua and Andrew.
