You know how we keep saying that the only industries safe from this tanking economy are booze and porn? And you know how that keeps proving to not be true? Here it is again:
Eddie Doyle, who has bartended at the inspiration for "Cheers" since 1974, has been fired. The reason given by the bar owner is the economy.
The real-life counterpart to Cheers is Boston's Bull & Finch, and after the debut of "Cheers" in 1982, Eddie was serving 5,000 patrons a day. Eddie spread around his financial success with charities, is not bitter about his job loss, and may have a memoir in the works.
