In the Ted Lasso finale, Mae straightens a picture of Geronimo hanging over the bar. That’s also in the Cheers finale; Sam straightens the same picture on a wall in the bar before he leaves. The picture on the Cheers set belonged to Nicholas Colasanto, the actor who played Coach - he kept it in his dressing room. The cast quietly put it on the wall as a tribute after he died. George Wendt, who played Norm on Cheers, is Jason Sudeikis’s uncle. A sweet, fan service way to say goodbye to a coach.
