Woody Harrelson’s ‘Cheers’ co-stars vomited with actor ‘out of solidarity’ after on-set food mishap

Where everybody knows you puked.

Ted Danson and George Wendt revealed that they once vomited on the “Cheers” set with Woody Harrelson after the vegetarian actor found out he had eaten pork.

The gut-churning revelation came Friday as the cast gathered in Austin, Texas at the annual ATX Television Festival ahead of the 30th anniversary of the show’s series finale.

“[One night] we had catered Chinese food, and Woody found out after about 20 minutes that he was eating pork,” said Wendt, 74, according to IndieWire. “And he decided to go purge. So I told him, ‘Out of solidarity, I will purge with you.’ And Ted said, ‘I’ll purge, too.'”

According to Wendt, the trio had a wonderful time puking.

“There were only three stalls in the Stage 25 men’s room,” recalled the actor. “And I’ll tell you this: You don’t want to laugh while puking.”

The Post reached out to Harrelson, Wendt and Danson for comment.

Danson, 75, also recalled how the cast attempted to haze the “Zombieland” actor.

“We were all, like, 37 when Woody, at age 25, joined us, and it was like, ‘Okay, let’s kick his a–,'” joked Danson. “So we took him to the basketball court because we fancied ourselves pretty good basketball players — he killed us.”

After beating everyone in an arm wrestling competition, Danson and the others attempted to outsmart the actor in chess.

“Then we decided clearly we don’t have the physical edge. We’ll play chess,” he said, “and he killed us,” exclaimed “The Good Place” star.

According to the show’s producer, Glen Charles, Harrelson almost wasn’t cast.

“We were looking for a strong American boy with a Midwest background who comes to the big city and works at the bar,” said Charles. “We almost signed this gentleman, and our casting director came in and said, ‘I know you like this guy, but I want you to see somebody.’ And in walks Woody.” 

Charles revealed that even though the casting director wasn’t “right on the money,” there was something “so interesting” about Harrelson.

Danson also immediately took to the Texas native.

“Ted, after [Harrelson] left, said, ‘I know you think you got your guy, but there’s something I really like about this guy,'” said Charles.
