She was a good team player letting everyone else in on the limelight there. RIP KA

I remember when this happened live. When Woody began singing, my Grandmother and I smiled so hard. She always let me watch SNL as a kid, and I love the hell out of her.

Don’t know why, but this made me tear up for a moment. RIP Mrs. Alley

Never seen the opening monologue of the Kirstie Alley SNL episode, WOW! So powerful! She acts as if she's surprized they're there, but I'm sure she knew.

[Allie]

What a great opening monologue! One of the best….. think this was 1991? Kirstie was 40 here. RIP KIRSTIE 1951-2022

[TrumbullComic]

One of the most epic SNL monologues ever.

(Kelsey Grammer finally got to host in 1994, BTW.)

How cool that they all showed up to support her -- Grammar I knew could sing, but Woody sounded pretty good too. The hiding of Wendt was a nice surprise. She was a very good sport in the "Bellisima" sketch where the guys all were all over her -- I doubt they could get away with that NOW. RIP, you beautiful, talented woman.

aww, now I"m crying. She was so lovely.

I met Woody Harrelson once in Eugene oregon. He was the nicest person you would ever talk to.

I just heard Kirstie Alley passed away at the age of 70 from battling cancer, it's so upsetting cause I luv her from Look Who's Talking films, and where she was on Scream Queens Season 2. May she rest in peace 🙏😔

It was such a great theme song and cast

[-Th-]

God, this was so good. I can watch this clip all day !

I loved watching Cheers, and I loved the great chemistry between the cast. I still watch the reruns today, so you can imagine why this bit is so awesome to me. Thank you SNL for uploading this.

Don’t worry, Kelsey. You’re the only one who got a spin-off.

RIP Kirstie. You were golden.

[BrunoSilva-ecsr]

Hard to believe it's been 30 years. Time really flies.

[greyheidi]

Loved her and all the guys! Great chemistry

[plcmts]

I could swear that when George Wendt comes out from the horn section everyone is shouting "Norm!"

[TheChrisHype]

When George Wendt comes out from the band pit. Brilliant.

[mrhumpty]

RIP KA. Wonderful Person. Great cast. Great Show.

I remember the next time Kirstie Alley hosted, she did this same opening monologue, but THIS time it was the SNL cast members playing the cast members of Cheers! Adam Sandler as Rhea Pearlman?! Believe it!

I just discovered this clip on IG. I’ve now watched it a dozen times today …and it’s only 9am
