knows you name is finally sounding its
last call. But first, there's Last
Call! A Cheers Celebration, a series
retrospective hosted by Bob Costas.
Then (at 9:24) Shelley Long returns as
Diane, who's written an award-winning
movie based on Carla's life. The gang
watches in disbelief as she receives
her award on TV and gives the longest
acceptance speech in awards history.
Sam later phones Diane and the two
lapse into lies about their lives.
Diane tells him that she's married and
has three children. Sam tells her he's
married with four children - only to
have Diane show up the next day wanting
to have lunch with his "wife." Sam
panics and asks Rebecca, who has just
turned down a marriage proposal from a
plumber named Don, to pose as Mrs.
Malone. Mike Ditka and model Kim
Alexis are among the celebrities who
have cameos.
