Jay Leno is hosting the Tonight Show for the last time, which reminds me of another NBC finale and a Red Sox connection. Back in 1993, Leno did his show live from Boston after the final episode of "Cheers." He interviewed the cast at the Bull & Finch pub, the real-life inspiration for the show. Does anyone else remember seeing Wade Boggs and Jim Rice sitting next to each other at the bar during the festivities?
A quick web search yielded nothing. Can anyone confirm my memory, or is dementia setting in?
Boggs had actually guest-starred as himself on "Cheers" a few years earlier, and the appearance is noted in his IMBD entry. But the crowd-shot cameo at the bar with Leno doesn't seem to be documented. --- Ernie Pantusso.
