As a child of the 70s and 80s, I can’t help but feel a surge of nostalgia as Richie and Fonzie reunite once more. The sight of Ron Howard and Henry Winkler on that recreated set of Arnold’s Drive-In transported me back to a time when life was simpler, and TV was a source of joy rather than stress.
Richie and Fonzie are back together again.
At the Emmy Awards, Ron Howard and Henry Winkler appeared together on stage, celebrating their reunion, reminiscent of the good old “Happy Days” days, marking the 50th anniversary of the show.
In a recreated version of Arnold’s Drive-In from the popular show, Winkler and Howard mentioned they weren’t called onto the stage during the show’s iconic theme song. Howard then encouraged Winkler to rectify the situation, prompting Winkler to perform a signature Fonz move. He slammed his fist on the jukebox, causing it to play “Happy Days” by Pratt & McClain automatically.
Howard has garnered three Emmys himself, whereas Winkler clinched the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for “Barry” in 2018. Interestingly, Winkler was nominated for his performance in “Happy Days” on three separate occasions as well.
Anticipating our get-together with EbMaster on Thursday, Jesse Collins, Emmys’ executive producer, expressed eagerness and asked, “I wonder if you feel we hit the right notes with the jukebox. There’s definitely a lot to discuss about the jukebox.
Initially, Howard played the primary character Richie Cunningham in “Happy Days,” a clean-cut, freckled young man, but he departed the sitcom following its seventh season to focus on directing. On the other hand, Winkler’s character, Arthur “The Fonz”/”Fonzie” Fonzarelli, who was initially a recurring character, moved to the main cast in Season 1. The smooth-talking Fonzie gained immense popularity, leading the producers of “Happy Days” to consider changing the show’s title to “Fonzie’s Happy Days” after its first season.
Fonzie’s influence extends beyond his character, as he played a significant part in the emergence of the term “jumping the shark.” This expression was born from an episode in Season 5 where Fonzie water-skied over a shark. The term is used to denote instances when a creative work strays too far by introducing ideas that contradict its original concept.
