  • Adam opens the show telling Henry about his very first showbiz experience when they met each other back in the 90s. Henry talks about his HBO comedy series Barry and working with Sylvester Stallone on The Lords of Flatbush. Adam asks about Henry’s family who fled Nazi Germany and his upbringing in New York. This leads Henry to talk about his tough childhood, not knowing he had dyslexia, and the importance of being grateful. Adam asks Henry about his career after Happy Days and being typecast as the Fonz. Before they wrap, Adam asks Henry about when he first came out to Los Angeles with only a month’s worth of rent and food money.

    This is what a nice person Henry Winkler is. Years ago my Aunts friend who was a teacher in Wisconsin ,sent out bookmarkers to actors to autograph so the school could auction them off to raise money. Most did not come back. One day she opened her door and there was a big box filled with scripts from Happy Days autographed by the cast. Clothing , etc from the show. What a nice guy. That was above and beyond and took time.

    My daughter and I met Mr. Winkler in Philadelphia three years ago. So gracious and down to earth. He autographed a picture of himself as the Fonz on his motorcycle for us. It is proudly displayed in my office. He is the epitome of cool! 😎 God bless you Henry.

    I was 8 years old when Happy Days premiered. HUGE fan of Henry Winkler. What I loved about Fonzie was that no matter how tough he seemed to be, the gentle man that Henry is still came through. Such a truly gentle soul.

      I gave your comment a thumbs up because I'm sure you are right that it's a shitty evil industry. But there are many actors and actresses in the industry that share Mr. Winkler's kindness and humility. I could name several but none need my backing. But Mr. Winkler is, indeed, a standout in the entertainment industry not only for his talent but also for his humanity.

    I first met Henry backstage on the Paramount lot in 1976, 30 minutes before a Friday night live taping. He was at the height of his first huge wave of long-term success as 'The Fonz', I was a 13 year-old boy excelling in sports and lunch and struggling for "C"'s in classwork.
    Henry could not have been more interested, open, positive, and gracious to me that evening. I have never forgotten a moment of it.
    I have been around Henry on many, many social, personal, and public occasions since that evening nearly 50 years ago and he has never changed.
    In my life I have been lucky enough to be friends with, have associations with, stumble into, meet, etc. more World Champions in more sports than you would care to read, Academy Award winners, Grammy, Emmy, & Tony winners, Astronauts, TV Stars, Nobel Prize winners...
    I have always used Henry Winkler as the absolute barometer of how an individual should treat people, particularly fans.

He also had some amazing tidbits like he actually was supposed to be in Kindergarten Cop but his lines were all cut.. could have been even better then it was..

I asked him if it was true he couldn't really ride and he admitted it and then went on to tell me that the Fonz's bike was the same bike Bud Ekins jumped the fence on in The Great Escape - I told him I rode a Triumph in part because of Happy Days - I really did become that kind of guy and I could see almost a slight disappointment in his eyes about that.... :)

    Why hasn't Mr. Winkler made a movie about Dyslexia? I have it and when I was a kid in grade school I almost committed suicide several times because I felt so stupid and worthless. I would study my ass off for tests in school and totally failed. My Parents loved me and would have me take summer school but it didn't help. I didn't even try to learn in high school. High school just shoved me thru . When I graduated and just before I joined the Air Force I was listening to a interview with Sonny and Sher when Sher was talking about how bad she did in school just like I did and said she was dyslexic. That is when I realized what was wrong with me and gave me some self respect back. Then I taught myself how to combat it to a point. Mr. Winkler needs to make a movie about Dyslexia.
