Henry Winkler and Ron Howard have a ‘Happy Days’ reunion at the Emmys
It was a "Happy Days" reunion at the 2024 Emmys.
Henry Winkler and Ron Howard took the stage at the Sept. 15 awards ceremony, stepping into a re-creation of their beloved set to celebrate the show's 50th anniversary.
Winkler, known as cool guy Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli, and Howard, who portrayed Richie Cunningham, presented the award for best directing for a comedy series.
Before they presented, Winkler gave Howard a shout-out for recently winning an Emmy for directing the documentary “Jim Henson Idea Man.”
Then, the duo noted something important was missing.
"Did you notice anything, though?" Howard said.
"Well, there was no music," Winkler added.
Howard suggested Winkler pull out his old moves.
"Well, I have solution. You know, you can do it," Howard said. Winkler said he was "out of practice" before hitting the juke box.
The "Happy Days" theme song started playing — cue the nostalgia.
“Happy Days,” which ran for 11 season from 1974 to 1984, followed a Milwaukee family in the 1950s and '60s. The show spawned multiple spin-offs, including “Laverne & Shirley” and “Mork & Mindy.”
The duo have had other reunions.
Back in February, the two shared a photo of another reunion in Australia.
