Hollywood PrivacyWatch Fonzie’s Birthday …

10:51AM Seth | Hollywood PrivacyWatch Fonzie’s Birthday Edition!— On Yom Kippur (10/9?) I’m driving up Sepulveda, near the Getty Centre. I’m stopped as people are crossing the street to make it to services in time, and who crosses right before my path? Worst attorney in the world, Mr. Barry Zuckerkorn himself, HENRY WINKLER. (According to the IMDB, he also played Fozzie in American Graffiti, where he jumped sharks). He seemed to be late, in a rush to atone perhaps, but it was still very cool.

Richie and the Fonz Reunite For ‘Happy Days: The Obama Years’

5:36AM STV | See more Ron Howard videos at Funny or Die Today we offer a new pair of videos as an addendum to our recent, authoritative list of Dos and Donts for Making the Perfect Celebrity PSA. First up: Absolutely DO coax Ron Howard and Henry Winkler into whatever outlandish pro-Obama Happy Days reprise they can stand, such as the one after the jump that premiered today at Funny or Die. And if Andy Griffith agrees to join Howard for a bewigged ride all the way back to Mayberry, all the better. However: DO NOT, under any circumstances, enlist Rhea Perlman, Valerie Harper and/or Garry Freaking Marshall as your elder voice of reason. Especially Marshall! This election is just too close — and Georgia Rule far too recent — to risk some new, William Ayers-like smear campaign this late in the game. More »
