henry is a very nice guy, i worked at the 4 seasons restaurant in NYC for over 25 years. a lot of celebrities ate at the restaurant over that time. one day he came in with john ritter and they were the only ones that came into the kitchen to thank the cooks in those 25 years.

@@JSark-by2ts sorry but i don't remember what they ordered. it was over 20 years ago and i didn't even know they were eating at the restaurant until they came into the kitchen afterward so i'm not sure what they ate. as to preparing something special, i don't think so, most of the celebrities that came in just ordered from the menu, but it was usually a standard practice to give them an hordurve( not going to even attempt to spell it right) and a free middle course

The Rocky script story is still blowing my mind!🤯 Think about all the cool stuff that never happened due to wrong turns in the universe.

Saw Lords of Flatbush as a kid never once thought I'd be watching 2 future great actors.

Was lucky enough to have met several celebrities when I worked in LA. Winkler was by far the nicest Celeb I ever met

Man I love Henry Winkler.. seems like such a great guy to be around.

This man is a national treasure.

I met Henry at at an art gallery in Santa Monica 22 years ago - I rode my triumph there and was in full motorcycle regalia, high cuffed Levis, engineer boots, leather jacket - I asked if it was true he couldn't actually ride and he told me this same story. I've told others and I suspect they didn't believe me so I'm glad to see him tell the same story here...

Had a friend meet him one time. Said he is THE nicest guy in the world

Gotta love Henry. Not only did he play one of TV's most beloved characters but he's been THE MAN behind the scenes for decades.

This is so good. I grew up watching Happy Days and loved "The Fonze." Henry Winkler is absolutely a great storyteller. Would be great if he did a podcast.

Probably the best celebrity true or false ever!!!!! Henry Winkler you're a legend!!! Can stop laughing!! 😂😂😂

I did the nod thing with Kiefer Sutherland years ago in Schiphol airport...he smiled and nodded back...probably grateful I wasn't going to bother him...just a polite moment.

Massive Henry Winkler fan!! he has such a good personality Thank you for being part of my childhood !! ❤️.

This might be the best celebrity interview ever. How has none of this info ever been revealed before? AAYYYYYYYY

Heard from someone who has met many celebrities and this guy remains as the nicest of them all.

So cool the story about the Fonz's motorcycle was the same motorcycle Steve McQueen rode in The Great Escape, because McQueen's leather jacket from that movie is the same jacket Colonel Hogan wore in Hogan's Heroes.

Henry Winkler is a national treasure.

Think about how good an actor Henry Winkler was! How nice, unassuming and funny he is... and he was the FONZ!

And then just like that it was over - *I WANT MORE HENRY WINKLER! DAMN IT!*

@beardley Let's say you have a set of lotto numbers - the same numbers, every week. Then, one week, you decide to not buy a ticket. And THAT'S the week your numbers come up. As painful as that might be, you can imagine that happening. That's essentially what happened. I get it - you can't buy every script. And, in fairness, the vast majority of scripts do suck and should, rightly, be rejected. It just that one - that diamond in the rough - that you saw and turned down. That's gotta hurt.

They didn't turn down the script, they bought it, but they wanted a different writer for the re-writes and Stallone wouldn't agree to that so he had Henry Winkler get it back for him.

Got to see Henry and thy Fan Expo last summer and he looked like the funnest guy. He was hugging everyone, taking pictures and having a good time with each person who went to see him

Italy here. Everybody still remembers and love the Fonz.

I've never seen an interview where the host asks why Henry never learned to ride. Thanks to this, he's indirectly given us the answer.

Henry is a good guy. He looked after sly by not screwing him over. I love seeing him in anything

"The Fonz" will ALWAYS be...the COOLEST CHARACTER EVER!!!!!...EVER!!!!!!!

Henry Winkler is the man period!!!!

"here's another story" The triumph motorcycle now sits in Richard Rawlings living room window.💯💖

His story of regret regarding McQueen reminds me of a time in the 90s when I was walking through Dulles Airport, and Henry was sitting on a low wall looking like he was absolutely miserable about something. I recognized him instantly, of course, but out of respect for his privacy I didn't speak to him. On the way home I began to wish that I had just gone up to him and said something like, "Mr. Winkler, I don't know what's troubling you right now, but I'd like to say that you brought a lot of joy into the lives of a lot of people for a lot of years, and that I know this because my family and I are among those people, so thank you." Here it is almost 30 years later and I still wish I'd said that to him.

this is really excellent stuff to see and hear. Thanks Rich for you efforts.

This is why I STILL TO THIS DAY LOVE HAPPY DAYS ❤👍

HENRY WINKLER IS HILARIOUS

Nope!

I could listen to his stories all day

People keep remarking about the mistake with the bikes, that McQueen rode a different bike in the movie. But listen carefully to what Henry says, he never said McQueen rode that bike in the movie, only that he jumped the fence with it, it may very well have been a stunt bike used only in that one scene. Just a thought.

I have a friend who works building sets. He says Henry Winkler is the nicest guy of all.

So humble and nice

Great to see you Henry living legend all the best God bless all your days ✝️🕊️🇺🇸

Celebrity True Or false turned into Story Time With Uncle Henry. 🤣🤣

Henry Winkler was is a class act and he helped Sly when Henry was the big star and could do things other people couldn't.

My God I so love Henry can listen to him for ever , so so such a loverly genuine person ,i so wish I could meet him but

What a fantastic guest

A nod from Steve McQueen aka “The Cooler King" is enough to last multiple life times. Henry is fantastic and brilliant actor too :)

Why are these "facts" (purportedly) just coming out? These are historical nuggets of information that should be common knowledge by now.

This interview was awesome!

One of his best acting performances was in An American Christmas Carol. He played the Character of Ben Slade.

Still love the Fonz !

Great storyteller, he’s got a way of pulling you into his story

How can you not love Henry Winkler lol I love how he tells stories.

One day I was walking down the street in L.A. with my head down when I heard a man say to me, "how are you today?" I looked up and it was Henry Winkler. Super nice man.

I can't tell if Winkler is drunk or...just such a legend he gets to interrupt whenever he feels like it because...he's the Fonz. No problems either way. You talk about this show with people a generation or two older than me...so people in their 50s or 60s...this guy is just the biggest icon they could imagine. He's hilarious though either way.

So many actors could fit tomes between their soul and character nowadays. Good to know you can't even squeeze a piece of paper between Jack Nicholson's.

It just strikes me as being so strange how Sylvester Stallone when he was so young and all these connections and money and influence to make things happen so early in life. I think we're missing a big part of what makes Sylvester Stallone what he is.

Rich loves that “production value” joke

Its amazing to me that someone who is beloved for playing an iconic character, is actually a greater character in real life.

Lots of love to you Henry!

Winkler is beyond legendary. Aye!!! 👍

Aaaa, It's "The Fonz", Aaaa! 👍👍

Stallone story is amazing.

Henry Winkler is a good person.

I never understand why a man would not want to learn how to ride a motorcycle! It is some of the greatest fun you become part of the machine I personally feel it's great!
