"Happy Days" are here again. Don Most, who played Ralph Malph on the iconic sitcom, is returning to TV as Emma's father on "Glee".
He told "Access Hollywood Live" that being on the set was like traveling back in time, because the crew is such a well-oiled machine, just like they were on "Happy Days".
"I have to tell you, the crew and the cast... it was almost like stepping back in time for me when I was on the set of 'Happy Days' because it was run like a well-oiled machine."
"I walked on the set and it was the same kind of thing with everyone being on top of their game. It was just great."
"Another thing that hit me was that I'm coming back on television at Tuesday nights at 8.. it was like deja vu."
Billy Bush asked Most if he was aware that his new "Glee" co-star Jane Lynch had a crush on both Ron Howard and Anson Williams, who played Richie Cunningham and Potsie Weber on "Happy Days".
Lynch, who was recently on "Access" discussing her book Happy Accidents, wrote that she used to write Williams fan mail and that he once responded back, asking her to write the network requesting more singing time for him.
Although Most won't be singing on tonight's episode, since Richie, Potsie and Ralph Malph had their own high-school band, he hopes to sing on "Glee" sometime in the future.
"That would be a blast!" he exclaimed.
