Henry Winkler's Fonzie will reunite with his "Happy Days" cast this Sunday to raise funds for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin — home state of the iconic sitcom.
Joined by Ron Howard (Richie Cunningham), Don Most (Ralph Malph), Anson Williams (Potsie Weber), Marion Ross (Marion Cunningham), as well as writer Lowell Ganz plus a few special guests, the event will be available for a minimum donation of $1, with all proceeds aiding Joe Biden's campaign in the key battleground state.
"We’re thrilled a show made famous in Milwaukee is coming back home to help make Donald Trump a one-term President," said Ben Wikler, Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.
"We know all roads to the White House go through the Badger State, and with the cast of ‘Happy Days’ helping us raise money to take back the White House, we believe even more we can deliver a victory on November 3rd."

Scott Baio BLASTS Happy Days reunion to benefit Wisconsin Democrats as 'shameful'... and calls John Stamos 'desperate' for asking to play Chachi (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8858329/Scott-Baio-BLASTS-Happy-Days-reunion-benefit-Wisconsin-Democrats-shameful.html)
Scott Baio slams the Happy Days cast for Democratic fundraiser and John Stamos for asking to play Chachi (https://www.thewrap.com/scott-baio-ron-howard-john-stamos-happy-days-fundraiser/)
The vocal Trump supporter reacted to the news that Ron Howard was leading a fundraiser for the Wisconsin Democratic Party by tweeting: “What a shame to use a classic show like Happy Days about Americana to promote an anti-American socialist," he tweeted. Baio also went after Stamos for asking if he could play Chachi (http://www.justjared.com/2020/10/20/john-stamos-wants-to-play-chachi-in-announced-happy-days-reunion-hosted-by-democratic-party-of-wisconsin/). “Shouldn’t he be taking care of Aunt Becky,” Baio said, referring to Lori Loughlin's college cheating scandal.
80s Dude 10-23-2020, 12:19 PM I think Scott Baio is on the outs from his fellow cast members, not because of politics. But because of his behavior in the days after Erin Moran's death.
80s Dude 10-23-2020, 12:20 PM Pretty much all of the surviving cast members, except for Baio will be there. Not that I would ever miss seeing Baio at anything. Didn't like the character not the actor. Both were arrogant and immature.
someguy23475 10-23-2020, 03:56 PM Baio isn’t there because he’s a conservative. Who knows if that is part of the reason the cast won’t speak to him, or if it’s more the Erin Moran comments.
RetroGuy2000 10-23-2020, 04:25 PM Scott Baio appears to be on the outs with all of his cast members, from multiple series: he doesn't speak to his Happy Days fellow cast members, not to his Charles in Charge cast members, and dissed his Joannie Loves Chachi co-star, Erin Moran. Now he's disrespecting the Full House cast?! You can be opinionated, but he often takes things too far. He's a trainwreck, at this point.
thebabymysweet 10-24-2020, 03:43 AM I am siding with SCOTT BAIO concerning this particular issue.
Fellow television actor and Republican voter DEAN CAIN said it best :
"I LOVED HAPPY DAYS. IN FACT, ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS GROWING UP.
THIS RECENT NEWS ( politicized cast reunion as Democratic Party fundraiser ). NOT SO MUCH.
A STAGED READING OF THE SHOW TO SUPPORT A POLITICAL CANDIDATE OR PARTY
IS MUCH DIFFERENT THAN A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL SPEAKING OUT."
Another fan also posted her own disapproval :
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUPPORT ANY CANDIDATE ON A PERSONAL LEVEL.
ONCE IT BECOMES A FUNDRAISER, LIKE THE HAMILTON CAST IS DOING,
YOU ALIENATE HALF YOUR AUDIENCE."
( GemsCrystalsandWine )
P.S. Please be very careful whom you label a "trainwreck" around here.
Based on what I've heard and read, Scott is still on good terms with
his castmates from Happy Days. This is a matter of principle.
It also may have some connection to TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.
Desperate Democrats will do anything and everything to help Joe Biden and Kamala Harris win.

Many other sources said that Scott is on the outs with his Happy Days castmates. We know he has had problems with his young female costars, specifically Erin Moran and the girl on Charles in Charge who said Scott molested her when she was a minor. Scott Baio is a creature, not a human. What he said and did after Erin Moran's death is inexcusable.
Dr. Thong 10-24-2020, 07:39 PM I think Scott Baio is on the outs from his fellow cast members, not because of politics. But because of his behavior in the days after Erin Moran's death.
Could be, but the main reason he's not there is that he's a drumpf supporter and a conservative.
He is also, from what I understand, accused by Charles In Charge co-star Nicole Eggert of sexual harrassment.
You'll notice he wasn't included on the recent Garry Marshall documentary and it's been surmised that they didn't want him there because of the sexual harassment allegations.
OH Nuts! 10-25-2020, 08:03 PM I’m at it right now....great seeing Henry Winkler, Don Most, Anson Williams and Ronnie Howard.
someguy23475 10-25-2020, 08:05 PM Baio had a reunion somewhat recently with most of the Charles in Charge cast, minus Eggert and the other guy for obvious reasons. He seemed especially happy to see Willie Aames again. How much of this is actually true, only he and they know.
Baio jumped the gun about Erin Moran, but to be fair, many did indeed speculate it was drugs at first, myself being one of them. He phrased his message poorly to say the least, I think we all agree on that. I can’t recall if he ever apologized. I know he did share some memories of Moran later on, but I don’t recall him ever saying he was worry. Perhaps I missed it.
It’s been said for years being a conservative in Hollywood is a death wish. I think you can’t discount that being part of the reason Baio isn’t doing much these days. His attitude at times is another, however many others with worse have found work.
Avilos 10-25-2020, 10:13 PM I live in Wisconsin and watched it. Wonderful, almost 2 and a half hours long. Sadly at the beginning Henry revealed Marion Ross was not feeling well today so was not there. She was part of the rehearsal a couple of days ago and was doing great than. Hopefully she is ok.
I will say this - all the cast said they have fond memories of Scott and that he is entitled to his own opinions. They said nothing bad about him at all. Ron and Henry both said they were happy to have him on Arrested Development.
They read the first 2 episodes of Season 3. When the show started filming in front of a live studio audience. When Fonzie moves in and when Ralph accidentally destroyed his motorcycle. Which makes sense. That was when the show really grew in popularity. Also when the cast was still just the core group. As they explained this was before Arnold, Al, and yes Chachi ever appeared on the show. So it was no slight at Scott, no recasting.
OH Nuts! 10-26-2020, 01:10 PM It was really great and really enjoyed the Q & A afterwards. Of course Chachi was nowhere to be found! LOL
Avilos 10-26-2020, 08:58 PM I was at the ceremony in Milwaukee when the Fonz statue was unveiled. Meet everyone from,the cast in attendance. Ron was not there because he was filming the Da Vinci Code in Italy. But he did a video tribute that played on the Jumbotron before the Brewers game that day.
So it was great to learn last night at some point after that he discreetly got his own picture with the statue! Sounds like he was town as a tourist and did not want attention. Mentioned driving up to Door County. Which was awesome my Grandmather lived up there.

please kindly read this :

@ The Scott Baio Fan Blog
( https://scottbaio.wordpress.com/2017/04/27 )
By the way, Nicole Eggert was proven to be a mentally-deranged Fake #MeToo accuser
desperately jealous of Scott's wife Renee and hungrily looking out for money while
Alexander Polinsky turned out to be a politically-motivated drug addict who supported Bernie Sanders.
Being falsely accused is an ugly and terrible thing for anyone to go through.
Everyone should remember that fact.
Moreover, Scott Baio just greeted Marion Ross a Happy Birthday
this week after the controversially politicized cast reunion event.
Trolls may want to believe that Scott and his fellow castmates from Happy Days
are estranged but it simply isn't true based on their present actions and statements.
Trolls may slander him a "creature" but he is still a "human being" like the rest of us.

I don't believe Nicole Eggert's story, as she remained close to Scott Baio for almost three decades afterwards. I do believe Scott Baio has managed to destroy his own career through harsh words and lack of respect for his fellow castmates on multiple series. No one forced Scott Baio to write, "Alexander Polinsky and Willie Aames are scum. (https://twitter.com/scottbaio/status/1284604382751846401)" He wrote that, and no-one else.

Well I’d hardly expect a hard-core Trump supporter to say something glowing about a Happy Days fundraiser for Biden.
If he’s so offended and hot-doody over this, let him go do a similar fundraiser for Trump for one of his shows, if he can muster up enough like-minded colleagues.

RetroGuy2000 10-27-2020, 07:11 PM Alexander Polinsky and Willie Aames did turn out to be scum.
I know, I know, Willie Aames and Alexander Polinsky are "scum". Nicole Eggert is "trash". Erin Moran "died from drugs". Michelle Obama is "ugly", Wanda Sykes is "full of s***", John Stamos is a "marxist", Ron Howard is "shameful", etc. Where does it end with this guy?! :lol:
80s Dude 10-27-2020, 09:33 PM Scott Baio sounds like an unhinged and triggered snowflake.
OH Nuts! 10-27-2020, 10:51 PM Scott Baio sounds like an unhinged and triggered snowflake.
He has a right to his opinion, even if I 100.00000% disagree with it. Personally I thought Scott’s opinions (shared in TMC’s post) were kind of whiny and juvenile.

There is a way to express your opinion and yet remain civil. Scott Baio is a conman, my opinion of course.
Dr. Thong 10-28-2020, 10:06 AM Scott Baio sounds like an unhinged and triggered snowflake.
Definitely. The HD cast has the right to support whoever they want. Baio doesn't have to like it, but he should be respectful of his former cast members.
OH Nuts! 10-28-2020, 10:09 AM There is a way to express your opinion and yet remain civil.
True, which he WOEFULLY FAILED to demonstrate. I believe HOW someone chooses to criticize others says WAY MORE about them, then the subject of their ire.
80s Dude 10-28-2020, 01:46 PM Happy Days is not the only show where the cast got divided by politics. Buddy Ebsen and Nancy Culp from the Beverly Hillbillies had a long running field involving politics for year. He even campaigned against her when she ran for office in the 1980s. Fortunately they buried the hatchet after Nancy Culp came down with terminal cancer.
RetroGuy2000 10-28-2020, 02:19 PM True, which he WOEFULLY FAILED to demonstrate. I believe HOW someone chooses to criticize others says WAY MORE about them, then the subject of their ire.
Very true. In the case of Scott Baio, it doesn't seem like he's able to move on. He uses social media as his bully pulpit, but he's unable to use those platforms respectfully. It's like he's become a mini-Trump.
someguy23475 10-28-2020, 10:28 PM I can see not exactly being pleased with a person when they accuse you of sexual harassment. Perhaps calling Eggert “trash” is a bit much, but what kind of person makes false accusations? I do believe Eggert is lying.
As I said earlier, Baio was really pleased to see Willie Aames not too long ago. Apparently things changed since then.
As for the Happy Days cast, I don’t think there is a feud, at least with all of them. I don’t follow them enough to know for sure. Politics has a tendency to divide people, this year more so than even 2016.
OH Nuts! 10-29-2020, 12:13 AM True, which he WOEFULLY FAILED to demonstrate. I believe HOW someone chooses to criticize others says WAY MORE about them, then the subject of their ire.
Oh, and piggybacking on this, I have just one thing to say to Scott Baio:
SIT ON IT! :lol:
Wawwie 10-29-2020, 12:17 AM Oh, and piggybacking on this, I have just one thing to say to Scott Baio:

There is no way that Ron Howard and Henry Winkler can possibly function without Chachi!
OH Nuts! 10-29-2020, 12:42 AM There is no way that Ron Howard and Henry Winkler can possibly function without Chachi!
Absolutely. The fundraiser crumbled without him, as he is so vastly more talented and prolific than Ron Howard & Henry Winkler.
Dr. Thong 10-29-2020, 04:41 PM There is no way that Ron Howard and Henry Winkler can possibly function without Chachi!
Oh, they functioned very well for four seasons without Chachi.
The show was better without him.
thebabymysweet 10-30-2020, 01:26 AM RON HOWARD BEGAN HAPPY DAYS.
HENRY WINKLER SAVED HAPPY DAYS IN THE EARLY YEARS.
SCOTT BAIO AND ERIN MORAN SAVED HAPPY DAYS IN THE LATER YEARS.

Happy Days would have lasted longer than just 11 seasons.

Henry Winkler's Fonzie will reunite with his "Happy Days" cast this Sunday to raise funds for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin — home state of the iconic sitcom.
Joined by Ron Howard (Richie Cunningham), Don Most (Ralph Malph), Anson Williams (Potsie Weber), Marion Ross (Marion Cunningham), as well as writer Lowell Ganz plus a few special guests, the event will be available for a minimum donation of $1, with all proceeds aiding Joe Biden's campaign in the key battleground state.
"We’re thrilled a show made famous in Milwaukee is coming back home to help make Donald Trump a one-term President," said Ben Wikler, Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.
"We know all roads to the White House go through the Badger State, and with the cast of ‘Happy Days’ helping us raise money to take back the White House, we believe even more we can deliver a victory on November 3rd."

Thanks for your input. This thread is a “gray area” because it does involve a show yet is political at the same time. If you and TJ see fit, I don’t see why this thread couldn’t be moved to the Politics Board.
But, yes, I agree wholeheartedly the non-political threads should stay non-political.
Happy Days star Don Most slams Scott Baio for his "way out of line" bashing of the cast for holding a Democratic fundraiser (https://www.mediaite.com/entertainment/happy-days-scott-baio-don-most-reunion-fundraiser/)
"What a shame to use a classic show like Happy Days about Americana to promote an anti-American socialist," Baio tweeted (https://twitter.com/ScottBaio/status/1318400352299876352) in October in response to the cast's fundraiser for the Wisconsin Democratic party. In an interview with Fox News (https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/happy-days-don-most-lost-heart-erin-moran-scott-baio-reunion), Most denounced his former co-star’s fiery reaction and comments. “I know he has expressed some things about the fundraiser and us getting together for it that was a little disappointing,” said Most. “It was disappointing to hear how strongly he felt. And how he was so critical and negative about us doing this. I felt it was way out of line. I really did. Because we are entitled to our opinions. And we were all as a group uniting to do something, just like he proposes his views. He was part of the show and people are aware of him because of that show. And he’s using that as a way to present his views. We’re entitled to do the same. And we were all united in the way we felt.”
OH Nuts! 12-17-2020, 01:36 AM Happy Days star Don Most slams Scott Baio for his "way out of line" bashing of the cast for holding a Democratic fundraiser (https://www.mediaite.com/entertainment/happy-days-scott-baio-don-most-reunion-fundraiser/)
"What a shame to use a classic show like Happy Days about Americana to promote an anti-American socialist," Baio tweeted (https://twitter.com/ScottBaio/status/1318400352299876352) in October in response to the cast's fundraiser for the Wisconsin Democratic party. In an interview with Fox News (https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/happy-days-don-most-lost-heart-erin-moran-scott-baio-reunion), Most denounced his former co-star’s fiery reaction and comments. “I know he has expressed some things about the fundraiser and us getting together for it that was a little disappointing,” said Most. “It was disappointing to hear how strongly he felt. And how he was so critical and negative about us doing this. I felt it was way out of line. I really did. Because we are entitled to our opinions. And we were all as a group uniting to do something, just like he proposes his views. He was part of the show and people are aware of him because of that show. And he’s using that as a way to present his views. We’re entitled to do the same. And we were all united in the way we felt.”
Ha! Baio just got owned!

Good for Donny. Baio seems to feel it's okay to express his views, but not his cast members for expressing an alternative viewpoint. They are both entitled to their views and to express them.

So Scott is not alloud to have political feelings? Funny how the press tried but failed to start a feud between the Happy Days cast. Scott actually responded to this in the press by Saying he still loved Don. And that they had seen each other this past February over golf. They tried the same with Henry , who said Scott is intitled to his opinions as they are. Scott in not on the outs with any one from the show. There is lot love between the cast. They do not agree on political points but the love is still there.
As for the Erin Moran dibolical that was such a mess of pain and greef. Perhaps the press and media should step back when a person dies and let the persons loved ones, family, friends, digest the circumstances and greeve before they pounce to inhance their circulation. The whole thing was just terrible and could have been avoided had the media took a step back. I can not blame Scott or Erin's brother for the whole thing. The press is the most at fault in the whole thing. They took advantage of her death for their own personal gaine.

No, it's the other way around. Do you know what you call a conservative in Hollywood?
Unemployed.
The only exceptions are established stars like Clint Eastwood, Tim Allen, etc.

Yes I do it means an individiaul. A threat to clique filled Hollyweird. Which is full of people who do not think for themselves and go a long with the crowd.

Wrong. Those established actors had to get their start somewhere before they became established. Tom Sellick and Mel Gibson are also conservative. Scott Baio doesn't get work because he is a jerk and a pervert, not because he is a conservative.
