Ron Howard reprises his role as Richie Cunningham
I woke up this morning and saw this on Politico: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/cc65ed650d
Apparently, Howard teamed up with Andy Griffith and Henry Winkler to reprise the Opie Taylor and Richie Cunningham characters to endorse Obama. I'm not too big on the politics, but it's awesome to see Richie and the Fonz together again. |

that was really cool and funny. I am surprised how old he looks as Richie now. He looks like he could be Henry Winkler's father there and Henry's almost a decade older

He's the same age as my parents, though. How about that?

OMG, I love that! Not only do he and Henry Winkler (and Andy Griffith for that matter!) have great tastes in candidates, that was an awesome video! Hilarious! I wonder what Obama would say if he saw that! Wow, what a transformation a little hair dye and hairpiece make! Ron and Henry looked decades younger! I loved seeing the two of them together! It was like watching an episode of Happy Days (well, without the Barak Obama comments of course!)!
Thanks for sharing that! Andrea |

i think it is really great that Ron Howard has his Richie and Opie wigs right there on standby so he can switch into his alternate personnas at a moments notice, in case of just such an emergency.

Can anyone make screencaps of this video?
Funny thing, when I created that post the other day about whether Ron could have had a big movie career I wondered if his premature baldness would have effected it. Like it or not Hollywood is all about image. Of course I realized that he could just wear a hairpiece. Like many other actors do. That just a day before this video was posted. in which Ron openly pokes fun at his need to wear wigs. Ron is the best! |

Ron Howard Reprises His Opie and Richie Roles for Obama; Minor Changes for Hallmark,
 I just watched this! I guess someone forced these guys to put on those characters again and honestly I can't stop laughing . It's fun seeing them put on those clothes and potray those characters again. It's just so strange to see them in a sixty year old body potraying characters of that age...

I am soo disappointed I didn't even bother to watch it. I guess Ron is so rich he doesn't care that Obama's "tax breaks" are going to cost taxpayers a lot more in the long run. Like Stevenson in 56 I sure pray that Obama loses bigtime
