Henry Winkler Goes From 'The Fonz' to Teacher In 'Sit Down, Shut Up' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Henry Winkler was the ultimate cool kid on Happy Days. Now he's playing a teacher who's not so cool. Sit Down, Shut Up casts Winkler as the voice of an animated schoolteacher.

"His name is Willard Deutschebog," Winkler said. "He's a lover of baloney. You see outdated cough syrup. He sees desert. He is. He teaches German to about four students because no one ever takes his course."

With all of Deutschebog's eating habits, Winlker has yet to record a stockpile of slurping, eating noises for the dubbing vaults. "That's an interesting question. Actually a lot of yelling because I'm in a lot of car accidents it seems in this particular show. Eating, no, not a lot yet. I'm going to bring that up."

One episode has Winkler playing the double role of Deutschebog and his own mother. He didn't get paid twice though. "You don't. You get paid very little for playing one character and then less for playing multiple."

I didn't see the whole thing, but what I saw didn't look too good.
