And it’s nice to see a negative comment (but done in a nice way) once in a while. So many video comment sections are just a parade of non-stop “You’re so great!” comments. My negative comment (hopefully done in a nice way) is: it drives me a little crazy how so few people can participate in a conversation without CONSTANTLY jumping in to talk without letting the speaker finish what they were saying. It just seems that everybody is so hungry to have the spotlight placed back on them. It’s not that hard to be good at conversation. Yet so few people are.
Very impressed with Henry Winklers’s comments and beliefs. He stood up and disagreed to Bill Maher’s pompous views without getting angry and, instead, calmly presented his point of view. Way to go, Fonz!
Henry has been famous for over 50 years and he still has so much grace and humility. It really speaks to his character that he has so much staying power because he's so kind and fascinating!
During the early Happy Days era, Henry and the cast had several interviews and instead of acting the part when his character was the most famous on television, he spoke very plainly and honest even back then.
How deftly Henry Winkler worked this conversation! Attentive, thoughtful and easy with transitions and disagreements in a respectful manner. “Sometimes I think you don’t listen” gets slipped in. Great interview!
Bill revealed here exactly why no woman could ever stomach him for longer than a second. Thank God for the wife that never was that Bill never married. This man is absolutely awful. So arrogant. His ego needs knocking down. He said he was dumb when he was younger because he didn't know anything. He is still that person. It's just that he's now under the impression that he knows something.
Seems like a fairly standard young idealist turned middle aged cynic, with a whole lot of mind-altering excess, lack of self reflection and confusion of perspective tacked on. Lots of people tend that way as they get older.
But unfortunately a blind flawed liberal…and this is coming from a life long centrist liberal! Winkler iOS just so bloody wrong…it’s an unquestioned horrible event that has the Middle East in a terrible situsatiuon …but with Iran and its proxy’s with the support of Russia and china stoking this fire leaves Israel and its ALLIES need to push back!!
Winkler correctly said that Nazism has come back in every country and Bill replied “just a little” or something to that effect, and in the same breath he says that antisemitism is rampant but only because of Hamas 🙄
I bow at the altar of Winkler's wisdom, " "[Bill] I'm seeing a different you than I have seen on TV....Why don't you let some of this humanity come out. Sometimes I think you don't listen." Winkler teaching Maher to be introspective is masterful.
I'm 15 minutes in, and I've yet to see the humanity of which you speak! He's still plugging his appearances, after briefly plugging Winkler's book and not even showing it, and talking about himself. I look forward to seeing the new Bill! Maher: You're dyslexic? Winkler: I am. Maher: That's probably why you don't have a library! Ha ha ha ha ha!😮 Then Maher called Winkler psychotic! Yeah.... Maher's just overflowing with empathy! It's a little like Bill interviewing Mr Rogers!😅
@EXPORT1867 1 second ago Bill is just like Trump never finished a real history book but knows it all. And gets like a child when confronted with another side of the story. Sometimes I think he cant hear what other people are saying because he must have his ear buds in listing to the greatest playlist in the world (that he made on the original ipod) Henry out classed this Beatlemania B.B. bag licker
Welp! That was at times contentious. Love how Winkler adeptly stroked Maher’s ego in order to deliver his rebuttals and counter arguments. Skillfully done.
Yes! During the days when he was primarily a very successful TV producer/director and would return my boss's calls, he'd always introduce himself by saying, in a cheerful and kind voice, "Hel-low, this is Hen-ry Wink-ler." And he always said, "thank you" before being transferred. I was very surprised when he returned to acting, but I'm glad he did.
Talk about when you met him, how long ago was that, where were you, what did he say or what did y'all talk about or was it like at a book signing or something, or hotel, airport?
In Bill's defense, he is drinking a lot. As an alcoholic, you don't think about how you are acting, at least for me, until you are sober and around another drunk. That's why I tell people before getting drunk, this is how I am...
@annharris2508 I am sure Mr. Winkler knew Bill was drunk and treated him as any decent human being treats one who is inebriated. You may not believe in Bible stories (i agree, they've changed some to reflect their own views, but if you really look, the main poin5 is there) who was the one in trouble when Noah's (or it could have been Moses, I'm not sure. But it doesn't matter) son saw him drunk in his tent and decided to go get his brother to shame him. Who was the one God scolded? It was Noah for being drunk. It was the son who found him. God said that he should've covered his father knowing he was drunk. So Mr. Winkler did the right thing. You think maybe that is the reason damn near everyone who knows him loves him?
I had the biggest crush on Henry Winkler as a teen. Posters on the wall and magazines and fan books full of every detail available of him at that time. Now I’m a 58 yr old lesbian and I have to say, he’s still got it! ❤ Love this man!!! Thanks Bill for hanging out with him.

My niece met him in LA and she told me that Henry Winkler was the NICEST man she had ever met in the "business." Really a normal guy. I was so glad to hear that bcuz there ain't many!!!!!!!!!
This is the most entertaining thing I've seen in the longest time. I was worried at the beginning: Bill was dominating, Henry was polite. Finally Henry was like, OK, you want to do this, let's do this. I love to see Henry Winkler in interviews. I just finished "Being Henry" on Audible - wonderful. But, this is the first time I've seen him channel the Fonz in decades. I think Henry Winkler exemplifies kindness. Henry also demonstrates that kindness is definitely not weakness. Kind and indomitable is a powerful combination. Kudos to Bill for engaging him that way. The depth of talent in both guys was on display. The talent, humor, timing, intelligence, of both are huge and really came out. BTW, love Maya Rudolph, she has a beautiful name, maybe not the easiest to come up with if, God forbid, it happens to slip your mind.
this tired ass overused moniker again. I'm surprised you didn't add he must be protected at all cost too. try saying something original next time. fuck this national treasure overused horse shit
Henry is an absolute lovely person. As the conversation was turning argumentative, Henry pivoted at 49:45, spoke to Bill's ego and brought it back. Bravo sir, you are a scholar and a gentleman.
I just could not get myself to like that movie, no matter how many times i tried to watch it.. i think it may have hit a nerve and it made me so so sad inside.
You know, Bill, there are times that you have people on your show who I intensely dislike. Often times, the long form interview simply confirms for me that I am correct in my assessment of them. On the other hand, there are times like this, when you have people on your show who I was already pretty sure were amazing. Then I watch them over an hour or two, over a variety topics & I learn that I love them even more. Thanks. I can't tell you how much I love Henry Winkler.
Nicely done, Henry Winkler. As someone who typically has been a big Bill Maher fan, his pathetically simple-minded approval of the Israeli government suggests he formed an opinion on October 8, 2023 and has had his head up his ass regarding new information and new developments since then. I applaud Henry Winkler for pushing back on Maher on this issue and wish he had pushed even a little harder.
Henry Winkler: “I have a great Joni Mitchell story.” Bill: *Couldn’t care less, completely and utterly ignores Henry and just keeps talking about his thing 🤣😂🤣
But ya know what, I will respond. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, it's not committing genocide, it's not an apartheid state. It has equal rights for all citizens of Israel. Every Arab country is an Islamic state, without the same religious freedom. Israel would like nothing more than to live in peace, but they're being attacked constantly by a neighbor that would love to see their complete destruction. Hamas puts its own people in harms' way, they don't care about them---they're merely martyrs for the cause. Which is the annihilation of the Jewish state. They subjugate women and kill homosexuals. You didn't deserve an actual response, since you're a troll and fool, but nonetheless, there it is.
About 40 yrs. ago a friend and I were in N.Y. As we were walking past the Plaza Hotel, I saw him coming towards us. It was the winter and he was wearing a full length fur coat and a cowboy hat with a big feather on the front of it He was walking arm in arm with his wife. I remember her beautiful long red hair and her very long legs. With the cowboy hat on it made him almost as tall as she is. I turned to my friend, who is a bit deaf, and was missing out on seeing them, so to get her attention I screamed "THAT'S HENRY WINKLER!!!" And then I ran... I ran up the street as fast as I could because I was so mortified... "Nance" she laughed... I was in tears from laughing at myself... "Did you see him?" I asked... She said "Yeah, I saw him when he turned around to see who the maniac was who was screaming his name..." I later told her I had seen him once on TV and he said that it bothered him when people would scream "FONZIE!" instead of my real name. My name is Henry" he said... So see, I got that part right...😂
Bill tells Henry he didn't read his book as he can't during the Real Time season. Shortly after, Bill tells Henry he just finished Barbra Streisand's and Woody Allen's books. It made me forget his greeting where he mocked Henry's clothes. Haha!
He’s such a shill… he just repeats what ever Z!onist talking points. He doesn’t know a single thing about what those negotiations entailed and how they were designed to not be accepted
I taught Henry Winkler how to play craps at The Mirage casino not too long after it opened in the early 90s. Had one of the greatest dice runs ever. Started out with an empty table, just him and me, and 45 minutes later the crowd was 3 deep, jumping and screaming, everyone making money like crazy. I wear jeans, a t shirt, and a leather jacket, and ride a motorcycle to this day probably because of The Fonz. Watched Happy Days regularly with my dad as a kid. I used to work at Paramount for ten years from 97 to 2006, and saw Henry walking around the lot a few times, but never had the courage to walk up to him and remind him of our time at the craps table. My job was preparing back end profit participation statements and cutting checks for celebrities. Happy Days and Cheers were both my responsibility, along with Quantum Leap, on which Henry was an Executive Producer. I moved to Oregon 8 years ago, never having been here. I discovered my neighbor is lifelong friends with Henry, going back to their theater acting days in NYC 40-50 years ago. Henry wrote the forward to her autobiographical book a couple years ago. Hippie Woman Wild by Carol Schlanger.
As a young man with dyslexia I felt like a freak and having the Fonz come out and expose his own dyslexia did so much for my ego and helped me stand up against the internal shame I had. Henry you were my hero back then and still are, despite being 57 now. Hero! Pure and simple. God love ya man.
Bill brushed off his children's books and didn't even ask about them, "just a few words on a page" What a moron, he didn't do "hop on pop" and they helped many children with and understanding dyslexia and feeling stupid. Maybe he should read them when he's "less busy".
@@workinprogress-ye5or unfortunately Bill seems to be more interested in his own story than they people he interviews. Henry Winkler is or was a lovely and beautiful person that put his immediate fame to one side and tried to do something good for people like him and me. Thank you for your reply. I only pray that Henry understands how much good he did for people like my and my younger brother at a time when we were made to feel like freaks and inhuman. I will always love and respect his great humanity. Now sure I agree with all his current politics, but having said that I will always listen to his wisdom. Surely that is worth something. ❤️
@@pazuzutru-truluv7094 It is, you don't attack the way Bill did. If he read Henry's book he'd have known his parents background with the Holocaust and his feelings but I don't think he understood anything he did beyond the Fonz. His loss
You should read his book, I'm not done but it's heartbreaking how bad his parents were to him.He was 34 before he knew why he was the way he was.I feel for kids I knew who did things backwards or couldn't spell and so little was known back then.Bill missed an opportunity to take 5 minutes and give his other books a plug
Henry Winkler is the sweetest human being in Hollywood. I'd rank him higher than Tom Hanks. He has the energy of a sweet grandpa who lets you know everything is going to be alright.
I enjoyed this interview immensely. Henry is an exemplary human. His wit is razor sharp but almost entirely understated. To see two people volley back and forth so effortlessly is magical. Pure joy surrounds this man.
This show is AWESOME! The fact that these two can have such deep disagreements, be themselves as they disagree, but be cool with each other while doing it, is so fantastic to me. I thin this is what America needs.
They are actually a pretty hilarious duo together. You can imagine the two of them actually just setting together not on a podcast or being recorded and their conversation not being much different than this.
I absolutely Love Henry Winkler and have read his wonderful book. He was my first celebrity crush in the 70s and I not only had the pleasure of seeing him perform with John Ritter on Broadway, (he discusses here,) but afterward he came out and after I had a photo w John,… all of a sudden he sidled up next to me and put his arm around me and I froze. All I could think of was “Fonzie has his arm around me…” lol. That photo is a prized possession (taken on a disposable camera.. #2000.) Love you so much Henry. Thank you.
Henry Winkler... You sir, are the one guy that Elvis Presley thought was cooler than him and James Dean put together. That's a true story direct from the mouth of Charlie Hodge, who lived at Graceland for 17 years and watched him every week with Elvis until his death in '77. Like Elvis, Henry is a true global icon, and a true treasure to humanity... On a personal note I'd like to share that he's been a hero of mine since I was a kid, and I had the pleasure of getting to talk with him on a zoom call not long ago and he was so kind, polite, and we talked about our mutual friend Cindy Williams who was like my 2nd Mother (God rest her sweet soul). My heart was melting listening to this sweet gentle soul who played the toughest and coolest cultural phenomenon on television talk about his grandchildren, his family, and the joy he gets out of writing his books for kids with me.. His humility is unmeasurable and I thank God for this incredible man that took time to talk with me and treated me like I was the only person in the world that mattered... You blessed my life Henry, and I believe Bill was touched through this interview as well. Until we meet again, and I pray that we do because the only thing missing for me from my time with you was a great hug like you gave Bill at the end of your time with him.
Henry is a saint with critical thinking and humility and Bill is an opportunist who may have been a big thinker back in the day but now only supports what he thinks is lucritive first, popular second, but never right.
Bill and Henry are so different, as Bill stated. He's shallow; Winkler is deep thinking and very wise! Bill has a lot to learn from Henry's wisdom and gratitude!🎉😊❤
Truly, what a gem of a man! I had the privilege of meeting Henry about a year ago, and he is just as lovely, kind, and humble as I had hoped he would be. He is a true gentleman and a Hollywood legend. Happy to see him wearing his green in this episode!
I really felt like Bill did not give Henry the deference he deserved/deserves. I know it's a casual conversation, but there were so many times I felt like Bill was disrespectful and even too confrontational for no reason with Henry. It sounded some of the time like Bill was arguing with someone he truly disliked. I think he does like and respect Henry, but Bill was not at all at his best. I don't know what was up his ass during this episode, but it was a shame that Henry Winkler happened to be the guest at the time.
Did he get rejected by someone or have a fight I was thinking. He walked in almost like he wasn't done with something. I guess every show he isn't going to feel "I want to do this".
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Henry and Stacey Winkler in 2017. Getting to meet them together was so amazing. They are such an adorable couple. They would complete each other sentences and bust each others chops while we talked. I have a picture I cherish of Henry and I that Stacey took with my phone. I tell everyone who will listen that Henry Winkler may be one of the nicest people I have ever met.
I love the friendly discourse with Bill and Henry. Henry can’t go to his same boring family and kids stories because Bill doesn’t care. We get more from Henry
Henry is an icon and was watched by more people on Tuesday nights than those who watch the superbowl now. His fame was insane from 75-79 in particular. Seems like a fantastic human and a mensch.
I loved this episode with Henry Winkler. I've always known that Mr. Winkler was much different in real life to that of his character, the "Fonz" on the tv series, Happy Days, but hearing him talk made me realize how much we both have in common both in our love of family and friends, as well as for a love of going to the theatre and to hear a symphony orchestra...there's nothing better than that in life. I've never noticed before how set in his ways Bill Maher has become, and it makes me wonder if he has aways been that way or if it has evolved with age. I recently became interested in opera, something I never thought I would like. I took an opportunity to see a free performance of Opera Philadelphia performing Puccini's "La Boheme" in Independence Mall Park many years ago and was hooked instantly. I never would have discovered my appreciation for opera if I hadn't taken a chance to see it that night for free under the stars. It makes me wonder what opportunities Bill Maher has passed on by being so stuck in his ways. I hope, someday, somebody like Henry Winkler can coax him out of his comfort zone. After all, variety is the spice of life!
I met Henry Winkler a few years back at a convention and he was the nicest guy I have ever met. He went down the line of people and got all of the kids together and did the coin trick from the movie CLICK. It was surreal!!!
I am laughing so hard. I absolutely loved this entire conversation with these two. Moments of when it went off the rails but reeled right back on track. Hysterical 😂
I just love Henry. He is an adorable human and one of the few who remains likeable even when not agreeing with the host. Though Bill can be prickly to say the least. I LOLed at Henry saying 'You talk too much' and that really wound Bill up!
This was so enjoyable to watch. Made me see Henry Winkler with an even bigger heart. I dont care about his politics, because I just like him. Seems like such a sweet man. A nice conversation
@@bradcwellman Nah he has lived a whole life, he has manners and charm. His politics are just a recent veneer of indoctrination which I don't care for either.
I doubt it. Probably QT came back from his piss, sat down, and thought " fuk this lets eat...!! " im guessing there's maybe 10 mins max of more drunken bullshit....

@@RipperFromYT oh come on guests know he's going to light up a joint, they can decline the invite. And honestly you think this is the first time Winkler has been in a room with a dude having a joint. Its not ketamine, or heroin. Relax.
I've decided the best way to describe Bill is SELF-IMPORTANT.
90 percent of americans are? Im glad you are in the 10 percent
@@yebopa2692no. Not so. I hate how Bill says 15...fifdeen
Yes. Only he is right. Self righteous.
if he was a woman you'd use a different word so you should use the same word for a bloke. he's a b word and a c word.
@@HeatherR-u2o almost a god, with self-humiliation kink.
My niece met him in LA and she told me that Henry Winkler was the NICEST man she had ever met in the "business." Really a normal guy. I was so glad to hear that bcuz there ain't many!!!!!!!!!
This is the most entertaining thing I've seen in the longest time. I was worried at the beginning: Bill was dominating, Henry was polite. Finally Henry was like, OK, you want to do this, let's do this. I love to see Henry Winkler in interviews. I just finished "Being Henry" on Audible - wonderful. But, this is the first time I've seen him channel the Fonz in decades. I think Henry Winkler exemplifies kindness. Henry also demonstrates that kindness is definitely not weakness. Kind and indomitable is a powerful combination. Kudos to Bill for engaging him that way. The depth of talent in both guys was on display. The talent, humor, timing, intelligence, of both are huge and really came out. BTW, love Maya Rudolph, she has a beautiful name, maybe not the easiest to come up with if, God forbid, it happens to slip your mind.
Henry Winkler is a NATIONAL TREASURE ❤❤❤
Canada I take it so
International.
I'm editing my above comment to say GLOBAL TREASURE ❤️❤️❤️
@Nevernowaynope he's clearly Welsh boyo!
this tired ass overused moniker again. I'm surprised you didn't add he must be protected at all cost too. try saying something original next time. fuck this national treasure overused horse shit
He lives near me and gave us a $20 during a lemonade sale to help kids with cancer. Great guy.
I really like Henry Winkler's personality. Such a nice person.
Henry is an absolute lovely person. As the conversation was turning argumentative, Henry pivoted at 49:45, spoke to Bill's ego and brought it back. Bravo sir, you are a scholar and a gentleman.
Henry Winkler, "I will not interrupt you." He has got Bill's number.
He sure does. 😂

Hey, The Fonz is really a cool cat and down to earth. Learn from this man, Bill Maher.
Everyone talks about Fonz, but his role as Adam Sandler's dad in Click always gets me choked up lol
He’s my favorite character in that movie.
I just could not get myself to like that movie, no matter how many times i tried to watch it.. i think it may have hit a nerve and it made me so so sad inside.
@@sassykow The fact that it could elicit those kinds of feeling in you means it is a well done movie. You can like it for that.
I loved his role in that movie! Though, it was his Fonzie character in the Happy Days show that made me a fan. I always loved that "Ayyyy" ad-lib.
@@sassykow That movie was so depressing for me as well.
You know, Bill, there are times that you have people on your show who I intensely dislike. Often times, the long form interview simply confirms for me that I am correct in my assessment of them.
On the other hand, there are times like this, when you have people on your show who I was already pretty sure were amazing. Then I watch them over an hour or two, over a variety topics & I learn that I love them even more.
Thanks.
I can't tell you how much I love Henry Winkler.
Henry seems like one of the few down to earth Hollywood people.
Yup. Definitely not The Fonz - lol
Henry is such a great, normal guy who is very humble!
I never even watched Happy Days. But I've always adored Henry. Funny, chill, super down to earth. Seems like someone everyone would like.
I grew up watching Happy Days, he was the coolest person on TV back then.
You really missed out on a super hilarious show.
@@klmegm197682 Agreed! But only the first 3 or 4 seasons
Nicely done, Henry Winkler. As someone who typically has been a big Bill Maher fan, his pathetically simple-minded approval of the Israeli government suggests he formed an opinion on October 8, 2023 and has had his head up his ass regarding new information and new developments since then. I applaud Henry Winkler for pushing back on Maher on this issue and wish he had pushed even a little harder.
Yes, General…😏
He's Israel first, America second. Always remember that. Him and Shapiro are the same.
He had his head up there a long time before that date.
Henry Winkler: “I have a great Joni Mitchell story.”
Bill: *Couldn’t care less, completely and utterly ignores Henry and just keeps talking about his thing 🤣😂🤣
@@darrenryan1161 Not unlike you and your somewhat near adequate grammar. What the hell are you saying man?
Isn't that amazing? That happens in every single "interview." John Fogerty, case in point.
Nobody wants to hear about her anyway.
@@HeatherR-u2o But we are all sitting down at your altar to hear the daily wisdom?
@@slipstreammonkey Sure thing
Though Bill has a reputation of interrupting here, he has met his match with Henry.
Henry did it by disappearing into his phone and saying "Yes" a lot.
It was pretty funny here, as Bill himself said it felt like a sketch
Winkler comes across as so mellow & nonchalant, while being so focused & deliberate (interesting) ..
Totally in control, in the moment and does so flawlessly.
Is this the fastest Bill ever declared he's not married and doesn't want to be. 😂😂 We get it, Bill. You're beating the crap out of a dead horse..
He's not quite sure if his choice, still. Time has run out.
THANK YOU, Henry Winkler...for SLAPPING Bill around a bit...He thinks he knows everything...he does not. THANK YOU for raising important issues...
Bill is right about Israel
What part is he correct on Israel how would he knows from California are u a crazed maher fanzine
@@darrenryan1161 Your comment really needs no response, as it is inarticulate and just dumb.
But ya know what, I will respond. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, it's not committing genocide, it's not an apartheid state. It has equal rights for all citizens of Israel. Every Arab country is an Islamic state, without the same religious freedom. Israel would like nothing more than to live in peace, but they're being attacked constantly by a neighbor that would love to see their complete destruction. Hamas puts its own people in harms' way, they don't care about them---they're merely martyrs for the cause. Which is the annihilation of the Jewish state. They subjugate women and kill homosexuals. You didn't deserve an actual response, since you're a troll and fool, but nonetheless, there it is.
@@yournamehere6002 No...he is not...guess you did not listen to what Henry Winkler (a Jew) said.
The world loves Henry and more people need to be reminded of how to be a decent human like Henry Winkler.
It has been my life's goal to give thumbs up to Henry Winkler since I was like 8. 👍 👍
You’re a wonderful human being, Henry. As Bill said you radiate optimism and goodness, I added the goodness part 😊🙏🏻
About 40 yrs. ago a friend and I were in N.Y. As we were walking past the Plaza Hotel, I saw him coming towards us. It was the winter and he was wearing a full length fur coat and a cowboy hat with a big feather on the front of it He was walking arm in arm with his wife. I remember her beautiful long red hair and her very long legs. With the cowboy hat on it made him almost as tall as she is. I turned to my friend, who is a bit deaf, and was missing out on seeing them, so to get her attention I screamed "THAT'S HENRY WINKLER!!!" And then I ran... I ran up the street as fast as I could because I was so mortified... "Nance" she laughed... I was in tears from laughing at myself... "Did you see him?" I asked... She said "Yeah, I saw him when he turned around to see who the maniac was who was screaming his name..." I later told her I had seen him once on TV and he said that it bothered him when people would scream "FONZIE!" instead of my real name. My name is Henry" he said... So see, I got that part right...😂
Bill tells Henry he didn't read his book as he can't during the Real Time season. Shortly after, Bill tells Henry he just finished Barbra Streisand's and Woody Allen's books. It made me forget his greeting where he mocked Henry's clothes. Haha!
Barry is the gold standard of sit-coms (if that's what it is, cause it's hard to pin down), and Henry Winkler is a huge part of it.
Did Bill just say that only Israel wants a two states solution?🤣🤣🤣🤣 I really don't know what this guy is smoking
He’s such a shill… he just repeats what ever Z!onist talking points. He doesn’t know a single thing about what those negotiations entailed and how they were designed to not be accepted
@1Deep43VA 💯! On this topic Maher chooses not to live in truth.
Henry is an underrated actor.
Name another 5' 6" Jewish actor that could believable play the toughest Italian playboy ever.
That's 50 years ago, everyone was 5'5 back then.
Edward G. Robinson. “Little Caesar”.
James Caan was 5’9” so close..
The Fonz was an INCREDIBLE influence on, and role model for, MILLIONS of people.
Tom cruise is about 4 feet tall.
I taught Henry Winkler how to play craps at The Mirage casino not too long after it opened in the early 90s. Had one of the greatest dice runs ever. Started out with an empty table, just him and me, and 45 minutes later the crowd was 3 deep, jumping and screaming, everyone making money like crazy.
I wear jeans, a t shirt, and a leather jacket, and ride a motorcycle to this day probably because of The Fonz. Watched Happy Days regularly with my dad as a kid.
I used to work at Paramount for ten years from 97 to 2006, and saw Henry walking around the lot a few times, but never had the courage to walk up to him and remind him of our time at the craps table. My job was preparing back end profit participation statements and cutting checks for celebrities. Happy Days and Cheers were both my responsibility, along with Quantum Leap, on which Henry was an Executive Producer.
I moved to Oregon 8 years ago, never having been here. I discovered my neighbor is lifelong friends with Henry, going back to their theater acting days in NYC 40-50 years ago. Henry wrote the forward to her autobiographical book a couple years ago. Hippie Woman Wild by Carol Schlanger.
As a young man with dyslexia I felt like a freak and having the Fonz come out and expose his own dyslexia did so much for my ego and helped me stand up against the internal shame I had.
Henry you were my hero back then and still are, despite being 57 now.
Hero!
Pure and simple.
God love ya man.
Bill brushed off his children's books and didn't even ask about them, "just a few words on a page" What a moron, he didn't do "hop on pop" and they helped many children with and understanding dyslexia and feeling stupid. Maybe he should read them when he's "less busy".
Too bad Bill not knowing much about Henry, didn't let him elaborate more on it.
@@workinprogress-ye5or unfortunately Bill seems to be more interested in his own story than they people he interviews.
Henry Winkler is or was a lovely and beautiful person that put his immediate fame to one side and tried to do something good for people like him and me.
Thank you for your reply.
I only pray that Henry understands how much good he did for people like my and my younger brother at a time when we were made to feel like freaks and inhuman.
I will always love and respect his great humanity.
Now sure I agree with all his current politics, but having said that I will always listen to his wisdom. Surely that is worth something. ❤️
@@pazuzutru-truluv7094 It is, you don't attack the way Bill did. If he read Henry's book he'd have known his parents background with the Holocaust and his feelings but I don't think he understood anything he did beyond the Fonz. His loss
You should read his book, I'm not done but it's heartbreaking how bad his parents were to him.He was 34 before he knew why he was the way he was.I feel for kids I knew who did things backwards or couldn't spell and so little was known back then.Bill missed an opportunity to take 5 minutes and give his other books a plug
Henry Winkler is the sweetest human being in Hollywood.
I'd rank him higher than Tom Hanks.
He has the energy of a sweet grandpa who lets you know everything is going to be alright.
Henry Winkler and Bill Maher together are the best! This is the funniest. Great interview 💙
I enjoyed this interview immensely. Henry is an exemplary human. His wit is razor sharp but almost entirely understated. To see two people volley back and forth so effortlessly is magical. Pure joy surrounds this man.
I met Mr. Winkler and John Ritter on Broadway in "The Dinner Party" in 2000 (wow!). It was awesome. :-)
2 greats!!!!
Henry Winkler on Arrested Development is absolute comedic Gold ❤
❤❤❤ I love you Henry Winkler ❣ You're a humble genius😍😍❤
This show is AWESOME! The fact that these two can have such deep disagreements, be themselves as they disagree, but be cool with each other while doing it, is so fantastic to me. I thin this is what America needs.
Henry: "being nice to the waitress" 😂
They are actually a pretty hilarious duo together. You can imagine the two of them actually just setting together not on a podcast or being recorded and their conversation not being much different than this.
Met Henry at a Comic Con in Pensacola. He signed my Scream DVD cover. What a nice guy!
What's the point of having a great guest like Henry Winkler when you won't let him get a word edgewise?
to hear yourself talk. so others may bask in your precious effusiveness.
bill created this show so he has yet another platform for him to get on his soapbox
Was hoping for part 2 of QT but Henry is of course more than welcome!
He will always be "The Fonz"; the coolest guy ever!!!
Henry Winkler! Get more of these types of interviews... Good choice.
But with a less obnoxious host.
Henry doesn't realize his wife gets up at 4am every morning and gargles mouth wash😂
Bill hasn't realized he doesn't have a wife yet!
Nor will he ever figure it out!
Whether she has good breath or does that...heeeeey. Good wife.
Good thing you aren’t a comedy writer…🤔
I love the Fonz!!!!
I absolutely Love Henry Winkler and have read his wonderful book. He was my first celebrity crush in the 70s and I not only had the pleasure of seeing him perform with John Ritter on Broadway, (he discusses here,) but afterward he came out and after I had a photo w John,… all of a sudden he sidled up next to me and put his arm around me and I froze. All I could think of was “Fonzie has his arm around me…” lol. That photo is a prized possession (taken on a disposable camera.. #2000.) Love you so much Henry. Thank you.
Henry Winkler... You sir, are the one guy that Elvis Presley thought was cooler than him and James Dean put together. That's a true story direct from the mouth of Charlie Hodge, who lived at Graceland for 17 years and watched him every week with Elvis until his death in '77. Like Elvis, Henry is a true global icon, and a true treasure to humanity...
On a personal note I'd like to share that he's been a hero of mine since I was a kid, and I had the pleasure of getting to talk with him on a zoom call not long ago and he was so kind, polite, and we talked about our mutual friend Cindy Williams who was like my 2nd Mother (God rest her sweet soul). My heart was melting listening to this sweet gentle soul who played the toughest and coolest cultural phenomenon on television talk about his grandchildren, his family, and the joy he gets out of writing his books for kids with me..
His humility is unmeasurable and I thank God for this incredible man that took time to talk with me and treated me like I was the only person in the world that mattered... You blessed my life Henry, and I believe Bill was touched through this interview as well. Until we meet again, and I pray that we do because the only thing missing for me from my time with you was a great hug like you gave Bill at the end of your time with him.
Henry is a saint with critical thinking and humility and Bill is an opportunist who may have been a big thinker back in the day but now only supports what he thinks is lucritive first, popular second, but never right.
Bill and Henry are so different, as Bill stated. He's shallow; Winkler is deep thinking and very wise! Bill has a lot to learn from Henry's wisdom and gratitude!🎉😊❤
Henry Winkler class act. 🌟🥰
Will always love him in "Nightshift" - He really should do another film with Michael Keaton :)
Truly, what a gem of a man! I had the privilege of meeting Henry about a year ago, and he is just as lovely, kind, and humble as I had hoped he would be. He is a true gentleman and a Hollywood legend. Happy to see him wearing his green in this episode!
I really felt like Bill did not give Henry the deference he deserved/deserves. I know it's a casual conversation, but there were so many times I felt like Bill was disrespectful and even too confrontational for no reason with Henry. It sounded some of the time like Bill was arguing with someone he truly disliked. I think he does like and respect Henry, but Bill was not at all at his best. I don't know what was up his ass during this episode, but it was a shame that Henry Winkler happened to be the guest at the time.
Well said. 👏🏻
Did he get rejected by someone or have a fight I was thinking. He walked in almost like he wasn't done with something. I guess every show he isn't going to feel "I want to do this".
Bill can be crabby at times, especially with women.
Inside of 60 seconds he'll insult them some way. I don't get it.
Great chat!
It’s so nice to hear Bill and his guests talking without being interrupted after every line by screaming and whooping, like on Real Time.
Henry Winkler a classy guy 👏🇨🇦
One of the absolute best talks ever. Kept my attention the whole time. Wonderful!
The Fonz is still a perfect gentleman! Take notes fellas this is class!
and Bill makes it hard at times
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Henry and Stacey Winkler in 2017. Getting to meet them together was so amazing. They are such an adorable couple. They would complete each other sentences and bust each others chops while we talked. I have a picture I cherish of Henry and I that Stacey took with my phone. I tell everyone who will listen that Henry Winkler may be one of the nicest people I have ever met.
Something "girl of the week or month or year" will never give you. We all make choices, I hope Bill was happy with his.
@@deb9806he reminds us he is every single show. Chelsea Handler does the same. Enjoy
I love Henry. That is all
Henry Winkler is the definition of a very nice man. He's a true gentleman and Hollywood would benefit from more like him.
I love the friendly discourse with Bill and Henry. Henry can’t go to his same boring family and kids stories because Bill doesn’t care. We get more from Henry
Lovely interview. Winkler is indeed a likeable guy. I can’t imagine anyone not liking him.
Henry is an icon and was watched by more people on Tuesday nights than those who watch the superbowl now. His fame was insane from 75-79 in particular.
Seems like a fantastic human and a mensch.
I loved this episode with Henry Winkler. I've always known that Mr. Winkler was much different in real life to that of his character, the "Fonz" on the tv series, Happy Days, but hearing him talk made me realize how much we both have in common both in our love of family and friends, as well as for a love of going to the theatre and to hear a symphony orchestra...there's nothing better than that in life. I've never noticed before how set in his ways Bill Maher has become, and it makes me wonder if he has aways been that way or if it has evolved with age. I recently became interested in opera, something I never thought I would like. I took an opportunity to see a free performance of Opera Philadelphia performing Puccini's "La Boheme" in Independence Mall Park many years ago and was hooked instantly. I never would have discovered my appreciation for opera if I hadn't taken a chance to see it that night for free under the stars. It makes me wonder what opportunities Bill Maher has passed on by being so stuck in his ways. I hope, someday, somebody like Henry Winkler can coax him out of his comfort zone. After all, variety is the spice of life!
Such an Iconic man.
Just saying.
I met Henry Winkler a few years back at a convention and he was the nicest guy I have ever met. He went down the line of people and got all of the kids together and did the coin trick from the movie CLICK. It was surreal!!!
About 16:50 is what . ..more guest need to say, The Fonz says it a LOT here. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I am laughing so hard. I absolutely loved this entire conversation with these two. Moments of when it went off the rails but reeled right back on track. Hysterical 😂
He was so great in The Lords of Flatbush.
Love that movie! Sly, Henry, and we all thought Perry King would be a big star.
I just love Henry. He is an adorable human and one of the few who remains likeable even when not agreeing with the host. Though Bill can be prickly to say the least.
I LOLed at Henry saying 'You talk too much' and that really wound Bill up!
This was so enjoyable to watch. Made me see Henry Winkler with an even bigger heart. I dont care about his politics, because I just like him. Seems like such a sweet man. A nice conversation
Think about this. His politics is a reflection of what you love about this guy....
@@bradcwellman Nah he has lived a whole life, he has manners and charm. His politics are just a recent veneer of indoctrination which I don't care for either.
I’ve only heard really lovely things about this man. Loved him in Barry!
where's Tarantino part 2???
coming soon!
I doubt it. Probably QT came back from his piss, sat down, and thought " fuk this lets eat...!! " im guessing there's maybe 10 mins max of more drunken bullshit....
Coming, 2025.
"You like Israel, you like violence"...
...still with the lawyers.
They where probably too drunk to air lol
I love Henry’s warm vibe energy. From Dressing in color, to his sense of humor, and all around genuine wholesomeness. It’s refreshing and engaging:)
