00:00 Henry Winkler took a little dancing tumble on TikTok
00:02 promoting his 41st book, "Out Now,"
00:04 but you know there's no stopping the Fonz.
00:07 He's a legend who's sharing all his Hollywood stories
00:10 with our Rachel Smith.
00:11 - One of your first jobs before you got out to LA
00:15 was working with a young Sly Stallone.
00:18 - Oh, the Lords of Flatbush.
00:20 When I first met him, he was beefy.
00:24 He talked out of the side of his mouth.
00:26 He was tough.
00:28 But underneath was an articulate writer
00:32 who was so funny and dry.
00:35 He was amazing.
00:37 Well, he still is, he's still alive.
00:38 - Henry's got some of the best connections in Hollywood.
00:41 He's pals with Ron Howard and buddy Adam Sandler
00:44 just recreated his waterboy role
00:46 in honor of the new book, "Being Henry, The Fonz and Beyond."
00:50 - Mama, did you hear that?
00:51 Mr. Coach Kahn wrote a book.
00:53 You and I, we're gonna talk to Mama.
00:55 Mr. Coach Kahn was Fonzie?
00:57 - Adam, he is the most loyal human being.
01:01 - Why did phone calls from Adam Sandler and Bill Hader,
01:03 why do you think they came at the right time?
01:05 - I don't know.
01:06 But to be in those two projects
01:09 literally helped me make my new mark.
01:14 - And you got a primetime Emmy.
01:17 - This memoir is filled with great stories,
01:19 including the reason behind these iconic happy days moments.
01:23 - So I walked to the mirror.
01:25 I really don't wanna comb my hair.
01:28 I pull out that comb and I go, look at that.
01:31 I don't have to 'cause it's perfect.
01:34 - Of course, we have another reason to celebrate.
01:37 Henry just turned 78 yesterday.
01:39 We've got some beautiful messages for you.
01:43 - Oh, Henry Winkler, I wish you happy birthday.
01:45 - The best, little spectacular 39th birthday.
01:50 - However you're spending it, I hope it's just fabulous.
01:54 - Happy birthday, Papa.
01:57 - We love you.
01:58 - Oh my goodness, and here they,
02:00 and my grandchildren, it's unbelievable.
02:03 You know, people say, oh, he's the nicest guy in Hollywood.
02:06 I'm not nice so much as I am joyous.
02:11 (upbeat music)
