“Happy Days” stars Ron Howard and Henry Winkler reunited on the Emmy Awards’ stage on Sunday night.
Winkler made a joke during the pair’s introduction while honoring the iconic show’s 50th anniversary. On the stage, which was a recreated scene of Arnold’s Drive-In, Winkler and Howard noted that they weren’t welcomed by the “Happy Days” theme song.
Winkler hit the jukebox onstage to get the song, by Pratt & McClain, to start playing.
