Scott Baio attacked the Happy Days reunion that’s being held to raise funds for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin because he believes the event promotes “socialism and Marxism.” The actor also took shots at John Stamos, who had jokingly offered to play Baio’s role of Chachi in the reunion.
He was the death nail for Happy Days. He singlehandedly destroyed that show.
Well, they did kind of run out of story lines. In the entertainment world, "jump the shark" (a reference to Fonzzi jumping over a shark on water skis) is terminology that refers to shows that have gone on way past their prime.
@barjoe I was working as an Extra on a really bad TV movie he was in, and I saw him look at me and then talk to a PA who moved my position behind a pillar, so the camera wouldn't see me. I didn't really care because I got paid either way, but I though it showed he really has a very fragile ego.
He is a really terrible actor. I think the only thing he was in that I liked was "Behind the Candelabra." where he played a supporting role. His part was small enough not to ruin the project.
