Henry Winkler Praises Ron Howard's Emmy-Nominated Performance on The Studio
Henry Winkler expresses his admiration for his longtime friend Ron Howard, who recently received his first acting Emmy nomination for his role in The Studio. Winkler shares that Howard was thrilled about the nomination and spoke to him before filming his scenes for the show. He praises Howard's dedication to the role and describes the series as excellent.
If Winkler were to appear on The Studio, he would join a star-studded lineup of guest stars from the first season, including Martin Scorsese, Anthony Mackie, Zöe Kravitz, and Dave Franco. Bryan Cranston also received an Emmy nomination for his guest role on the show. The sitcom Happy Days, in which both Winkler and Howard starred, ran for 11 seasons from 1974 to 1984.
Winkler and Howard shared a brief reunion at the 2024 Emmys, where they reminisced about their time on Happy Days. Winkler describes the experience as heartwarming and expresses his deep affection for Howard. Howard plays a fictionalized version of himself on The Studio and was moved to tears in a scene with Seth Rogen's character.
The Studio, starring Seth Rogen as the head of Continental Studios, has garnered critical acclaim, with Howard's performance earning him his first acting Emmy nomination. The 2025 Emmys will air on September 14, and fans can expect to see more of Howard's talent on display.
