70th Emmy Awards: Henry Winkler Wins For Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series

[@zbeebs]

"I wrote this 43 years ago..." Brilliant!

[@frankyramone]

David Cervera his kids stayed up for 43 years and finally got to go to sleep.

[@joshuahecht6866]

Franky Ramone They did go to sleep When it is late at night and they did well for the mornings and the evenings

[@ragekawawa]

there's something priceless about him telling his adult children to go to bed

[@lnfreeman]

He said he wrote the speech 40 years ago LMAO

[@highplainsdrifter8518]

​​@@lnfreemanlol forty years just waiting to be told.

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

They say he's the nicest guy in Hollywood, so I'm glad he finally won an Emmy.

[@47and28]

i met him at a shoot in the 90s. he was directing commercials at the time. really nice guy.

[@TheAlienGinger]

@@47and28 Why was Henry Winkler directing commercials in the 90's?

[@Ecfotografy]

The rumors are true

[@47and28]

you'll have to ask him why. but this is from his imdb page: Directed Taco Bell TV commercial Directed TV commercial for Windex glass and surface cleaners Directed TV commercial for Denny's restaurants Directed TV commercial for McDonald's

[@mpetrie]

I met him at a local convention. Seriously, one of the nicest celebrities I've met. The guy would leave his table just to walk up and down the lines of people waiting to meet him and greet them and shake their hands. He's very genuine and humble. A class act. Well deserved!

[@AuntieSDC]

Henry Winkler, only married once, to the same woman, Stacy ( Henry is her second marriage), his wife of 40 years, his son and daughter are both in their late 30s. Henry Winkler was diagnosed with severe dyslexia at age 31, yet he has been in the industry , which requires reading and memorizing scripts, which has been his challenge for 40 years. This is a well deserved award for a hard working actor.

[@fun2badult]

He was so awesome in the Water Boy. That movie made me happy

[@rawyld]

And his God Daughter is Ron Howard's daughter Bryce

[@USA92]

Heres another comment. Thankfully you have nothing to do with this man.

[@dlxmarks]

It's a wonderful testament to Henry Winkler and Ron Howard that they've maintained a close friendship for over 40 years. Winkler unexpectedly supplanted Howard as the star of 'Happy Days' and typically that leads to bad blood on the set but they handled the situation with grace and professionalism. Plus Winkler avoided the common mistake of the hyped TV star becoming full of himself. He never seemed to take fame for granted.

[@Old_Prospector]

Weird that you felt it necessary to point out it's Stacy's second marriage.

[@streetrat48]

This Emmy isn't just for Barry, It's for every damn role he's ever had on TV. WELL DESERVED!!

[@RoyalMasterpiece]

💯

[@bettycogswell9851]

Amen..

[@BlackStorm555]

Right On!!!

[@wangson]

I felt that way too. I may be Canadian but it's obvious that Henry Winkler is an American treasure. Well done, Mr. Winkler!

[@eduardomendoza6671]

Especially water boy so underrated

[@ShelleyTemplar1986]

I love how the other nominees all looked genuinely happy that Henry won :D

[@stevenstrange8506]

AHHH...... Thats called acting, if im not mistaken

[@ameyadubey2532]

Kenan Thompson and Tony Shaloub were clearly acting .. and that's okay.

[@JohnCee754]

You could see Alec Baldwin mouthing "Wow" while applauding warmly. Nice to see -- Henry Winkler richly deserved an Emmy.

[@nothingspecial6879]

Tony Shaloub does what Rachel told Joey to do if he lose the award!

[@victorcheng8311]

Respect. Respect for one's elders gives character.

[@aybanpali]

God y’all took 43 years to give this man an Emmy?!

[@Figs3]

I'll be honest, I was bummed at first that because I wanted Titus to win. But after I found out how long he never won. I was like "How dare they never give this man an Emmy!!"

[@MrStGeorgeIllawarra]

Bob Newheart never won till his guest role on Big Bang. Hugh Laurie never won for House, Martin Sheen never won for The West Wing. The Emmys suck sometimes.

[@jwelch5742]

He has won Emmys before in 1985 for Outstanding Children's Special for executive producing CBS Schoolbreak Special: All the Kids Do It and in 2005 for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program for playing Norville in Clifford's Puppy Days. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Winkler#Honors_and_awards

[@pigs18]

June Foray didn't even get a nomination until she was 94. She holds the record for the oldest nominee and winner in Emmy history.

[@CarynDPrescott]

@@pigs18 Wow 😲

[@weasley2o13]

The most well deserved standing ovation in the history of this award show. Period. Bill was just about to cry and I think that says everything about him and Henry as people, let alone artists.

[@stansmith8499]

That's what ICONS deserve :)

[@wangson]

Absolutely.

[@tijan8948]

💯

[@ccchhhrrriiisss100]

Henry Winkler is so much bigger and better than the Fonz. He is a scene stealer in every production that he's a part of because he has the on-screen charisma and persona of a very likable person.

[@ironmaster6496]

Strongly agree, he is really Dynamic too, just look at him in Arrested Development he is HILARIOUS THERE and Nothing like The Fonz

[@cut1986]

Yes. But the Fonz is still awesome too. Credit to Mr. Winkler!

[@jamievana8991]

Agree. I went with a friend to see "Scream" in Austin(back in the day), and the audience lost it when he first appeared on screen.

[@tijan8948]

He’s a genuine person and fully engages. People notice that on an unconscious level

[@DrGreenThumbNZL]

Don't forget Macgyver ! One of the best tv shows

[@williammccormick2802]

The guy has been in the business for over 40 years. I've never heard anyone say a single bad thing about him. Such a great moment for him.

[@tijan8948]

That must be the joke in Barry where his character is hated by everyone in the industry 😅

[@shmookins]

Well deserved. He _killed_ it in Arrested Development.

[@MGSBigBoss77]

Cos he jumped a Shark again? (lol), nah much agreed man. Arrested Development always sadly under appreciated as a series because its a show without the silly; 'canned' laughter!

[@sol3496]

"Ugh, I forgot to take the tin foil off. I really wanted that."

[@benconnor3206]

Shadow Heart haha i loved him in AD, i love when he would make excuses for why he was late and it just cuts to the rest stop at night 🤣

[@jamesremmers1842]

"Hes very good"

[@a123443210]

"He was far from the best"

[@Dvp1169]

I’m here because of his memoir, “Being Henry”. I can’t put it down. With all his success, he is so honest about his feelings of inadequacy, his negativity. I could so relate. Only recently has he made an effort to quell those negative thoughts…”don’t even finish the sentence, replace the negative thought with a positive one”. I so appreciate his honesty in the book, and I celebrate his much-deserved success in his profession. ❤

[@SlightlyCrunchyMom]

Good for him. When he spoke to his kids, I thought they must be little (you can go to bed now, Daddy won) but they are in their thirties, lol.

[@user-ce2br4wn7f]

[@jennifer_m.8613]

The grandkids can go to bed now, too - Grandpa won. 😊

[@Schmidteren]

The way he yelled Daddy won at the end. I'm tearing up from emotions. Such a great guy. Ell deserved. Amazing performance in Barry!

[@SM-gl8yo]

I have met Mr. Winkler and he is a true gentleman. Congratulations!!!!!

[@trinjames]

How do you not fucking love that speech? A genuine sweetheart of a man. People like him are scarce. The sheer joy in his voice when he says "daddy won" Wow! You can also tell that the other nominees were super happy for him.

[@ambercherise2391]

This one was SOOOOOOOOO HARD. This one could have gone in so many directions, and they all would have been wonderful! What a wonderful speech so full of heart!

[@jpc3874]

But aren't you mad at the white man?

[@ErisRising]

Strong disagreement. He's a versatile sketch player, and while he's only had a couple of breakout recurring characters, he's the understated glue that has elevated much of the material he's been given, even in smaller roles.

[@ThePete1081]

I thought it would go to Brian Tyree Henry, but I'm happy for Winkler.

[@alanm7875]

The fonz, finally won, he should have won years ago, am really happy for him! You finally did it fonz!😎👍👍👍🍺🍻

[@DetroitLives313]

Yep! I was just a teenager in high school watching him as "The Fonz". We just had our 40th Class reunion last month! The moral of the story here is NEVER GIVE UP!

[@alanm7875]

Henry Winkler is such a nice person, no wonder he doesn't win many awards.

[@annafowdy]

@Da Koynul except the Nobel Peace Prize.

[@philipblakely6030]

He doesn't boast his political views on people. That's why he has never won before. Award shows are based on hatred and bias political views.

[@Cartooncountdown]

He won a golden globe tied with Ron Howard

[@bletheringfool]

Fantastic. A true gent. I met him and discussed childhood memories with him, well deserved!

[@Claude-Eckel]

Truly happy for him. I've watched it alone and suddenly saw myself applauding too when I heard his name. Also nice to see how his co-nominees like Tony Shalhoub and Alec Baldwin are sincerely delighted for him to have won this thingy.

[@juliodavid1989]

me too i was clapping

[@misterdrgn5155]

Yeah, they were. Tony's won enough Emmys, and I don't think Alec wanted to win for playing that role.

[@SomeGuyInNevada24]

He won last year's Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy in 2017 for his work as President Trump on SNL.

[@moodyjenny86]

I love how before his name is called he is obviously on the edge of his seat, gripping the chair in front of him. If you pause at 1:25, the people behind him are GENUINELY happy and excited for him. So warm and humbling to witness.

Married her police officer husband at the Winkler home. She now has four children of her own. Guess she saw what a happy home looked like! Grew up with the Fonz! So happy he has had a happy personal life.

And I will never forget the day my grandma and I saw him at the local Macy’s and he opened the front door for us, bowing and smiling silently. We didn’t bug him, just graciously said “Thank you so much, sir!” and let him enjoy the mall. In such a small moment we immediately knew he is a kind and humble person, and it’s really cool to see all the comments here sharing similar encounters with him.

[@canadiantraveller281]
