Henry Winkler Is Cooler Than The Fonz | Breaking Bread with Tom Papa

[@jodyesperanza657]

I took a break to watch his Emmy speech, and I'm all teared up! I was a 12 year old when Happy Days debuted, and Henry has been a joy in my life for over 50 years. Well played, old man, well played.

[@lindaschneider4904]

What a kind, sharp, heart-filled Soul the Fonz is. Every word he uttered made me feel deeply happy. Knowing a man with these sensitivities exists is redemptive.

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

I love watching their ecstatic joy discussing the Thanksgiving leftovers sandwich. Same! PS-- Henry was one of your best guests yet. Charming!

[@mikelgibson4781]

Please have him back ASAP. Henry is one of the most honest human beings who in spite of having a harsh childhood became such a loving person. I too have had old school parents who would berate you instead of help you fix your problems. I totally agree to help your children, help them, not yell at you on why you failed. Children need to be parented and helped not tell them to figure it out yourself.

[@sarahsullivan5882]

Henry Winkler is an absolute treasure. I loved this so much

[@annie_wow84]

Tom, I cannot express how much I enjoy these chats. Thanks for sharing them ☺️

[@jolindawiedmeier8391]

I love Henry Winkler. I wish he would be on the series, Murders in the Building. He would be amazing on there.

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

Excellent idea!

[@jamescargill4370]

Tom, If this interview were to have lasted 4 hours, it still would not have been long enough. The absolute BEST interview with Henry I have ever heard. GREAT JOB! 😊

[@beckysmith8018]

Thanks for having Henry on. The Fonz is about the only one who can pull us out of the funk of this election cycle.

[@X9523-z3v]

Well, please, don't let us forget about the election cycle. Can you imagine if we did? Just living life? We can't have that

[@DanaHearMeRoar]

I’ve met several actors thru the years, but only 2 ever had me tongue-tied. I almost tackled Tom in the Burbank airport one time and begged him to come to my city to do a show. Then a few months later I was in line behind Henry and his wife at LAX airport and stumbled all over my words telling him he was my childhood hero. Both were calm, gracious, and genuine in their appreciation for my enthusiasm. National treasures, both of them.

[@64choicesyaaaa]

I met him in person and he is even more wonderful than on T.V. He's HONEST and DOWN to earth and Very giving of his kindness ❣️. I absolutely love him.... He's EVERYTHING you dream he is but BETTER 💞💗

[@lynnturman8157]

Henry Winkler is who helped me understand what it was that actors do. I was about 10 when Happy Days started and the Fonz became not only the most famous character on television, but a cultural phenomenon. Anyway, like everybody else, I loved the Fonz. And then I remember seeing Henry Winkler on a talk show or something & I was just blown away by how different he was to the Fonz. And then the light bulb came on & I realized: "Oh, now I get it. Actors are not the characters they are playing. They are pretending to be somebody else." It was quite the revelation.

[@dirkbag22]

I felt like I was sitting there at the table, listening and not speaking, and then I felt the loss when it was over, after hanging out with these two and now I have to go home.

[@JENNIFERBOO]

I met Henry Winkler at FanExpo in 2005 maybe 2006 in Toronto - the most sweetest man ever! I was all hot and sweaty from running to his booth to make it there on time and he still gave me the biggest hug ever. ❤ Real One ☝️ and wish I could act in a scene with him 💯and had No Idea he had reading issues. He surely has over come that obstacle. 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@NewTeacher4993]

Henry is just the best in every way! His timing is perfect with a comedy line and he also has a lot of wisdom to share. Gave me some stuff to think about as a parent.

[@diannanagelvoortsaltz469]

I love Henry! Such a wonderful human.

[@ReverendSoupbone]

I thoroughly enjoyed this entire interview! Henry seems like a really warm human! His observations about having a learning disability so young and how it shaped his entire being resonated. I was miserable my entire youth because I was constantly reminded of how stupid and bad I was. Some people should not be parents.

[@m.c.morris6714]

Such an amazing interview. Loved the way that Henry was so genuinely interested in Tom’s life, the details and how generous and kind they both are. Beautiful souls - and when there seems to be a shortage - #Redemptive. Thank you.

[@wiseasswench]

Absolutely spectacular! I grew up watching Happy Days. Henry is just an amazing human being!

[@zeissofficial]

Winklers comedic delivery is perfect

[@NewTeacher4993]

I listened to him on Bill Mahers podcast. Bill Maher couldn’t even keep up. Lol

[@YaWantTaters]

👍🏼 ayyyyyyyyy 👍🏼 Loved it! Excellently interesting chat. Tom this might be my favorite but I'm still watching your vids

[@waakdfms2576]

What an absolute pleasure spending part of my afternoon with you two amazing human beings -- I laughed, cried, gasped, pondered, wondered, admired, identified with, remembered, etc., etc., and enjoyed every precious minute of it....bless you both and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@StaceyD-t3i]

I adore this. Grew up watching Happy Days and always wondered why there was a banner hanging on the set of Arnold’s that said ‘Stacey’. That is my name, same spelling, I realized decades later that is his wife’s name and that may be why it was there? This is my fourth episode watching Tom’s sit downs. His calmness and pacing is so comforting. Thank you for these episodes. 😊

[@a.girl.has.no.name_]

Tom is basically the warm blanket my frazzled soul needs in order to unwind

[@chillnophone2024]

This is great, and I'm only a third done. Thank goodness for the charmed Henry Winkler. Really a class act, and a lovely chat. Thanks, Tom. 🎉

[@andypullega5479]

Hey Tom, big fan of your comedy, I might be a bigger fan of you're interviewing skills. That was great! Thanks for that, loved it!

[@jessicapierce3845]

Truly the two coolest men. Who wouldn't want to be either of you? Totally rewatching Memories of Me. Great film

[@karenanderson5218]

Haha, don’t give me those berries!

[@aaron666ism]

This might be the most wholesome podcast ever.

[@tracymorgan8026]

Perfection in a podcast Tom Papa and Henry Winkler!

[@MissingMars]

this is beyond excellent! You two feed off of each other in a wonderful way. Thank you both!

[@AllTheBestCO]

Great interview. Thanks for posting, Tom. Seeing both of you and Henry (A+ celebrities) one-on-one showed such dynamic chemistry - similar to the "Dinner with Andre" movie. You're a funny guy, Tom. A fantastic comedian.

[@Smoochie71804]

26:44 “In the 70s you could use your tie for a tablecloth” 😂🤣

[@mattrklein]

This episode made my everything smile. Thank you.

[@kathleencheever4486]

Mr. Winklers interview made me cry, twice. I had to back it up twice. Thanksgiving dinner would be my last supper. Wow you always give me so much food for thought.

[@arielak8598]

I bought Henry’s book on Audible bc I wanted to hear his story narrated by him. Loved it!

[@christinadavies9862]

Thanks Tom

[@Smoochie71804]

I grew up on The Fonz like so many millions and I’ll always hold Henry in high esteem for that role. It’s the icing on the cake of a beautiful career. Thanks to you both.

[@cristinalacoste2062]

I love Henry Winkler!

[@paulmccarthy2032]

Today I am going to be more like Henry Winkler..kind considerate and engaged..wish me luck!

[@kierstenridgway4634]

I don't read as much as I used to. But I love to listen while I sew or whatever. I'll be listening to your book after this!!! Ayyy! Btw, I have a Fonzie doll that when you move the little lever on his back, his thumbs go up. He's way up on a shelf. ❤❤❤✌️

[@a1qcaguy]

First video I viewed by Mr. Papa, just subscribed too!!! I wonder who is interviewing who??? LOL The Fonz is so polite, wow!

[@FMFM-ew5jb]

Incredible interview Tom! ❤️ Sharing!

[@user-hm5zb1qn6g]

I want to say that I loved Heroes, Winkler's movie from 1977.

[@scottnorwood659]

One of the best guests on pods. Also he’s probably the nicest person in showbiz still working today. Just as nice in real life as in interviews. Absolutely nice to all his fans. One of my favorite that I’ve met so far.

[@andrewmasseo51]

That advice at the end is good

[@Iceracer25]

One of the funniest actors ever. I feel he was underutilized in the comedy movies of our lives. Pure gold

[@angelica351a]

This was a great podcast really enjoyed it

[@braziliantexatlantis7485]

Heroes is wonderful; Henry has nothing to regret about it. I have mental illness, it's a lot, and he nailed a lot.

[@AbbyAvon]

I’ve loved Henry Winkler since happy days when I was a kid but so appreciate that as an adult I’m able to find him so amazing not so much as a character but as a human being and having had those kind of struggles and still be such a funny, generous, deep human being and choosing to go above the drama and be true to self.

[@jimmyhenson2167]

Thanks Fonz buddy. You’re great !! From Texas.

[@jimmyhenson2167]

Come on.

[@scottpeterson4946]

Great interview

[@DaoshiBo]

What a beautiful soul. Thank you 🙏 ☯️

[@karenkingrey6142]

I’m going to make a big mistake here, but I listened to his book on audible and was shocked! That stinkin book literally has everything. Every emotion, every detail, everything! He really gives us so much. And then I had to buy the thing and read it so I could, as well, hear it in the voice of the Fonz. Idk. I’m still 8 yrs old at heart. lol. I love Fonzie and I so adore Henry. Thank you for this interview!! 💙

[@MsDebSteeves]

I just rewatched the "goodbye Richie" scene on KZbin.... I'm a mess... thank you Henry... for ALL those heartwarming memories.

[@JaneMcKee-l4b]

I loved Henry in “An American Christmas Carol as Scrooge”

[@michaelbenson9518]

Henry and Tom eating Cheez-Its made my day.

[@henrysmommy7]

I can't imagine the sort of person who doesn't absolutely adore Henry Winkler. The Fonz was the best, but honestly I find Henry's character and gentleness to be transcendent. The world is a better place because he is in it and even more so because his chosen profession has allowed that light to be seen and felt by all of us regular people out here. ❤️❤️

[@melissab1044]

I enjoyed this video so much! Henry Winkler is so entertaining and charming!

[@davidtmccarty]

OMG. That’s also my favorite Thanksgiving experience. Never thought to fry the stuffing though. Everything else to a T. Although instead of Wonder, I use the leftover dinner rolls and make sliders.

[@Nels_77]

I love Henry. Only ever heard of him being a kind man.

[@DaGubah501]

Oh forget it, Happy Days? ❤home❤

[@gingerhitzke9185]

My favorite Breaking Bread episode ever ❤

[@susanberry2649]

What a lovely man. Henry Winkler.

[@maroosk]

He definitely is❤ lifelong love.

[@Polkadotpup]

I saw your new special on Netflix. Just great, I laughed so hard I had tears running down my face. Spontaneously, I take snippets of your wisdom and roll it around with my girlfriends. They think I am really funny. Someday, I’ll fess up.

[@semmaville]

now I remember why I had the hots for Fonzie... he is still suave....

[@angelica351a]

His book was great

[@Jewels4wcd]

Love Henry Winkler ❤️ I agree with what he said about his parents, I believe it’s generational. My parents were there but not present, I knew I was going to be different with my children. I grew-up with the Fonz.

[@QuestionMan]

I feel compassion for all funny people. As I'm laughing, I'm thinking, "wow, where did they come from?" (I feel similarly for all performers.) Witty and funny are two different things. I believe that performative humor comes from a dark place. Bless them all.

[@haveagreatday9865]

I knew he was very nice but he’s also really funny

[@Jasmine34952]

Dear Tom. I love your conversations with your guests. I do have a question though. In every episode there is a bread which you baked (?) for your guest. Is this correct? If yes, I'm just wondering why they never seem to eat or even try any of it. Is there a reason for this?

[@delishbutty]

winkler in waterboy is fs underrated lol

[@tomdelaney419]

I'm so hangry for the Winkler Turkey sandwich on Wonder bread

[@traceridpath6614]

Thank you Tommy ❤ this one got my feelers going

[@steveflor9942]

Fonzi, riding a motorcycle on Happy Days... Sy Middleman, lives in a Hospital Janitor's Closet on Chidren's Hospital...... Same Guy !!!! Amazing.

[@bodes-iso7851]

Turkey bacon what is that?? Just about fell off my chair😂😂😂

[@Yankeehorseman]

2 of the nicest guys ever

[@drsmith4806]

Henry Winkler is the best & my favorite sandwich is the same but now I have to fry the stuffing thanks fonz

[@AbbyAvon]

Nice to know I’m not the only one to read on kindle then buy the book if it was a fave read!

[@Aztec73]

"You ain't nobody until you do what you want!". 👍 🇺🇸

[@DanJanTube]

How many people are in the room? Nobody could tell Tom about the string on his collar?

[@hettyspee-bw9rb]

Love this

[@johnwelch6490]

Henry is a fly fisherman.

[@emu_warrior]

This is insane, he's so funny

[@kusc717]

Tom looks soooooo happy. Cheeks are tight with smiles.

[@jenmcbride3318]

My mama would have been mad at until she heard your voice

[@caniican]

.. I'm not 💯 certain....but ..I think Henry is the nicest human ever...next to my mother.😎👍🌺🙏😍

[@robertking7269]

Winklers cool Just like all tough guys he wore the leather jacket for self defense until he was willing to face the true enemy. Himself Thanks for sharing your beautiful spirit Fonzie

[@InglouriousBradsterd]

I just stuffed a half a loaf of crusty bread in the microwave.....for 20 minutes......anybody want some? I have butter....

[@QuestionMan]

Gorgus was a mining engineer who accompanied Alexander the Great. That is fascinating imagery.

[@semmaville]

Remember when Fonzie always said "sit on it" but then added "and rotate".... the controversy!!!

[@LJBeasy]

❤

[@marcofreitas3844]

Who´sthe lady on the photo Henry referred to? Eydie Gormé?

[@XAirForcedotcom]

How dare you insult the Fonz. Henry is probably the reason why I started buying motorcycles when I first win in the military. Lol

[@XAirForcedotcom]

Went

[@XAirForcedotcom]

lol, the FBI knocked on your door to meet you. Lol

[@XAirForcedotcom]

I ran for president of the United States and told the world about COVID-19 five weeks ahead of the government actually doing anything substantial and they won’t come out and investigate but they wanted to meet the Fonz. There is something absolutely wrong with society.

[@XAirForcedotcom]

Both political parties directly interfered with the 2020 election and 600,000 Americans died that didn’t need to. They won’t investigate that but they’ll go play games to meet people. You are an embarrassment, federal government, and that includes Secret Service, who physically attacked me, and then lied to the media about every single detail to include who I was.

[@marcielapido8367]

Mama Termite can’t wait to see you in Bensalem.

[@pi1810]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@blond339]

he has become - the fonz

[@IPlayOneOnT.V.]

Mustard has no expiration date at all, even with the top off. Look it up, please.

[@didsomebodysaydmt8193]

They both lost me with the Billy Crystal is funny talk. Ok I laughed once at Billy Crystal when he pulled his hand out of the cow and said "this was not in the brochure", but I doubt he wrote that even.

[@andrewmasseo51]

The fonz was an incel, wild

[@joyceb.sachsesachse1242]

Papa, great INTERVIEWS with all you're guests, you make other podcast amateur and also the pros, like crap including all the late nite shows..........luv ya guy . You are the best in this type of interviewing, like Bill Maher a idiot and blowveating fool.
