32

Speaker 4: I mean we're literally a text way, you know, just

33
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: and we never talked business, We never talk about you know,

34
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 4: we just talk about you know, love and heart and family.

35
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 4: And it's just been a wonderful friendship. And just to

36
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 4: have that and on a show, to have that kind

37
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 4: of friendship that many years, it's it's pretty unique. But

38
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 4: that's a lot to do with Gary Marshall, our mentor,

39
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 4: you know. And he was like a like a college professor,

40
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 4: and he he really cared about us, not just as

41
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 4: a showruner, but as young people because we didn't know much.

42
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: And he really inspired us to educate ourselves in entertainment.

43
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 4: To our many hats. He made sure that Paramount Studios

44
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 4: was a college. He made it a meaning guys, you know,

45
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 4: if you want to last in this business, you better

46
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: wear quite a few hats and get it, get out,

47
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 4: get don't get in the way of yourself. You're not

48
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 4: that great, you know, you really aren't. He said, you know,

49
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 4: shadow directors come to the writing sessions, go to the

50
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 4: editing rooms, whatever you need. This is your school. And

51
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: I think that's why all of us are still involved.

52
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: And that's it.

53
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,839

00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 2: in like that and let all of you learn the

55
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 2: ropes in the ins and outs of not just acting

56
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: but the business.

57
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: Yes, I get so smart. I wish we had that.

58
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 4: Well, and I tried as a director to to kind

59
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: of pay that forward early on Gary, Here we are.

60
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: He sat us down. I'll never get He sat us down.

61
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 4: He said, you guys are gonna be famous. Don't deserve it.

62
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: You're gonna be famous. There's gonna be a light on you.

63
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 4: Your responsibility is take the light and put it on

64
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 4: someone that does deserve it, help them out. And it

65
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 4: really hit it hit home, and you know, we've all

66
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 4: kind of live by that. And the other thing he did,

67
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 4: which was incredible. They asked people ask us, oh, what's

68
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 4: the greatest moments on the set of Happy Days? What's

69
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: And I think I thought, well, it's not really the set.

70
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,119
Speaker 4: I mean we had fun times. It was the ball team.

71
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 4: It was a softball team. And Gary was a sports fanatic,

72
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: and he goes, I'd like us to go to every

73
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 4: colleg I'd like to go to every major stadium in

74
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: the United States. Let's put together a ball team. We're

75
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: all ex athletes. The only one who wasn't was Henry,

76
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 4: but Ron Howard and Clenn Howard's brother taught him how

77
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 4: to pitch and he ended up being really, really good.

78
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 4: So he really had a very good ball team. And

79
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: Gary put this team together and we played in every

80
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 4: major stadium in the United States, pregames, hardly ever lost.

81
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 4: We went on USO Tours, playing against the Marines, the

82
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 4: Army you know over the China Sea where the third

83
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 4: Infantry Division Germany, and he said, he goes, and I

84
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 4: put it together because, yeah, he goes, you always have

85
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 4: the back of your teammate. I think it's going to

86
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: come back to the set. I think it's going to

87
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 4: stop a lot of egos. And sure enough, I mean

88
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 4: for over a decade. Yeah, ball team, And those are

89
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 4: the moments. I mean, we're we're in Germany. Uh what

90
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 4: was the name of that? Oh gosh, the small third

91
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 4: Infrey Division and what's the name of the town? I

92
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 4: forgot But in that little town, it was very original,

93
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 4: over a thousand years old, and there was a castle

94
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 4: and it was the original suit of armors and everything

95
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 4: else in there. But they turned it into a restaurant

96
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 4: and an overlooked brine river and there's Ron Henry Donny

97
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 4: myself where at the table. Instead of serving water, they

98
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 4: had wine dispensers. You got a glass of wine, not water. Wow,

99
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 4: we were feeling no pain. So we ended up going

100
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 4: outside on this original terrorists that's one thousand and seven

101
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 4: years old, singing splush blasts to the entire over the

102
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: Rhine River, to the entire city of Wartzburg. Okay, you

103
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 4: can't make those stories up, man, what.

104
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 2: An incredibly I wish that we had that kind of

105
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: somebody sit us down in the beginning and say, we

106
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: are a team, we are together.

107
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: You're so young, you don't know. You need someone to

108
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 3: kind of guide. Wait, was the ball team called Happy

109
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: Days or it.

110
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 4: Was the Happy Day Team? And it's so great And

111
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: if you wanted a line in Happy Days, it's an extra.

112
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: Just be a good ballplayer, football player. Listen, we're taking

113
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 4: you to Germany. I'll give you a line.

114
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: That's how you recruited.

115
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 4: I'm telling you. It was so basic, it was so tactile,

116
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 4: the whole situation was, and it was so funny. Got

117
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 4: to the point where Jerry Paris are amazing director, one

118
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 4: of the greatest comedy directors in history. He did All

119
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: the Dick Band, He played Jerry the dentist next door

120
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 4: in Melbourk's. We had the most most brilliant comedy minds

121
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: in the world on that set, which is incredible. But

122
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 4: but it got to the point where people would come

123
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: down and they thought we were nuts during rehearsal because

124
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 4: you know, it was three camera at the time, so

125
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 4: it's like a play, you know, which I think, by

126
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 4: the way, really helped with the camaraderie, unlike nine on

127
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 4: two one zero, where it's kind of piecemealed. It's a

128
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 4: you know, it's like a movie. Here we're together every day.

129
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 4: Every day, we're together rehearsing theater basically. But it got

130
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: to the point he'd say, okay, here first rehearsal. Okay,

131
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 4: your answers start here, you go there, Henry coming here, Okay,

132
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 4: let's go. It's like going, well, hey, Richie ah, you

133
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 4: never had to say words a grunt. You knew it

134
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: wasn't funny, you knew the timing is all. You didn't

135
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 4: have to say anything. You knew. So basically rehearsal was

136
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 4: a bunch of grunts and people would say, what are they?

137
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 4: Is that a language? What are they doing?

138
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: It's yeah, oh that's so good when you know somebody

139
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: so well grunts everything, uh huh.

140
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 4: And I really do think, and I actually think for

141
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 4: you guys, because honestly, the one thing directing nine or

142
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 4: two and zero and all that, I don't remember the

143
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 4: scripts that much. I remember you guys and the joy

144
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 4: of working with you guys all individually different days. Just

145
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 4: a wonderful group, no we goes, I mean really beautiful.

146
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 4: And I really remember the times you reached starting to

147
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 4: direct an episode and all our direct you'd ask questions

148
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 4: and it was just a beautiful time on a set

149
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: with a great and a wonderful cast and just so

150
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 4: heartfelt uh so kind to me, you know, I mean,

151
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 4: because you know you're the director, you're the odd person out.

152
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: Well, what what made you want to pivot from being

153
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 2: like this iconic character in television history to directing to

154
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: going behind the scenes.

155
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 4: Well, actually it actually started early in that I started

156
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 4: writing and producing for directing. I never really meant to

157
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 4: just stay at an actor at all. I actually thought

158
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: I got a lot for not much. I thought I

159
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 4: went about as far as I can go as an actor.

160
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 4: I've always been more interested behind the camera, writing or whatever.

161
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 4: So I did educate myself as on the paramount lot,

162
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 4: just in terms of the craft and all that. And

163
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 4: then in nineteen eighty Ron Howard had a deal at

164
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 4: NBC for three movies of the Weeks, and the first

165
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 4: two were like okay, And I told I said to Ron,

166
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 4: you know, I said, you're too good. You got to

167
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 4: do something substantial here. You got a movie of the week.

168
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 4: Assess something something. So one night I visited my parents

169
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 4: in Burbank, and I was driving back home and I

170
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: passed the Burmac Airport and kind of a remote area

171
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 4: of it, I saw this old plane and I saw

172
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 4: someone in a wheelchair handing something to someone working on

173
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: the plane. And I had been involved in with several

174
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 4: palsy because my cousin had several palsy, so I was

175
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 4: I did a lot of charity work. And I looked

176
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 4: at that and I went, WHOA, and this idea came

177
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 4: to be called Skyward. I said, you make this child

178
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 4: in this always look up. You're always looking up, so

179
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 4: they're always looking skyward and this so everything becomes free

180
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 4: in the sky and basically, will I ever look down?

181
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 4: Will they ever look up at me? And I thought,

182
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 4: what if this person learned to fly? So created this

183
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 4: film called Skywork. I visited to Ron, he said, I

184
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 4: love this. We went to Brandon Tartakoff at NBC. He said,

185
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 4: I love this. I looked. So they put it into

186
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 4: the and we wrote a script and they he said, okay,

187
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 4: that's great. Melissa su and is playing the lead. We

188
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 4: have this deal with her, and Ron and I are going,

189
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 4: you know, we really should have we found this disabled actress.

190
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 4: It's fantastic. No one knows they're fantastic, and we really

191
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 4: shouldn't be hypocritical. We should really give a shot to

192
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 4: an actress who's disabled. And he's going on and on,

193
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 4: and we're arguing, and he's going he goes, look, guys,

194
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: this is business. We have a deal with Melissa Sue Anderson.

195
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: We have to pay her play movie of the week.

196
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 4: And we're going on and on and on finally, So

197
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 4: we go finally, I said, okay, Ron, Ron does the

198
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,880

199
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 4: and we put it together and we bring it back

Speaker 4: Bettie Davis, you got your girl. Well that's the pope

204
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 4: at the time. All right, yeah, I mean it's like, really,

205
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 4: I go, thanks a lot. We're walking out. I tell Ron, well,

206
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 4: it's Melissa. We did our best. It's Melissa Swanners and

207
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: we did our freaking best. That's it. So that night

208
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 4: on Carson there's Betty Davis no on Curson Society. I'm

209
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 4: tired of playing women's parts. I want to do something

210
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 4: with action.

211
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: Hey, that's pretty good action.

212
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 4: I'm going stumpilot later. That's action, you know. So I go,

213
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 4: I go, Ron, bro, let's get this script over I

214
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 4: don't know the agent. I don't just find a regent.

215
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 4: Let's get it over there. We get the script over there.

216
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 4: Betty Davis trusts nobody in life especially buboynowns to us

217
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 4: she reads everything submitted. We didn't think it ething get

218
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 4: to her.

219
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: She said yes, Oh my gosh, wow, she.

220
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 4: Said yes, And we got Susie and we got and

221
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 4: that was the film that got raw at the features.

222
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: That's the film Alan Ladd Junior saw it. Okay, I'm

223
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 4: for night Shifts. Oh. And that all came out of

224
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 4: Happy Days, out of Gary Marshall. I just showing you

225
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 4: how things happened. So produce that and I was exec producer,

226
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 4: wrote the story, We wrote the script, blah blah blah,

227
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 4: did a few others and then I was like, as

228
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 4: I said, you know, this producing stuff's cold. I mean,

229
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 4: you're not involved, You're kind of away. You're not you know.

230
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 4: He goes, you should direct? I go, oh great, a

231
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 4: third career, thanks, you know, he said. So. Basically, I

232
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 4: had a show in development called No Greater Gift. It

233
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: was an after school special co wrote with a partner

234
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 4: and it was about it was really one based on

235
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 4: a inspired by a true story about organ downership between

236
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 4: these two kids. Anyway, No Greater Gift, and I was

237
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 4: able to beg the network to let me direct language show.

238
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 4: And that was the beginning of it, and that put

239
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 4: me behind the camera, and from there it just progressed,

240
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 4: thankfully through the years.

241
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: You're a trifecta.

242
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

243
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, that's such a beautiful progression though, because as

244
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: you ended that show on Happy Days, I would imagine

245
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: I know that we probably felt this way pigeonholed into

246
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: that stereotypical character. People didn't really want to see you

247
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: as other characters. It was a little more challenging as

248
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: an actor, but you could just kind of pivot. Yeah,

249
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: when we found out you POTSI was directing our show,

250
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: we were all freaking thinking out.

251
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

252
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: Really, I imagine every buddy who was directed by photos

253
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 3: with you.

254
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: Which never did with anyone who came on the show.

255
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

256
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: Then you ended up being like, we became friends with you,

257
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: Like you're one of the few directors on nine that

258
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 3: became like our buddy, our friend, like someone we trusted

259
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 3: and we would have like great conversations outside of directing

260
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 3: and acting.

261
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: Because you were started as an actor, like you, he

262
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: got us.

263
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 4: Oh really got us totally. And it's acting is very

264
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 4: sensitive area. I mean, we're all I mean, everyone has

265
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 4: the background of why they go into into acting anyway,

266
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 4: it's pretty complex, a lot of a lot of emotions,

267
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 4: a lot of reasons. I'm like, you know, make up

268
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 4: for loss whatever. But you know, and it's a and

269
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 4: there's just I mean, and you know, trust and love

270
00:15:55,560 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 4: and like comfort means everything, you know where and collaboration

271
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 4: means everything. And I hated directors, honestly, God, they go,

272
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 4: I'm the director. It's like a director is a storyteller.

273
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 4: It's all you are. It's like whatever your psychologist, you ever,

274
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 4: whatever you have to do to make it work. You know,

275
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: you're not You're not that. What's important is what's printed.

276
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 4: There's a lot of people involved in that, a lot

277
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 4: of talent involved in that, a lot of sensitive situations

278
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 4: in that, you know, And it's a big how do

279
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 4: you collaborate everyone and get it done and get it

280
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 4: done right? And everyone feels involved and everyone feels satisfied

281
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 4: with their part.

282
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the job.

283
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: It's such a group like village mentality like it is.

284
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: It's really and you guys.

285
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 4: Oh my god, how you could you could? You guys

286
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 4: couldn't be more popular? And how many it was it

287
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 4: ten years or eleven? How many years? Ten years? And

288
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 4: that was happy to its ten ten years the same thing.

289
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: Really rarity, Oh my gosh.

290
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 4: And here you guys still are still souper, are popular,

291
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 4: but you all give back, you're all, you're all. You know,

292
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 4: it's important to be you know, examples of you know,

293
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 4: of doing the right thing and you know, and it's

294
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 4: you know, not be a giver and not a taker.

295
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

296
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:15,640

298
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 3: like we'd be nothing without them. Yes, so we'll forever

299
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 3: be grateful. How often do people say potsy? Nowadays?

300
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 4: A lot they still say, but it's so funny early

301
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 4: on unhappy days, we're real popular and we're getting potsy

00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 4: to take this and do something bigger with it. That's

310
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 4: where it's you and that's directing and writing whatever. And

311
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 4: you earn your way, you know, you earn your way

312
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 4: and that makes sense. That was a had a run

313
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 4: had a big influence on me and Gary Marshall. But

314
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 4: it's true. And now and then it gets what were

315
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 4: you doing? They they know what you do now, they're

316
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 4: probably know you're direct they know you're right, but they

317
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 4: still love your character. You know, it's cool, it's great.

318
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 4: I mean, Ron, I was just wrong. Ron had won

319
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 4: the Oscar and they're calling him Richie. It's like, you go,

320
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 4: this's great. Whatever makes forever.

321
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: It's forever.

322
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 4: The power of what you guys do. Seriously, Henry Winkler

323
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 4: and I don't his popularity at the time, it was

324
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 4: the Beatles times three. I mean, I don't know. I

325
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 4: mean it was nuts and back then there were three networks.

326
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 4: That was it. We had an average of sixty so

327
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 4: million people watching sixty point two wet rating. If we

328
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 4: get that, we figot into the fifties. Are disappointed? Okay? Three? Not? Well? Yeah,

329
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 4: we talk about popularity, man, and you talk about plus

330
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 4: they're syndicating during the day, and I mean, and Henry

331
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 4: was like, just you could you could not be more popular?

332
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 4: In life anyway, he always made a point to visit

333
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 4: children's hospitals when in the town. He would go in,

334
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 4: not as even as the character. He would just you know,

335
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 4: but he would play the character. And he went in

336
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 4: to this one room and I guess they were they

337
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 4: were there was an autistic kid, and there's an old

338
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 4: guess who's coming to visit you? And nothing. He's never

339
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 4: never expressed nothing, no express nothing since birth. Nothing. Henry

340
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 4: comes in, Henry comes into this room. Oh hey, this

341
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 4: is I mean, he goes Henry goes hey, Ka goes hey.

342
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 4: It's the first time, all of a sudden he was

343
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 4: Everyone's breaking down, crying, the mother, nonverbal and anything anything,

344
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 4: And it was the first time there was any sense

345
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 4: there was a connection. That's that's the power of the

346
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 4: media and it's the power of character. Yeah.

347
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: So so we learned from you. I mean we learned

348
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 2: I for one, learned from you like just having you,

349
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 2: like the legendary you directing us being so like personable

350

351
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 2: really cool, normal like energy about you. That was inspiring

352
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: for me and like an example for how we should

353
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 2: be as we get older. In this business like, you

354
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 2: don't have to be like some affected person star you

355
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: know all the things that people assume. You could be

356
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: a real person and just light up so many people's

357
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 2: worlds because of who they know you from and what

358
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 2: they know you from.

359
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it's funny when they see someone like you,

360
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 4: just the wall goes down and they go they're vulnerable

361
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 4: and and you you put a little joy in there.

362
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 4: It's it's it's it's very effective. Gary did. He gave

363
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 4: us another great lesson and he said, you guys, you

364
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 4: guys are in it, and in it means yeah, you

365
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 4: got the fire and you want to be successful. You

366
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 4: want to be this, you want to be known. You

367
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 4: got Yeah, never be of it. It's not who you are.

368
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 4: If you're of it, you're hiding behind it. You're running

369
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 4: and that could be. It could be from hiding behind kids,

370
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 4: hiding behind this, hiding behind drugs, hiding behind a VP. Whatever.

371
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 4: Never you're in it, never ever be of it. You

372
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 4: will never ever be happy as a human being. You know,

373
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 4: you're hiding from yourself. Wow, that was it was That

424
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,800

426
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 4: Exactly?

427
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,280

429
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 4: I don't I don't know if they asked anything. No one

430
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 4: else took it. Put it that way.

431
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: What about your letterman jackets?

432
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 4: I got that, okay, I got the jacket, sweater and

433
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 4: I and now it's in a there's this guy that

434
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 4: has the most Happy Days memorabilia according to the Guinness

435
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 4: Work of Records. He has a little Happy in his

436
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 4: museum in Italy. Oh, it's in that museum. Yeah, that's it.

437
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 4: I mean we kept I kept so, I mean so little, right, Yeah,

438
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 4: I mean.

439
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 2: I didn't think it through.

440
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 3: We weren't forward thinkers, and so we did the reboot.

441
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: Iron's like remember where he went wrong before?

442
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: And so I think ten like we took the menus

443
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 3: from like the restaurant we had created on beach. Well

444
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 3: that show was one season, so it's like by the

445
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 3: time we figured it out, it was too late.

446
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 4: Yeah oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Well back then, memorabilia wasn't

447
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 4: that big a deal. It just wasn't that. Yeah, it wasn't,

448
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 4: you know, there wasn't.

449
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't true.

450
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 4: It really wasn't. Otherwise it's so funny. I directed a

451
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 4: lot of Star treks, right. It's it's like it's like

452
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 4: everything's locked up there. I mean it's like it's.

453
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: Like they knew, Oh.

454
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 4: Are you kidding, It's like they had it down with science.

455
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 4: You got nothing, zippo. It was, I mean, every little

456
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 4: prop was locked up.

457
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if this.

458
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 2: Is an appropriate question, but I'm only asking because I

459
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 2: think we might be in a similar situation. What happened

460
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 2: with Happy Days and syndication and like residuals for you, oh,

461
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: for your cast.

462
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 4: Here's it's so interesting you brought that up because you

463
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 4: know we're all sag after members, right, love, I don't

464
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 4: know how we had I don't know how we had

465
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 4: like almost three hundred episodes whatever, a lot of episodes, right,

466
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 4: And even even if it plays once a day somewhere,

467
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 4: it's like four dollars fight dollars, right, But there's no

468
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 4: forensic accounting going on here. It is like, I'm really

469
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 4: upset with the screen actors go in terms of that.

470
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense to me because even because today,

471
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 4: even today, and I'm sure nine oh two one oh,

472
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 4: we're like on five eight ten platforms at CBS, you're

473
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 4: on Pluto you're on.

474
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 2: Our show has a channel that's just nine O two

475
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: and oh all day.

476
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 4: There you go, yeah, and you get and you go,

477
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 4: you go ninety two dollars and three cents. It's great,

478
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 4: you know, I mean it's it's it's like, it doesn't

479
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 4: make sense.

480
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 3: Ninety two dollars that's.

481
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: A big one.

482
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 2: We get like three cents?

483
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, are told? Never like you have to cash it,

484
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: don't throw it away?

485
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: Bad luck. You're like, are right?

486
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 4: I love it when it's four d eight cents.

487
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: It's like kid because you know, like Friends, the cast

488
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: of Friends like something changed.

489
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 4: Oh no, the reason is smart insiduals. They get ownership

490
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 4: of the show. That's a difference. They own part of

491
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 4: the syndication cell. How could we have the reason? He's

492
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 4: so very he owns the show. So when when when

493
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,959
Speaker 4: a station buys it for so much money, they get

494
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 4: a percentage of the sale. It's beyond guilt. That's a

495
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 4: separate deal. That's why. That's why they get very rich.

496
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 2: But they didn't offer that to us back then.

497
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:35,959
Speaker 1: No, no nobody.

498
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: I wish we had taken a course or Gary Marshall

499
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 3: had taught us like how to like ownership and just

500
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 3: everything that goes along with it. So as we would

501
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 3: get you know, restructure our deals, we would know like, hey,

502
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 3: this is what I'm interested in. I want this, I

503
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 3: want that, And like we just knew nothing. I mean,

504
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 3: we were happy being a part of something that matter.

505
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 4: But you don't you don't think that we're not you know,

506
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 4: we didn't go to business school, you know, and we

507
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 4: learned business as you go. Yeah, but actually so the

508
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 4: next one you do them. You know, it's an education,

509
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 4: that's way I see it. It's it's like there's I

510
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 4: look I look through this going oh my god, but

511
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 4: look at the but look at the positive.

512
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we wouldn't change anything.

513
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 4: We're talking. Yeah, we're still That means a.

514
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 2: Lot, it really does.

515
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 3: We wouldn't change anything except we would have gotten some

516
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 3: money from like the hair dryers, the perfume, all of

517
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 3: the merch with our faces.

518
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah, well god, yess who knew?

519
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: Who knows what was happening on those you know.

520
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 4: But that's true, and that's that's the other side of licensing.

521
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 2: Yes, well we're not dyeah, we're not crying about it.

522
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 2: But but it's just as interesting how the business changed

523
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,120

627
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 4: about it, it's such a When we did the and

628
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 4: we did a few more readings after that, it was

629
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,360
