Whatever Happened To...

Whatever happened to The Fonz?

In the early seasons of ABC-TV’s Happy Days, Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli isn’t supposed to be the point. He’s a side character: a leather-jacketed, soft-spoken greaser who drifts through Arnold’s Drive-In like a local weather system—cool, unpredictable, and, at first, slightly dangerous. But audiences didn’t treat him like seasoning. They treated him like the meal.

The show, built to spotlight Richie Cunningham’s clean-cut coming-of-age, slowly rotated on its axis until it orbited the Fonz. That was actor Henry Winkler’s first big step to fame: a supporting player who became pop culture’s shorthand for confidence, charisma, and a kind of American myth of cool. Here’s his appearance in the first episode.

By the mid-to-late 1970s, the transformation was complete: Happy Days was a hit, Fonzie was its rocket fuel, and the ratings peaked accordingly. Then came the moment that would outlive the series itself: Sept. 20, 1977, when Fonzie—wearing swim trunks and, yes, his leather jacket—waterskied and jumped over a shark.

The scene didn’t instantly sink the show, but it crystallized a feeling: the sense that a once-effortless phenomenon was now reaching for spectacle. Years later, fans would coin a phrase from it—“jump the shark”—to describe any story that’s run past its best.

For Winkler, escaping Fonzie’s shadow took longer than the ride to Hollywood. He didn’t disappear; he diversified—producing, directing, popping up in comedies, and eventually landing a career-defining late peak as Gene Cousineau on HBO’s Barry, which won him an Emmy in 2018.

Today, he’s still working—hosting Hazardous History and lining up new film roles—proof that one iconic character can be a trap… or a launchpad, if you keep moving.
