Henry Winkler has a soft-spoken voice in his everyday life. However, The Fonz’s voice is much more forceful. So, who was the inspiration behind his character’s accent?
Yesterday, when the beloved actor was on The Jennifer Hudson Show, he revealed the man behind his infamous voice. And it is someone we all know.
Winkler said that Happy Days was looking for a tall Italian man to play the role, but instead, “they got a short Jew.”
Right before the audition, the short Jew had worked with the Italian Stallion Sylvester Stallone on The Lords of Flatbush. So Winkler went in thinking, “What would Sly do?” when he introduced himself. And he kept that going when he landed the part that changed his life forever.
And now that you know that, all you will hear is Stallone when you see Arthur Fonzarelli talk. At least, I know that is what I will be doing!
Jennifer Hudson is an EGOT winner with a daytime talk show. However, she was recently seen working at a Krispy Kreme. So, has the singer hit hard times?
Nope. She was just shooting a segment for the Jennifer Hudson Show, and we got to see the inner workings of the donut shop.
And since it is my Krispy Kreme in Burbank, I feel the need to go there and have one of their yummy treats ASAP. See you later!
Blake Shelton spent 23 seasons on The Voice, so what did he ask the producers that he could take home with him to remember his time on the singing competition?
That is not all he told Hudson on her daytime talk show today. He also revealed that he was planning on leaving the show earlier, but then came the pandemic. And he didn’t want to leave the series empty seated. So he stayed on because that is what a good Country boy does.
Jennifer Hudson might be an EGOT winner, but that doesn’t mean she could do something, us, people without an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony can do. That thing is swimming.
However, now she is like us. That is because the Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte taught her to swim. In one lesson, he got her swimming from one end of the pool to the other. And now, she can add swimmer to her titles!
Hopefully, by the summer, she will be going to the beach with her son and swimming in the ocean! Because, as we know, that is not as easy as being in a pool.
And we learned a very important lesson here. Just because you are 42 doesn’t mean you are too old to learn new things. Even things that kids know how to do.
Last week, Drew Barrymore, The Talk, and Jennifer Hudson went back into production and planned on premiering the new season of their daytime talk shows tomorrow. And the striking workers of the Writers Guild of America, along with actors, were not happy with their decisions.
Therefore, they started picketing their shows because even though they are cleared by the Screen Actors Guild to do their talk shows, they are not from the WGA because they have writers from the union who work there.
So, on Friday, Barrymore released a tearful apology video, and she got attacked again. So, today, she made an announcement. “I have listened to everyone, and I am making the decision to pause the show’s premiere until the strike is over,” she wrote. “I have no words to express my deepest apologies to anyone I have hurt and, of course, to our incredible team who works on the show and has made it what it is today. We really tried to find our way forward. And I truly hope for a resolution for the entire industry very soon.”
Shortly after her announcement, The Talk and Jennifer Hudson followed suit.
I hope that the AMPTP finally negotiates a fair contract ASAP because this is really hurting people. They have billions of dollars, and most of the people who work in show business have just hundreds left in their bank accounts. It is really bad here. People who aren’t even in the industry are struggling because they depend on the studios and their employees to keep their businesses alive.
It is disgusting how the AMPTP has handled this whole situation. Wait until they find out that you can’t take it with you in hell.
