Two-time Daytime Emmy nominee Scott Baio blasted Ron Howard’s Happy Days reunion to benefit the Democratic party of Wisconsin scheduled for next Sunday as ‘shameful’ in a Twitter tirade on Monday night.
The 66-year-old Oscar-winning filmmaker is ‘thrilled’ to revisit his role as Richie Cunningham alongside castmates Henry Winkler, Don Most, Anson Williams, Marion Ross, and writer Lowell Ganz.
Noticeably missing from the list was the Brooklyn-born 60-year-old, who originated the role of The Fonz’s (Winkler) younger cousin Charles ‘Chachi’ Arcola back in 1977.

Scott’s portrayal of the sixties rocker character on the ABC sitcom was such a hit, he got his very own spin-off, Joanie Loves Chachi, which flopped after only 17 episodes spanning 1982–1983.
Baio – who boasts 473K followers – tweeted: ‘What a shame to use a classic show like Happy Days about Americana to promote an anti-American socialist. #Shameful.’
The outspoken Republican got even more heated after discovering that two-time Emmy nominee John Stamos asked Howard if he could ‘play Chachi.’
