Scott Baio Did Not Agree With Recent ‘Happy Days’ Fundraiser

Scott Baio disagreed with Happy Days virtual reunion fundraiser

Scott Baio is perhaps best known for his role as Chachi in Happy Days and the spin-off show Joanie Loves Chachi. Recently, the cast of Happy Days came together for a political fundraiser and Scott was not involved and has since said he doe not agree with what the rest of the cast did.

Scott said, “Entertainment shouldn’t be political, especially when it comes to legacy shows like ‘Happy Days’ that have such a powerful place in the hearts of so many Americans. Invoking the show’s name to support a candidate for office was just wrong, in my opinion. That doesn’t change how much I love Donny, Henry [Winkler] and the rest of the crew from ‘Happy Days.’ I just wish they had thought this all the way through.”

Don Most previously shared his opinion on Scott not appearing in the reunion. He said, “I knew that he would not be a part of this because of the differences in political views. So it was not a question of whether he would be a part of it or not. That was a given. But you know, Scott and I, we played golf together. It’s been a while now, about a couple of years, but we’ve stayed in touch somewhat. But in the last year, I haven’t seen him.”
