The Happy Days star, 79, was honored at the Television Academy’s 27th Annual Hall of Fame Ceremony on August 17. Winkler was inducted by longtime friend Bob Daly, making the night especially meaningful. “Bob, I would not be here… if it were not for you,” he said warmly.

The ceremony also honored Viola Davis, Ryan Murphy, Conan O’Brien, Mike Post, and the late Don Mischer. But for Winkler, the evening was deeply personal. He arrived with his wife of nearly 50 years, Stacey Weitzman, and their children: Max, Jed with his wife Amanda, and Zoe with her husband Rob.

Proud of the moment, Winkler later shared a family photo, writing: “An overwhelming night !!! Thank you Television Academy.” The event showed not only his impact on television but also the strength of his family bond.

Henry Winkler’s journey from Happy Days to the Hall of Fame proves success is sweeter when shared with loved ones.
