Summary

In honor of our good friend Henry Winkler's new book, "Being Henry: The Fonz . . . And Beyond" we're re-airing his appearance on Naked Lunch to help celebrate! The book can be found here!

It's a very happy day as "Naked Lunch" warmly welcomes a beloved Hollywood icon, an Emmy-winning legend, a surprisingly viral fisherman, and a recently anointed DILF -- none other than "The Fonz" himself. . . Henry Winkler. Henry and Phil's friendship goes way back, and over a tasty spread from Courage Bagels, the "Naked Lunch" gang has a blast discussing Henry's amazing experiences on "Happy Days" with Ron Howard and Garry Marshall, his life-changing times working with Bill Hader on "Barry," how he met his wife Stacey, as well as some surprisingly and truly Fab stories about Lennon & McCartney and, yes, trout fishing too.
