Garry Marshall told The Fonz off for disrespecting him

Late TV mogul Garry Marshall once reprimanded his Happy Days star Henry Winkler for interrupting him as he introduced the guest cast of the cult show at the end of a live taping.
Winkler, who played The Fonz on the sitcom, was in a rush to get to a personal appearance at a shopping mall in Arkansas and asked the show creator to hurry things along – and it was the only time TV’s Mr. Nice Guy lost his cool with the actor.
“I said, ‘Garry, you have to hurry up; I have to fly to Arkansas’,” Henry told Access Hollywood Live. “He went, ‘OK’. He put down the microphone when he was done, he came up to me and he said, ‘Come here. Don’t ever interrupt me again when I’m introducing the guest cast; they have every right to be introduced like you do’.
“I said, ‘Garry, I will never say another word…’ He hated disrespect and bad behaviour.”
Marshall died in July (16), aged 81.
