Scott Baio won’t ‘encourage and foment rioting’ by taking part in ‘Happy Days’ reunion at Democratic fundraiser
Somehow, the show will go on.
Several members of the cast of “Happy Days,” the long-running sitcom, are reuniting for a virtual fundraiser for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and Scott Baio, a former star and Trump supporter, will not be joining them.
The fundraiser is scheduled for Sunday and is so far set to include Ron Howard, Henry Winkler, Don Most, Anson Williams and Marion Ross and proceeds from the reunion will benefit the Wisconsin Democratic Party (“Happy Days” was set in Milwaukee).
But Chachi won’t be stopping by.
“To take a show like ‘Happy Days’ that represented traditional American values, good morals, a slice of Americana and to use that show and those ideals to promote two people in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris that condone, encourage and foment rioting and looting is a little bizarre to me,” Baio told Fox Business on Wednesday.
Prior to his TV appearance, Baio had attempted to dunk on actor John Stamos, who had volunteered to play Chachi, by bringing up former “Full House” star Lori Loughlin’s legal troubles. Loughlin was sentenced to prison for her role in the college admissions bribery scandal.

Baio continued his attacks on Stamos, who so far has not been named a part of the fundraiser, during his appearance on Fox Business.
“I’m not on board, obviously, because I don’t believe in socialism and Marxists,” Baio said. “And it’s good to know that Stamos is part of the Hollywood elite Marxist crowd.”
Undeterred by Baio’s blistering attacks, the fundraiser is set for Sunday at 7 p.m. ET.
