Henry Winkler, best known as “The Fonz” from Happy Days, was honored at the Television Academy’s 27th Hall of Fame Ceremony on August 17 at the JW Marriott LA Live in Los Angeles. The evening recognized his decades of impact on television and entertainment.

Other honorees included Viola Davis, Ryan Murphy, Conan O’Brien, Mike Post, and the late Don Mischer.
Winkler called the night “overwhelming” and shared his gratitude online. His induction not only celebrates a legendary career but also a life grounded in love, humility, and collaboration.
