Emmys 2018: Henry Winkler celebrates his first win with an acceptance speech he wrote "43 years ago"
The Emmys never cease to surprise. This year, at the 70th Emmys Henry Winkler has finally received probably his most awaited award. The actor, best known for his iconic role as The Fonz on 'Happy Days', was awarded the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as Gene Cousineau, Barry Berkman’s (Bill Hader) acting coach, on the HBO comedy 'Barry'.
While accepting the due honor, Winkler ensured that he let his fans know how much the Emmys meant to him. “Oh my God, oh my God,” the HBO actor exclaimed as he took to the stage, only to leave the audience in splits as he insisted how he wrote his speech "43 years ago". In his acceptance speech, he said: "I only have 37 seconds. I wrote this 43 years ago. Can I just say Skip Brittenham said to me a long time ago, if you stay at the table long enough, the chips come to you and tonight I got to clear the table."
