Really good to see you, by the way.
I'm so happy to be back.
We are friends, and I've seen you since.
But I don't--
I mean, you've been on the show.
Well, this is our 16th season.
Right.
And you were on season one.
Yes, I was.
And then you never came back.
Never invited back.
But hey-- I just--
No.
It's just nice to be--
I just want to say Ace and India and Lulu, August and Jules.
Am I supposed to--
Those are my grandchildren.
Oh.
And last night was our anniversary.
And we had an Italian dinner.
And at the-- they all asked me to say their names on TV.
Oh, well.
[APPLAUSE]
Hi, kids.
Those are your grandchildren?
Yes.
Have they seen Happy Days, those grandchildren of yours?
I sat with my grandson.
My-- he's seven.
And he was four, and we were watching.
His name is Ace.
And we were watching television.
And he looked at me.
We watch television, and he looked at me.
And he said, Papa, your hair is different.
That's all he noticed?
That's amazing.
Just the hair?
Yeah, I used to dye it.
And then--
Yeah, yeah, sure, it was gray all along.
But you are recognized.
I mean, first of all your career is incredible.
At what-- you know, you started with, you know, Happy Days.
Hope
Oh, I--
[LAUGHTER]
I have seen so many people who have been frightened and--
out of the box.
Right.
I wanted to see what it was like.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
Someday when you come back.
That's why, we're punishing you by not doing it.
But had you been back earlier, you would see what it's like.
Yeah, I wanted to so badly.
Yeah, well, all right.
I've called so many times.
Oh, well, you know I would have you on, because I love you.
And I know you from many, many places.
John Ritter, rest his soul and I were making a movie
in the '90s in Vancouver.
And we saw you walking down the street,
and you were doing your traveling stand-up show.
Uh-huh, traveling stand up.
Yeah, well-- touring.
Touring.
I had a wagon.
Yeah.
And we bought housewares.
Yeah.
It was wonderful.
But you invited us to the show, and we went to see you.
Oh, yeah, I don't remember that.
[LAUGHTER]
I really don't.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
I'm so sorry.
I just remember it because I see you,
and when you were on Arrested Development.
And so we would see other--
Yes, well now I had the pleasure of acting
with your beautiful wife.
Yes.
My beautiful wife.
And we were in the makeup room together.
And she came in and she said, last night, I met somebody.
My heart exploded.
I can't tell you who it is.
But I am so excited.
I was there at the moment when you met.
And now--
Ah, wow, that's so sweet.
[APPLAUSE]
And it's true.
Yeah.
And now 16 years later, it's still working.
And you really do--
I have to-- there's some pictures I saw.
You love people.
I mean, you really do.
I do.
You really do.
And you'd think that you'd be jaded, because you've
met so many celebrities.
But when you see a celebrity, you
take pictures with every celebrity you meet pretty much.
Yes.
So, who have you not met that you--
Kid Cudi.
Yeah.
I was on the plane, I was on the plane coming back from France.
Uh-huh.
I was just doing a Wes Anderson movie,
right after we finished filming Barry.
And he was sitting behind me.
He said, it's the dude.
I went, oh, my goodness.
He said, I'm Scott.
And I said, oh, no, you're not.
Wow.
How do you know Kid Cudi.
My children.
My children keep me current.
Well, that's what children do.
That's fantastic.
So Barry is-- it's season 2.
And you got picked up for a third season already.
We did.
Congratulations.
Oh, my goodness.
[CROWD CHEERING]
So, and you won an Emmy for it.
I won an Emmy.
Bill won on the same night.
I know.
Really cool.
Amazing.
And you shoot on the same stage as Happy Days.
How weird is that?
The last sentence of the last scene of the season.
It is very emotional and fraught.
And I looked around, because I hadn't really--
I was thinking about being in the scene.
And I-- we did Happy Days right here for 10 years.
And Bill said, could you stay in the moment?
I went, I'll talk about it later.
That's crazy.
It was amazing.
Yeah, that you just realized that then, too.
Oh, my god.
Yeah.
So tell everybody if they hadn't seen Barry what it is about.
Barry is about Bill Hader wanting--
he's a hit man.
He was a Marine.
He came back.
He had nothing.
He lived in Cleveland.
His apartment blew up because there was a gas leak.
He came to California, and he kills people.
And he-- one of the people that he was chasing
walked through a door.
It was an acting class.
He said, that's what I want to do.
And I play his acting teacher.
Right.
It's--
How did I do?
Great.
And it was in a nutshell.
That clear?
It was really clear.
It was really good.
Anyway, you look fantastic.
Thank you.
Now you really-- are you in good health?
And you look--
I'm in good health.
Yeah.
At the moment.
Ahhh.
Oh.
[APPLAUSE]
You wanted-- you're welcome.
You wanted that.
I feel like I am part of the family.
Now, you are.
Yes.
I am so excited that just happened.
Yes.
All right, Barry airs Sundays at 10:00 on HBO.
We'll be right back.
