“Happy Days” stars Ron Howard and Henry Winkler reunited on the Emmy Awards’ stage on Sunday night.

Winkler made a joke during the pair’s introduction while honoring the iconic show’s 50th anniversary. On the stage, which was a recreated scene of Arnold’s Drive-In, Winkler and Howard noted that they were not welcomed by the “Happy Days” theme song.
