But despite Fonzie’s enormous popularity, Winkler recently revealed that behind the scenes, there were no egos on set—and no true "star” of the show.
When Williams was asked if he was ever jealous of Winkler’s fame, he replied that he embraced the popularity of the Fonz.
Winkler explained that everyone was an equal behind the scenes.
Williams also noted that show creator and producer Garry Marshall encouraged an ensemble mentality in all areas of production.

As the show grew, writers penned episodes around side characters such as Potsie and Ralph. But it was Winkler’s Fonzie character who became a focal character during the show’s third season when it switched to a multi-camera setup in front of a live studio audience.
Howard wasn’t having it.
“I never, ever challenged what they were doing creatively. It made perfect sense that you’d build this Fonzie character and maximize that,” Howard admitted. “But the optics of now being in a show called Fonzie’s Happy Days, my ego wouldn’t allow for that. I wasn’t bluffing. I would’ve left. … But thank God for great bosses. Garry Marshall said, ‘If you’re not cool with it …'”
While Howard left the show after seven seasons to focus on movie directing, Winkler and Williams stayed on for all 11 seasons of Happy Days.
