Winkler got considered again in 1979 for Outstanding Informational Program for his work on Who Are the DeBolts?
[And Where Did They Get 19 Kids?], but would miss the mark yet again just ahead of a long gap between nominations.
Winkler would get nominated for his work on Happy Days again in the next two years, but would ultimately miss out on the award.
Winkler’s first Emmy nomination came in 1976, where he received the nod for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his jukebox-smacking portrayal of Arthur Fonzarelli.
