It’s Always a Good Day on the Set of Happy Days

John Lennon Paid the Cast a Visit

Urban legend says that John Lennon took his 10-year-old son Julian to meet the cast of Happy Days because they were huge fans of the show. It has recently come out that this wasn’t exactly the case. Lennon, his son, and his former girlfriend, May Pang, visited the set while Happy Days was filming their fourth episode, meaning that only one or two episodes had aired at the time.

As it turns out, the trio was simply on a tour of Paramount Pictures and had just finished sitting in on a full taping of The Odd Couple when they met the cast of Happy Days. Lennon loved ’50s nostalgia and was apparently thrilled with the idea behind the show, according to Pang.
