Penny Marshall
Garry Marshall, creator and then part-time writer for "Happy Days", cast Marshall and Cindy Williams to guest on an episode of the show. The installment, titled "A Date with Fonzie", aired on November 11, 1975 and introduced the characters Laverne DeFazio and Shirley Feeney (played by Marshall and Williams, respectively). In that episode, Laverne and Shirley were a pair of wisecracking brewery workers who were dates for Fonzie (Henry Winkler) and Richie (Ron Howard). The pair were such a hit with the studio audience that Garry Marshall decided to co-create and star them in a successful spinoff, "Laverne & Shirley" (1976–1983). The characters of Laverne and Shirley appeared in five more episodes of "Happy Days". In 1982 at the beginning of "Laverne & Shirley"s eighth season, Williams left the show due to her pregnancy. Marshall continued with the show, but it was canceled after the season's final episode aired in May 1983.
Happy Now? (No Doubt song)
"Happy Now?" was written by No Doubt band members Gwen Stefani, Tom Dumont, and Tony Kanal. It was produced by American singer-songwriter Matthew Wilder, whose presence as an outsider upset former member and Gwen's brother, Eric Stefani, so he departed the group due to creative differences in early 1995. Because of Eric's departure, the remaining band members were tasked with writing their own lyrics, something that had been somewhat foreign to them. However, Gwen saw this opportunity as a creative outlet to express her feelings towards breaking up with Kanal; she began writing intense breakup songs, such as "Sunday Morning" and "Happy Now?".
