One of Donald Trump‘s biggest celebrity supporters is Scott Baio––of Happy Days and Charles in Charge––and he said on Fox News last night that he’s been invited to speak at the Republican National Convention this week.

Baio told Jeanine Pirro that he’s expected to be speaking on Monday, and he tweeted this out after:

You heard it 1st on @JudgeJeanine that @realDonaldTrump personally asked me to go to the #RNC2016 and speak! @DonaldJTrumpJr @EricTrump

(…)

Meanwhile, Baio’s announcement has brought some attention to this Hillary Clinton meme he recently shared on Twitter:

Yes, kids - the GOP is convention is featuring Chachi in 2016.

Remember when the rightwing used to mock folks like Clooney and Garofalo for opposing Dumbya's Iraq war and said actors had no qualifications to speak on politics? Turns out that they simply didn't have the foreign policy background of the former star of Charles in Charge.

[pepperbear]

1. Donnie loves Chachi.

[mountain grammy]

2. Well, that ought to draw a crowd..

not!

[bdwker]

3. Bwahaha

I'll be sure to hang on his every word.

[DCBob]

4. Here's a nice photo..

[chillfactor]

5. is he going to speak to an empty chair?

what can he possibly say that doesn't sound like it came from a script.

[hedda_foil]

20. He's going to PLAY the empty chair.

[LakeArenal]

31. It won't be much of a stretch

He's already an empty suit.

[Sunlei]

6. less then 48 hours to speak, bottom of the list of thousands of No thank-yous.

even Republican best-friend Ted Nugent was shunned.

[lastlib]

54. WHAT??!? No Shittypants??!?

OUTrageous!!

*snort! again*

[stonecutter357]

7. lul.

[C_U_L8R]

8. That's when everyone under 50 goes

who?

[getagrip_already]

15. you mean all 6 of them?

n/t

[qnr]

32. I'm over 50, and I still say that. I've heard

the name, but I've never actually seen him in anything.

[Bluenorthwest]

9. Fitting, he was present when Fonzie first jumped the shark, now he'll be there when the

Republican Party jumps the shark.

[yurbud]

28. Damn! you beat me to it. Now they just need Ted McGinley and a new cute little kid

[qnr]

33. I've never seen that. I knew, of course, where the reference came

from, but I have never had occasion to actually watch it.

[Evergreen Emerald]

10. Jeanine Pirro will also be speaking

I heard it this morning...I hope she remembers page 10!

[Liberalagogo]

11. That whiny little puss

was always complaining to Dennis Miller about how Hollywood cons could never get work because of all the liberals. Of course neglecting to mention his stint on "Arrested Development".

[Bob Loblaw]

35. Arrested Development

was a great show and Scott Baio's character Bob Loblaw was the inspiration for my DU handle, but he's such a dick I may have to reconsider.

[Liberalagogo]

50. I have the same issue

I use it for my Disqus handle mainly because I love the joke. But then I found out about Baio's asshattedness.
I hated to find out that Kelsey Grammar and Craig T. Nelson are wingnuts too. Grammar, not so much, but he's still an unapologetic R.

[calimary]

12. Nothing like an all-star cast...

[Gene Debs]

13. What, was Alan Thicke unavailable?

[sweetloukillbot]

18. I believe Thicke is liberal

At least he was outspoken against Kirk Cameron's homophobic remarks.

[SwankyXomb]

21. He's also Canadian

Can't be sending mixed messages with the "Amurrikkka Uber Alles"

[getagrip_already]

14. he better ask for his speaking fee up front...

this campaign isn';t such a good credit risk.

[CherokeeDem]

16. All the B-list Celebrities....

who could have been on the Apprentice are showing up. Too funny!

I respectfully exclude George Takei from this list. He had too much class for this show...

[Javaman]

24. B-List? they wish they were B-list again. nt

[JI7]

43. this is D list at most.

[Crash2Parties]

45. George Takei was a Bernie supporter who has since endorsed Clinton

[MariaThinks]

17. trump is so desparate.

[TonyPDX]

19. Dennis Miller and Ted Nugent are busy? n/t

[NWCorona]

22. Has this guy done anything since Zapped lol?

[louis-t]

23. I suppose he'll start his historic speech with his sig line:

"Wa wa wa".

[left-of-center2012]

25. I guess Homer Simpson couldn't make it n/t

[Kablooie]

26. Wow. Bugsy Malone himself!

[Squinch]

27. That is friggin' awesome! This is going to be such an embarassment to them!

[Legends303]

29. I'm sorry but who is this guy?

[Eric J in MN]

55. Scott Baio was a star of the sitcoms 'Happy Days' and 'Charles in Charge.'

I like him as an actor, but not as a political analyst.

[Chasstev365]

30. What time do Lenny and Squiggy go on?

[hermetic]

34. The whole speakers' list...

is a veritable "Who's That."

(Heard on NPR yesterday)

[SunSeeker]

37. LOL

[LW1977]

36. Liked him as Fez....

Oh wait, wrong show.

[dawnie51]

38. has beens and wanna bees....

is this the ticket to making yourself relevant again? Jump into the clown car and ride around the circus tent for bit?

[TexasBushwhacker]

41. Don't forget the Never Wases n/t

[videohead5]

39. Sit On It!

Chachi.

[milestogo]

40. Why don't they bring back Clint Eastwood?

We need some laughs.

[czarjak]

42. Psssssssssst....

Scotty, not a compliment.

[leftyladyfrommo]

44. Wow. That's pretty low.

Next it will be Trump's hair stylist.

[Jopin Klobe]

46. Yaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwnnnnnnn ...

[Nye Bevan]

47. That moment when you scan quickly down the post expecting to see an "Onion" link...

but no. I guess Charles in Charge is really on.

[olddad56]

48. They gotta be paying him, and he has to really need the money.

[murielm99]

49. My kids used to watch Charles in Charge

when they were little. I thought it was okay for young kids. I did not know he was such a dick IRL.

[Metric System]

51. I used to watch Charles in Charge as an 80s kid. I wish I could have those hours back.

[The Second Stone]

52. Keynote speaker undoubtedly

This is going to get weird. Hunter would be unhappy not to have seen this travesty.

[lastlib]

53. Boy, they're bringing out the heavyweights!

( ) *snort!!*

[Nye Bevan]

56. Who needs Deniro or Streep when you can get Baio? (nt)

[Dawson Leery]

57. David Duke wasn't available so they will settle for Baio.

[truthisfreedom]

58. So Luverne and Shirley were booked?

I guess with the heavy touring schedule they probably couldn't fit the Donald in on short notice.

[lunamagica]

59. Scott Baio?

[matt819]

60. Omg. It's all over.

Scott baio will speak. Hillary should just pack it in now.

Hey Don. The 1980s called. It wants its has beens back.

[ck4829]

61. Ah, the founder of Baioism, "Say Radical Islam, SAY IT, lest you be a secret Radical Muslim"
