Happy Days creator Garry Marshall – in order to appease his son – devises a dream episode in which Richie (Ron Howard) and Fonzie (Henry Winkler) meet an alien from outer space.

After a long audition process... they finally settle on their Orkan... a relative unknown named Robin Williams.

This video is an oral history of the development of that episode compiled from numerous audio sources from the actors and crew themselves.
