The Truth About Chachi


We recently heard that Scott Baio was in talks to star in a new sitcom for HBO, which got us thinking that even though he played a character on TV named Chachi, when he walks down the street, most people aren’t likely thinking, hey there goes Scott Baio. It’s probably more like, “Yo Chachi!” This denial of real life existence is the same with the way we refuse to acknowledge that the singer of Hootie and the Blowfish is actually named Darius. Or that Urkel’s real name is Jaleel. We somehow feel justified to forever torture these celebs since we’ve been forever forced to refer to them as Tootie or Vanilla Ice or Marky Mark. So without further ado, we present a brief overview of the beloved Chachi:

  • Charles “Chachi” Arcola was introduced during the 1977 season of the hit sitcom “Happy Days”
  • The love of his life was Joanie, Richie Cunningham’s kid sister, whom he affectionately dubbed “blue eyes”
  • Joanie and Chachi were married in the final episode of “Happy Days,” and spun off into a show of their own, “Joanie Loves Chachi”
  • They sang their own theme song, which may explain why the show lasted only 17 episodes
  • There have been bands named after Chachi
  • Popular emo acts have titled songs for Chachi
  • You can dress like Chachi for Halloween if you want to (and frankly, why wouldn’t you?)
  • Chachi means penis in Korean
  • If you want to write to Chachi (and frankly, why wouldn’t you?), you can send mail to: Chachi, 4333 Forman Ave., Toluca Lake, CA 91602
