Commemorating The 8o’s: Scott Baio
July 8th, 2008 by NextRound
Too many brilliant people from the 80’s have been forgotten. We’re here to commemorate some of the rare genius that comprised the next to last decade of the 20th century.
Today we honor everyone’s favorite goodhearted 80’s womanizer: Scott Baio.
How You Remember Him: As Charles on Charles in Charge. As the guy who banged Pamela Anderson and Heather Locklear.
How You Should Also Remember Him: As the Grand Dragon of Awesomeness. As the dude who was politely banned from the Playboy Mansion for bedding too many of the chicks Hef liked. As Buddy Lembeck’s best friend. As the guy whose conquests range from Denise Richards to Liza Minnelli (and he’s more the bad ass for it). As Chachi. As the co-star who stole Nicole Eggert’s innocence, eventually leading to her making Blown Away.
Reasons Why You Probably Thought Scott Was Dead: 1) You figured an STD had caught up to him by now. 2) You heard he starred in a few episodes of The Nanny and assumed he offed himself not long after. 3) You were under the impression that life is fair and a dude with this impressive of a resume couldn’t live past 40.
Coolest Thing You Don’t Know About Him: During his 2007 Howard Stern interview he claimed he’s banged a ton of mediocre chicks because it’s his way of giving back.
Not Quite as Cool Thing You Don’t Know About Him: He took over for Henry Winkler as the Bluth family lawyer for the third season of Arrested Development. Kind of money casting since he played the Fonz’s cousin on Happy Days. Also money: the name Bob Loblaw.
Sort of Work He’s Been Relegated to in the 21st Century: A reality show that isn’t as popular as Brett Michael’s reality show (less slores). Self mocking cameos. Being treated like a god during his Howard Stern appearance. Getting married.
Best Way to Remember Scott’s Cool & Toughness:
No commentary necessary.
