Henry Winkler recreates Wednesday dance with Amelia Dimoldenberg
Netflix/Amelia Dimoldenberg Henry Winkler teamed up with Chicken Shop Date host Amelia Dimoldenberg on the Golden Globes red carpet to recreate the viral dance from Wednesday.
Wednesday, the Addams Family spinoff starring Jenna Ortega as the titular teenager, was a bona fide sensation when it dropped on the streaming platform.
