John Byner was originally cast as Mork, but quit right before taping day. Garry Marshall asked the cast if they knew anyone who might replace him, and Al Malinaro, who had seen a stand-up comedian set in LA earlier in the week, suggested one of the star comedians of that show: Robin Williams. Marshall quickly got in touch with Williams's agent, and the rest is history. In an Emmy TV LEGENDS interview segment Ron Howard said the episode "My Favorite Orkan", which had such a horrible script that ABC questioned Gary Marshall if he really wanted to film such a silly story, quickly went from one of the worst episodes in Happy Days history during the rehearsal to one of the best during taping solely on the basis of William's star-making performance. Williams quickly got his own series and A-List stardom soon followed. The two (John Byner & Robin Williams) would star together in A Wish for Wings That Work (1991).
