Henry Winkler\u2019s TikTok For someone who\u2019s only posted six TikTok videos, Winkler is starting to hit a groove on the platform in more ways than one. Since 2020, Winkler has published a few messages to his fans as well as an initial dance video that went viral to the tune of 14 million views. In the midst of the 2021 holiday season, the comedian gave his 1.1 million followers a long-awaited follow-up to his initial dance TikTok years prior.
