Chachi trolls Critchi: Comedian Mark Critch gets a rise out of Scott Baio

St. John's comedian Mark Critchgot into abrief, nostalgia-fuelled feud with an icon from his youth Tuesday, after musing on TwitteraboutU.S. politics.

Critch got into a brief Twitter tiff with Scott Baio, the American actor and now-Trump supporter, on Tuesday.

"He is mad at me, but he did research me, I guess," Critch toldCBC Radio's Central Morning Showafter the fact.

"When I was a little kid, growing up on Kenmount Road, if you had told me that Chachi would attack me on social media one day, my head would explode."

The 22 Minutes star started the volley with Baio when he responded Monday to U.S. president-elect Donald Trump, who thought little of Meryl Streep'sveiled criticism of him at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night.

"She's no Scott Baio," wrote Critch, making fun of the former Happy Days star, who is one of the few Hollywood actors to line up behind Trump.

Critch was not the only one to make such a crack. Comedian James Corden made the same joke Monday night on CBS's Late Late Show.

Still, Baio was not impressed, and on Tuesday fired back at Critch'sprofile on TV.

"I stand corrected," Critch later tweeted.

Soon after, Critch mused about the exchange, with a reference that hard-core Happy Days fans should recognize.

'"Look, I'm all for it, come on," Critichsaid. "Let's go back and forth and talk about these things and make fun of each other and stuff. It's all great."
