Lo and behold, the guy named Tony, who only plays characters named Tony, is getting his own talk show.

At least I sleep all day, so I’m extremely unlikely to ever actually _see_ this sure to be stultifyingly dull show.

Talk show? Wasn’t there a sit-com called the Tony Danza Show a few years back?
