TONY DANZA CRASHES His GO-KART!! NOT INJURED *whew*

<snip>

NEW YORK -- Tony Danza got quite a scare when he and NASCAR star Rusty Wallace were racing go-karts during the taping of a segment for the nationally syndicated "The Tony Danza Show."

Danza was leading as they entered the final lap on West 66th Street Monday morning, the show said. After Wallace gave Danza's vehicle a little "bump and run," the 54-year-old talk-show host lost control of his go-kart, which flipped over.

"Although slightly worse for wear, Danza escaped with no injuries," the show said in a statement.

Wallace, who rushed to Danza's side after the crash, said, "I thought I killed ya," to which Danza responded, "Yeah ... just before you retire, `I killed Tony Danza."'

"I know you're tough, but that (was) ridiculous, man!" Wallace was quoted as saying.

The "DayTony 500" segment aired on Monday's show.

1. thank goodness - OTOH I don't know if you saw Danza on "Family Law"

on TV from 2000 - 2002 as Joe Celano. . .he was in a dramatic role, and strangely enough he was a pretty damn good dramatic actor. Subtle, powerful, nuanced, real, etc.

Yeah I know, it sounds crazy. I couldn't believe it myself. So now I must say I am sorry he is wasting his talent on "The Tony Danza Show."

4. *whew* Tommy Lasorda can rest easy

One of the truly bizarre moments in sports-Lasorda was giving his Hall of Fame induction speech and he pointed out his buddy Danza in the crowd and asked him to stand for a round of applause.

"I killed Tony Danza" :D

6. I kind of think Tony Danza shouldn't get out of bed in the morning...

Didn't he have a horrific ski-ing accident a few years ago? :hi:

7. Saw Tony

on Danny Deutsch and he seemed to be a really good hearted guy with a lot of earthiness to him. His father was a city garbageman in NY and his mother was an immigrant and the best piece of advice they gave him was that you had to be part of the "team". The team being America. I think that was the message of the children of immigrants who grew up in the fifties. Be part of America.
