For too long, Tony Danza has lived in the shadows. This A-list icon has been masquerading as a C-list celebrity for the better part of 25 years (quite possibly his greatest performance to date). Why is he doing this? Perhaps he is trying to stay out of the limelight. Maybe it is unintentional and he really is a mediocre actor. Or is he possibly hiding something?

I decided to do some research.

After experiencing every captivating performance Mr. Danza has graced us with, I am left only to believe that he is a deserving superstar. Tony has done a great deal for the people of America with artistic and culturally profound television shows such as Taxi, Hudson Street, The Practice, and The Tony Danza Show (in which all the characters he portrayed were named Tony). But, even after recognizing the beauty that this man radiates, something was upsetting me.

And - while whipping up some Sunday Sauce with Meatballs from Don't Fill Up on the Antipasto: Tony Danza's Father-Son Cookbook - it suddenly hit me harder than Tony's 9-3 boxing record.

The question that had been subconsciously distressing me since I watched a 1984 pilot episode finally materialized: who is the boss?* 

My request - no, my demand is as simple as that. Tony Danza needs to stand in front of the world and answer our cries.

Who's the boss, Tony?

Who's the boss?

*If you do not understand the context to this query, watch all 196 glorious episodes of Who's the Boss? (Mr. Danza plays a character named Tony in this masterpiece as well: talk about a chameleon). Only then will you understand the level of Earth-shattering truth I am seeking.*
