I'd love to be able to say this is just another one of my clever intros where I mention Antonio Banderas but end up writing 4 paragraphs about peach cobbler, but it's not. I truly thought that. And Christ why? Zorro films are entertaining enough, but it's not like that 4 foot tall masked man burned up the pop culture zeitgeist with his swashbuckling adventures in 1998 and 2005. And I think we've satiated our thirst for Banderas himself with those Nasonex commercials, featuring the sultry Spanish heartthrob as "The Cheerios Bee: The Gay Blade"**.
"Seriously, Michael Douglas' dork must look like Abe Vigoda's index finger...", Zorro whispered into the ear of his love.
Now, Tony Danza; that's a vaguely ethnic, dark-haired actor who we need to see more of. Have you ever seen Hollywood Knights, starring Robert Whul, Fran Drescher, Tony Danza, and Michelle Pheiffer? Just a great cult teen comedy, a la American Graffiti, but with more dick jokes and less Ron Howard. And Tony Danza.
Did I mention Tony Danza?
Ok, well my thought process ran dry. I mean, after that mindgasm of America's favorite Italian live-in male housekeeper...where else can we go?
So it's video time. First I bring you one of my all-time favorites. The Opie and Anthony radio show has many great moments due to Anthony's spot on impressions. I implore you to listen to him talk to a fan in line at the Tony Danza Show-as Tony. I'm not going to ruin the ending, but suffice it to say if you are at work, plug in those headphones.
Next up is a nice one from the aforementioned Hollywood Knights. Keep those headphones plugged in. Aren't I a great guy?
**Finally, if you didn't get the starred joke, then you really and truly need to reevaluate your priorities...
