#2-Rusty Wallace is scheduled to appear on two nationally broadcasted television shows on Monday (May 9) during a day’s visit to New York City. The first stop on Wallace’s agenda will be on FOX-TV’s “Fox & Friends” which airs at 7:00am/et. This offbeat morning show features Anchors E.D. Hill, Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade. As their promotional materials boast, they take a look at the day’s news, sports and weather from a different perspective. It is an interactive show where you can call in to voice your opinion or have your e-mail read.
Wallace is then scheduled to be a special guest on “The Tony Danza Show.” Hosted by Danza, one of America’s most recognized and likeable television personalities, the show is a one-hour talk show with guests that include actors, athletes, newsmakers and real people with interesting stories to tell. Monday’s guests on “The Tony Danza Show” will also include actor David Hyde Pierce, who is appearing in the smash Broadway hit “Spamalot.” “The Tony Danza Show” airs locally on Charlotte’s WCNC-TV at 4:00pm/et. Consult your local listings for stations and broadcast times in your area. Wallace will also visit the “ESPN Zone” where he is to be interviewed by ESPN’s “The Pulse” and by ESPN News.(Tom Roberts PR)(5-7-2005)
UPDATE: 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 Monday morning on West 66th Street, 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.(ESPN.com/AP)(5-9-2005)
