Tony Danza's Red Carpet Interview Goes Awry, Reporter Calls Out 'Rude' Behavior

New York, NY Veteran actor Tony Danza reportedly delivered a terse and dismissive response to red carpet reporter Rye Myers during the opening night of the Broadway musical 'New York, New York.' The incident, captured on video and shared by Myers, has sparked discussion online regarding celebrity conduct at public events. Myers, who identifies as a 'Broadway & Entertainment BFF' reporter, approached Danza with questions about his favorite Kander and Ebb musical moment and a New York City staple food. According to Myers, Danza's demeanor quickly turned sour. "You're more excited than we are," Danza is heard saying in the footage, followed by a light pat on Myers' face and a directive: "You gotta come up with better questions. Come on, let's go. I gotta go." Myers, who has previously interviewed other notable figures like Joel Gray and Lin-Manuel Miranda without similar issues, expressed his shock and embarrassment in his video's caption. "To say I was blown away, shocked, and embarrassed is an understatement," he wrote, adding, "But, my professionalism showed through!" The exchange has drawn varied reactions from the public, with many viewers criticizing Danza's perceived rudeness, while some suggested Myers' questions might have been too simplistic for a red carpet setting. The event underscores the often-unpredictable nature of celebrity interactions in the public eye.
