As a red carpet reporter, I’m here to help bring excitement to your event and promote it! I Love chatting with Broadway and Entertainment’s best as “Your Broadway & Entertainment Bff!” I understand not everyone is in the mood to answer questions, and you can always pass. I asked these same questions (and a few others!) to heavy hitters like #JoelGray #linmanuelmiranda and others, and only #TonyDanza replied like this…. To say I was blown away, shocked, and embarrassed is an understatement…But, my professionalism showed through! #tonydanza #wtfmoments #celebrityencounters #rude #nypost #pagesix #tmznews #whostheboss #redcarpet #redcarpetreporter #shockingmoments #rudecelebrities #slapintheface #celebritynews

Tony Danza wasn’t in the mood for red-carpet questions.
The 72-year-old actor is earning a slew of online backlash for his adverse reaction to red-carpet reporter Rye Myers at the opening of the musical “New York, New York” on Wednesday, April 26.
Their interaction began tense when Danza immediately said that Myers should “relax a little” and further pointed out that the reporter seemed “more excited than we are.”
From there, their time together only worsened, with Danza insisting that Myers improve his questions.
Myers asked the New York native: “What’s your favourite New York City staple food item? Is it pizza or a hot dog?” The reporter had been asking nearly every celebrity this question throughout the night to match the theme of the Broadway production.

Tony Danza has joined the small but growing list of stars whose attitude towards red carpet interactions with reporters has been found wanting.
The veteran actor, most famous for his role on comedies Taxi and Who’s the Boss?, was being interviewed by reporter Rye Myers at the Broadway premiere of ‘New York, New York’.
In a video posted by Myers to TikTok, Danza is seen telling the reporter to “relax a little.”
He continued: “You’re more excited than we are. Take it easy.”
When Myers described the moment as “exciting,” Danza replied, “I know, I know, I know. Ok.”
Unlike other guests questioned by Myers about their favourite New York City staple food, Danza refused to answer, instead touching the reporter’s face and telling him, “You know what you’ve got to do, buddy, you’ve got to come up with better questions.”
Myers captioned his video: “To say I was blown away,...
