Tony Danza raced go-karts with NASCAR driver Rusty Wallace on his daytime talk show and rolled his vehicle in a barrel roll.

The incident happened on May 9, 2005, during an episode of The Tony Danza Show, which aired from 2004 to 2006. Danza, known for starring in Taxi and Who's the Boss?, hosted the program. It shared its name with a 1997 sitcom that lasted five episodes.

Wallace appeared as a guest. The two competed in go-karts, a typical segment for such shows. Danza's go-kart flipped, creating the most memorable moment of the series' run.

Danza's background playing a taxi driver in Taxi did not prevent the crash. The promoter aired footage of the event. A sports commentator recalled seeing the promo years ago and questioning if it was real or imagined.

Danza emerged unharmed. Video of the crash has remained online for more than two decades.
