Here's Tony for Visa Checkcard in 1998...
Here's one featuring Tony for Japan's Tanaka Eyewear in the early 2000s...
Here's another for Tanaka...
Here's Tony and Lady Gaga for Barnes & Nobel in 2015...
Here's Tony and Lady Gaga for Hungarian TV plugging H&M...
Here's Tony in the 1990s singing the jingle used by New York's WNEW-AM...
