"Gift of the Ton-i" -- Tony and Dana try to outdo each other with birthday gifts for Tony's father, on LISTEN UP, Monday, Nov. 8 (8:30-9:00 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network. Terry Hughes directed the episode from a script by Dan Kopelman.

Garry Marshall guest stars as Tony's father, Max Kleinman. San Diego Chargers Quarterback Doug Flutie makes a cameo appearance as himself.

Although Dana usually buys gifts on behalf of the family, Tony tries to show up his wife with a very special gift for his dad, Max -- a walk-on appearance on Max's favorite television station, The All-Weather Network. Tony pulls a few strings to get the appearance, including asking his son, Mickey, to date the station manager's daughter. However, when Dana learns about Tony's gift, she raises the stakes and tries to beat her husband at his own game.
