Conan is a late-night talk show hosted by comedian Conan O'Brien, broadcast on TBS. Season 4 Episode 10 is titled "Tony Danza's Incredibly Inaccurate Book About Feudal Japan."

In this episode, Conan welcomes actor Tony Danza as his guest. Danza, known for his roles in classic TV shows such as "Taxi" and "Who's the Boss?", has recently published a book about feudal Japan, despite having little knowledge or expertise on the subject.

The episode begins with a comedic sketch featuring Conan and Danza dressed in traditional Japanese garb and attempting to make sushi, with disastrous results. The two then sit down for an interview, during which Danza discusses his motivations for writing the book and the research he undertook (which, according to him, consisted mainly of watching old Kurosawa films).

Conan is clearly skeptical of Danza's supposed expertise, and the two engage in a humorous back-and-forth regarding the accuracy of certain details in the book. Danza confesses that he may have taken some creative liberties, such as portraying samurais as "basically ninjas with swords."

The conversation eventually turns to Danza's acting career, with the two discussing his most iconic roles and reminiscing about the heyday of network television. Danza even treats the audience to an impromptu performance of his classic "Tap Dance from Who's the Boss?"

Later in the episode, Conan welcomes musical guest Car Seat Headrest to the stage. The indie rock band performs their hit song "Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales," which receives a rousing response from the studio audience.

In the show's signature "Remote" segment, Conan travels to a nearby karaoke bar with his hilarious sidekick Andy Richter. The two proceed to belt out some of the biggest karaoke hits of all time, much to the amusement of the bar's patrons.

Overall, "Tony Danza's Incredibly Inaccurate Book About Feudal Japan" is a fun and lighthearted episode of Conan, showcasing O'Brien's trademark wit and humor alongside his guest's charm and charisma. Whether you're a fan of classic TV or simply looking for a good laugh, this episode is sure to deliver.
