The pair's co-star Danny Pintauro also recently spoke about his love for Who's The Boss for its 40th birthday, telling his Instagram followers that he had declared "September 20th is, from this day forward, Who's the Boss? Day."

"So, happy Who's the Boss? Day," he added as the show's theme song played in the background, smiling. "And happy 40th anniversary to the premiere of the first episode of our wonderful television show."

Who's the Boss? is available to stream on Hulu.
