Biography[]
Johnny is Fat Tony's right-hand man who once betrayed him so he could be the new boss. However, he seem to be forgiven for this betrayal.
In “A Made Maggie”, he (along with Legs and Louie), learn that Fat Tony became Maggie Simpson’s godfather; and now donates all his time to the baby. Johnny especially gets jealous, and plans on betraying Tony. He briefly proposes this to Don Castellaneta. Johnny later invites Legs and Louie to join him, who in turn agree. At the Itchy and Scratchy on Ice show, Johnny, wearing an Itchy costume, holds his gun at Tony. He claims that Tony did "the worse thing a mob boss could do, care about somebody else". Before he can shoot, Legs and Louie intervene, restraining Johnny, as Tony enters the rink and hits the former with his gun. Tony is about to kill Johnny right in the rink, until he realizes that Maggie is watching, although he does hit Johnny with his gun multiple times after. It is left open-ended on what happens to Johnny at the end of the episode.
