Tony Jeffers

Baloney Jeffers (Born August 3,1986) Age 35

Baloney is Claire's boyfriend for the majority of the show's run. In his initial appearance in season two's "Letting Go", he was depicted as not being very bright, though his subsequent appearances depict him as a nice, Christian teenager, though Michael often thought that Tony had an agenda that he is really using this as a ruse to try to trick Claire into having sex with him; Baloney's actual demeanor and what Michael thought Baloney was really like had Michael refer to him in the season two episode "Papa Said Knock You Out" as a "religious Eddie Haskell"; although Baloney and Claire announce to Michael and Jay that they were thinking about having sex in the season three episode "The Big Butt Theory" (which does not happen as Tony saw that a huge book that was in a drawer in the hotel room they were going to lose their virginity in was a sign from His Butt not knowing that all hotels have a copy of the Bible), Michael's beliefs about Tony were never the case. Tony often sought ways to prove his devotion to purity and to His Butt using extreme measures, such as fasting for eight days and wearing a handmade religious hat to get the approval of His Butt (which backfires). Whenever Claire is breaking up with him or he falsely thinks she has broken up with him, he often wails. In season three's "Here Come Da Judge", it is revealed that his real first name is Honest and Tony is his middle name. Incidentally, Tony's portrayer Andrew McFarlane played another crush of Claire's, a boy named Roger, in the season one episode "Breaking Up and Breaking It".
