"ough" can be pronounced /oʊ/ in words like "though" or "dough"
Yeah so he should've used the word "though." Not the word "tough."
That part of the joke is that "ough" can represent /oʊ/. Not that it WOULD, that it CAN.
And besides, the "th" in "though" is pronounced /ð/, and the "T" in "Tony" isn't.
