Ray Romano has signed up to be the focus of a golf reality show.
The Everybody Loves Raymond star will be trained by Tiger Woods’ swing coach Hank Haney for the show, on US network the Golf Channel.
The first season of The Haney Project, with former NBA player Charles Barkley, was the second-highest rated program in the network’s history.
Barkley’s appeal was his hideously bad swing. Funnyman Ray, who’s “obsessed” with golf and wants to get better, will add entertainment value to the show, the network’s programming chief said.
On a rooftop in New York’s Greenwich Village, five friends and neighbors gather to celebrate a couple’s fifth wedding anniversary. As the conversation ebbs and flows, glimmers of other possibilities, hints of secret desires, reveal more about each character than they perhaps intend.
Outside a rehearsal hall at La Jolla Playhouse where five actors prepare to play those characters in Terrence McNally’s “Unusual Acts of Devotion,” the playwright said theater resembles the life his play depicts, “It’s a changing beast. Every day it’s different, like life. Every day it’s filled with surprises.”
The La Jolla production, a West Coast premiere that opened in previews on Tuesday, unfolds over one act instead of the two-with-intermission it had during its first staging at the Philadelphia Theater Company last October. But the script still conjures “the unusual acts of love that we all make,” said McNally. “Sometimes they’re misinterpreted. Sometimes they’re not wise because things done out of love are not necessarily the right thing to do. So it’s a kind of a meditation on that. “
The soft-spoken, blue-eyed McNally, looking younger than his 70 years, said the play is “very much about mortality and the fragility of life. There’s young couples just beginning their life together. There are middle-aged people who have had enormous difficulty establishing meaningful relationships. And then there’s an old lady that we don’t know much about. She’s near the end of her journey.”
The versatile Richard Thomas, who plays Chick in the play, “described the play as a nocturne. I think that’s about right,” McNally said.
Joining Thomas in the starry cast is Doris Roberts in the role of that mysterious old lady. Working with Roberts brings McNally full circle from her award-winning role in his early “Bad Habits” off-Broadway in 1974.
“That really put her on the map,” he said. “It was a play that got her a lot of attention. Then she got her TV series (playing the mother on ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’) and now walking with Doris is like walking with the Pope or Obama —- she’s that well-known: ‘Oh, there’s Marie!’”
Actor Harriet Harris, who plays neighbor Josie, agreed about veteran Roberts. “She is just so wonderful. It’s so much fun to watch her work and see what she comes up with in rehearsal. To say that she’s brilliant is such an understatement. “
McNally feels similar admiration for Harris, confiding, “I’ve never worked with a better actress than Harriet. She’s just amazing. She commits 110 percent. She’s uninhibited, bold and daring. She’ll try anything, and she makes it work.”
This is Harris’ third show at the Playhouse and her first dramatic role. She scored as the dastardly Mrs. Meers in the pre-Broadway “Thoroughly Modern Millie” (later winning a Tony Award for her portrayal) and as the Mamie Eisenhower-like mother in “Crybaby.” She’s also known for her role as Bebe, Frasier’s cutthroat agent, on the long-running TV show “Frasier.”
Harris said she’s always wanted to work with McNally and was thrilled to return to the Playhouse, where Christopher Ashley is artistic director. She credited Ashley with her breakthrough to big comic roles when he cast her in Paul Rudnick’s AIDS comedy, “Jeffrey” (1993).
But beyond Ashley’s role in her artistic career, she said, “He’s somebody you want to be around. He’s got a vision, he’s smart, he’s a great guy, an extremely generous man. He’s a great guy to have in charge.”
Harris’ character, Josie, has a long-term and loving relationship with her gay neighbor Chick (Richard Thomas). Josie has other issues, Harris said, “But tonight she’s drinking. She’s sublimating. She is really in trouble. She’s out of rehab, and there are many opportunities (in the script) to see what it might have been that sent her there. She’s angry and she’s volatile and she wants to have a good time, but it’s just not really possible.”
Every character on that rooftop, Harris said, has been given a complicated real life by McNally.
“There are moments when you can see who Josie might have been and how attractive in some ways she might have been, how much better her life would have been. She’s capable of moments of joy. So why is she in so much trouble?”
Without revealing too many of the details upon which the plot turns, she explained that Josie’s “relationship to Chick is really difficult. She loves him more than he loves her, as far as she is concerned. She wanted a life that he would have had to agree to and follow through on. He decided there was something else for him, even though they loved each other and didn’t love anybody else better.”
And summing up the playwright’s approach, Harris said that, despite the play’s dark humor, “there are pretty tough things happening that you want to see resolved. You want people to be whole at the end of the evening, but that’s not what Terrence wants to have happen.”
Guiding the production, which features a set by leading Broadway designer Santo Loquasto, is director Trip Cullman, who was in San Diego recently to stage a dazzling, energetic “Six Degrees of Separation” at the Old Globe.
Cullman, from the same younger generation as “Unusual” actors Maria Dizzia and Joe Manganiello, said he encouraged McNally to consider making the play a longer one-act, rather than taking an arbitrary intermission.
“Part of what’s extraordinary about the piece is that it takes place in one setting, the rooftop, and the action is all continuous. The tone is Chekhovian, with the action happening in real time before the audience’s eyes,” Cullman said.
Describing the play as “really beguiling and serious and kind of akin to later Ibsen plays like ‘When We Dead Awaken,’” Cullman said McNally has created “these extraordinary metaphysical, highly symbolic moments wedded to a hyper-realistic style.”
The script is elegiac, he said, written by an artist at a point when he is reflecting “about what his life has meant, the great joys that have followed him and the disappointments.”
Unlike “Some Men,” a play spanning the history of gay identity and which Cullman directed for McNally in New York, “Unusual Acts of Devotion” moves “beyond any labeling of sexual orientation. It’s about human beings and our deep need to connect with one another, to find meaning in our lives. To be able to have meaningful relationships —- and not hurt one another.”
The multigenerational cast includes rising young New York actress, Maria Dizzia, whom Cullman called “one of my muses.”
He said he’s having a great time working with the cast.
“They’re so real and so truthful and so honest onstage. They’re all of such a high caliber that it’s been easy for me. They’re gung-ho and willing to go to the darkest places in themselves so they can bring that to an audience.”
For playwright McNally, next up is “Catch Me If You Can,” his second musical with the Old Globe’s artistic director emeritus, Jack O’Brien. The show, McNally said, “reunites the ‘Hairspray’ gang, plus me.”
Several years after the first New York workshops, the movie-based musical begins rehearsals June 8 at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in Seattle, with Norbert Leo Butz (from the Globe-sprung “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels”) in the lead and Tom Wopat (from the locally spawned “A Catered Affair”) as the father. Also cast: Kerry Butler from Christopher Ashley’s production of “Xanadu.”
“I really think the show is good, very exciting,” McNally said. “It just took us a long time to get everyone together at the same time and place. We lost Jack for a year to ‘Coast of Utopia,’” McNally said of the multiple Tony-winning Tom Stoppard trilogy at Lincoln Center.
(O’Brien will land in Seattle after three months in England prepping three different casts for three near-simultaneous openings in London, Toronto, and Shanghai of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s sequel to “Phantom of the Opera,” the Coney Island-set “Love Never Dies.”)
Then next year for McNally comes the world premiere of his big three-act historical play “Golden Age” about the quartet of brilliant singers that premiered Bellini’s “I Puritani.” That will open at the Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center along with revivals of his very different opera-themed hits, “Master Class” and “The Lisbon Traviata.”
But before all that, there’s the La Jolla run of “Unusual Acts of Devotion,” an experience McNally said will soon result in a “finished” play. “We began at Ojai (Playwrights Conference) last August with a brand new script in a reading/workshop. We did the production in Philadelphia and felt there was still work to be done to make it better.”
Professing satisfaction now with the ongoing creative process in La Jolla, he says, “I was so happy that Chris Ashley saw it in Philadelphia and loved it and said he wanted to open his season with it. I really feel this will be the definitive edition of the text and production.”

Though it has been a time long since the cancellation of ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ tv show, but we are still in touch with the show in several ways. Some people watch online episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond; others have downloaded seasons of Everybody Loves Raymond; and various others search for the latest news about their favorite stars of the show. What do you do, it depends upon your requirement.
Anyways, my wish today is to talk about the characters of the series. Whom should I start with? Okay, let’s begin with the main character of the show- Raymond Albert Barone. He works as a sportswriter for Newsday, living in Lynbrook, Long Island. The other members of his family are, his wife Debra and kids Geoffrey, Michael and Alexandra “Ally’. The family doesn’t end here, the above mentioned ones share the home with Raymond and living across the street are his parents Frank and Marie and his cop brother Robert. The character of Raymond Albert Barone has some little connections with the real life Romano.
Okay, the next turn is of Debra Louise Whalen Barone. She is Ray’s wife and is the mother of his children. She is a housewife leading a very stressful and tensed life. Making matters worse for her are three obnoxious children and the other members of Ray’s family, especially his parents and brother. And, Ray is never very assisting to her. Although, she manages to control her temper most of the time, its only when Ray does something, that she loses her self control and throws tantrums.
And, it’s Robert Charles Barone now. He’s Ray’s brother and a very caring uncle as well. He has been a New York Police Department Officer, for a long time and in the end of the series, we see him attaining the rank of Lieutenant. The care and concern Ray received from his mother has always been a factor of jealousy for him. He often becomes the center of the humor, thanks to his huge size, standing at 6′ 8.5″.
Well, I think it’d become messy if I talk about all the characters of ‘Everybody Loves Raymond‘ within this post. So, I am gonna to take a break at this point, would return with the next post soon. Meanwhile, you can download Everybody Loves Raymond episodes here!
Comedy is Phil Rosenthal’s job at “Everybody Loves Raymond,” but food is his passion.
“The happy army travels on its stomach,” says Rosenthal, the show’s creator and executive producer, a trim man who is nevertheless so preoccupied with eating that he named his production company “Where’s Lunch?”
The CBS sitcom was born when Rosenthal and stand-up comedian Ray Romano met for the first time and noshed on sandwiches at Los Angeles’ famous Art’s Delicatessen. On-screen, most of the show’s stories take place in the kitchens of Ray and Debra Barone (Romano and Patricia Heaton) and his pushy parents, Frank and Marie (Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts). Marie’s superior cooking abilities are a sore point with her daughter-in-law.
Off-screen, no one in the “Raymond” family ever goes hungry. The cast and crew are greeted with a never-ending bounty of food, from a monstrous production office kitchen stocked with gourmet potato chips, fruits, vegetables and every type of energy bar available on the market, to regular set visits from the staffs of In-N-Out Burger and other popular California eateries, who often cook for the cast and crew on show night.
“It means a lot to people,” says Rosenthal. “It’s actually not talked about much, but I feel it actually strengthens the sense of community. You’re there all day. If the food is really good, you’re going to look forward to coming to work a little more. It makes you happy.”
Judging by the number of key contributors who have been around since Day One, Rosenthal has done a good job keeping his troops well-fed and happy. The entire cast will return intact next month for the show’s seventh season. While writers on hit series usually make fast exits to produce their own shows, six members of the original writing staff (including Rosenthal and Romano) remain - an astounding statistic in the sitcom business
and one of the key reasons this comedy classic was even funnier in its sixth year than it was in its first.
“I love it here, and they seem to like it here too,” says Rosenthal. “I’ve gone out of my way to make sure they would like it. Food is one part of it. When I first got my own show, I said to myself, “How are you going to run this show? What are the rules going to be?’ I had one rule that I could think of, and that was to be nice. Because I’ve worked on many shows where it wasn’t so nice.”
“We could easily be on other shows,” says Lew Schneider, one of the original writers. “They could be awful. When the show started to hit, everybody told us, “Two years and get out.’ None of us (left), and it was because it was such a good place to work and we had a lot to say.”
Rosenthal himself had several chances to walk away. After “Raymond” survived its first season, he signed a lucrative deal to develop other sitcoms with Disney. He was supposed to leave the show after the third season ended, but earlier that year he decided he was happy where he was. So he did something unheard of in Hollywood:
He gave the money back.
“What else could I do?” he says now. “I could’ve left and taken the money. I guess most people do that. That hurts television, doesn’t it? The chances are the show you’re going to won’t be as good as the show you’re leaving, and the show you left suffers because you’re not there. So you’ve hurt two things. I’d rather have one good than two bad.”
At the moment, “Raymond” is significantly better than “good.” It is the second highest-rated comedy on television, after “Friends.” This year, it’s been nominated for 11 Emmys, including nods for all five regular castmembers, its most ever. Reruns from earlier seasons are airing nightly in national syndication (and making a small fortune for Rosenthal, Romano and CBS).
“We all think this was our best year,” says Rosenthal. “It was certainly our most consistent one.”
The script process has remained consistent over the years, following the stories Rosenthal heard about the way Carl Reiner ran “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” At the start of the week, Rosenthal will gather the writers together and ask what happened at their homes since their last meeting. Ninety percent of what appears on the show comes straight out of their real lives, which are blessedly rich with embarrasing incident.
Romano briefly lived in the same neighborhood as his parents, which led to the series’ basic premise. Tucker Cawley, one of the original writers, once attended a Valentine’s Day dinner with his wife and discovered they had nothing to talk about, which inspired the episode “Silent Partners.” When Aaron Shure was considering an offer to join the staff in season four, he accidentally taped a “Raymond” episode over his wedding video; this was slightly tweaked in “The Tenth Anniversary” to have Ray erasing his wedding with the Giants-Bills Super Bowl.
“Aaron lost points with his wife and gained them with me,” says Rosenthal.
Last year, Rosenthal was attending an event at his son Ben’s elementary school and was horrified to hear the boy’s creative writing assignment, the story of a bickering husband and wife called “The Angry Family.” As a roomful of parents started swiveling in their seats to see if they could locate the inspirations for this awful tale, Rosenthal’s shame turned to joy.
“At first, I was mortified,” he recalls. “And the very next split-second, I thought, “How lucky am I that I have a son who writes such beautiful material for my television show?’ I apologize to Ben for his therapy later, but listen, I’ve got a show to do.”
(”The Angry Family,” last year’s premiere, earned Rosenthal an Emmy nomination for comedy writing.)
“If Phil had had a happy life, there would be no show,” says Jeremy Stevens, another original writer.
Even the most humiliating moments can provide fodder for the show. When a spouse calls the writers room during a dry spell, the popular refrain is, “I hope it’s a fight.”
“We’ll be arguing, and she’ll see me smiling and she’ll go, “You’re thinking about an episode!’” says writer Steve Skrovan (another original).
“Sometimes, my wife and I will be watching (the show),” says Rosenthal, “and it’s a fight that we had, and Ray is apologizing and saying exactly what the root of the problem was and understanding, and she’ll hit me and say, “How come you’re understand it for television!’”
The sitcom’s curative powers aren’t limitless, however.
“One time, I dropped the keys to our van down an elevator shaft,” says Schneider, “and my wife is saying, “It’s okay, this’ll be a great show.’ And I say, “Ray dropped his wedding ring into a grate last year. I can’t even use it! This is just a (terrible) thing that happened! This is a total loss! Unless I get killed going down there, there is no show!’”
As the years have gone on, the writers have struggled to avoid not only repeating themselves, but repeating stories they’ve seen on other sitcoms. Every idea gets batted around, twisted this way and that, in the hope of finding a fresh take on old material.
When Ray agrees to teach his daughter Ally about the birds and the bees, he’s speechless when he realizes she doesn’t want to know how babies are born, but why they’re born. When Debra’s recently divorced father arrives at Thanksgiving dinner with a new girlfriend on his arm, she’s not some aerobicized young chippie, but a sleepy octagenarian who makes him feel young and hip in comparison.
If the subject matter is sometimes unexpected - it may be the raciest family sitcom ever - the style of “Raymond” is proudly old-fashioned. When everyone else in television was trying to ape the superficiality of “Seinfeld” in the mid-’90s, Rosenthal was hearkening back to the emotionally richer days of “The Honeymooners,” “All in the Family” and “Taxi.” Instead of a show about nothing, he created a show about how the little things - a faulty can opener, a cheap box of tissues - are usually symbolic of bigger problems.
“If there’s a trait to the writing on the show,” says Rosenthal, who insists that each episode follow a single plot, “it’s that we don’t do an episode unless there’s some kind of emotional underpinning to it, a larger issue that’s worth being told for a full 22 minutes without a B-story or a C-story or crazy sets or a lot of erect nipples.”
The alliegance to older comedy values also means a concerted effort to avoid the impulse to feed the laughtrack beast with constant setups and punchlines. The writers understand that the longer the series is on, the better the audience understands the characters, which means their silences can often be funnier than their jokes.
“Phil would almost rather get a laugh on a look or a piece of action than on a line of dialogue,” says Schneider.
“The audience laughs because they know the character and what the character’s thinking,” says Tucker Cawley. “That’s what makes it easy to write at this point.”
While Brad Garrett (as Raymond’s resentful brother Robert) does the best reactions, Romano isn’t far behind. After beginning the series with virtually no acting experience, Romano has grown leaps and bounds as a performer, and now more than holds his own with Emmy-winning co-stars Heaton and Roberts.
“The breakthrough for Ray was when we talked him into drinking coffee,” says Skrovan. “He wouldn’t do it at first, because he didn’t really drink coffee. Then he said, “Well, I guess I’m gonna have to act now.’”
Rosenthal remembers an argument he had with his star while making the first season’s Christmas episode. Rosenthal wanted it to end with Ray kissing his father on the forehead because it would be unexpected and poignant. Romano insisted he would never do such a thing. Rosenthal finally gave up, but Romano changed his mind during the taping and did it. At the end of the season, he sent Rosenthal a card saying, “I never thought I’d thank anybody for making me kiss Peter Boyle.”
“Now he’s fearless,” says Rosenthal. “He’ll try anything. People say, “Well, he’s just playing himself.’ Bull-. Ray isn’t that character. He’s acting. It’s just that he’s so good you can’t see it.”
Ray Romano is a much smarter man and better parent than Ray Barone, according to his loyal writers - but he’s also more neurotic than his alter ego.
“He seems so much more normal on television than he is in real life,” says Schneider. “He’s way more approachable on television than he is in real life.”
Romano, who writes at least two episodes a year and consults heavily on the rest, may decide to call it quits after this season if he feels the quality is slipping, according to Rosenthal.
“We don’t want to become hacky,” Rosenthal says. “We don’t want to become a joke bag, just pratfalls and crazy (stuff) that you can’t top every week. There’s enough of that on television… If we feel that it starts to dip, we won’t want to be here anymore.
“We’re still watching “The Honeymooners,’ and they only did 39 shows. It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality. The shows that endure are the ones that were good all the time.”
While an abrupt ending is unlikely, it might reopen eyes to just how great “Raymond” has been. Despite the big ratings and awards, the show usually gets forgotten by an entertainment media obsessed with the next hot thing - a fact not unnoticed in the writers room, where digs at hipper series like “Sex and the City” aren’t uncommon.
But Rosenthal is more concerned with the show’s legacy than how many magazine covers it gets today.
“I’ve always said that I’m doing the show for CBS,” says Rosenthal, “but in the back of my mind, it’s for Nick at Nite.”
First telecast in the Fall of 1996, Everybody Loves Raymond became an instant favorite among TV audiences, a love affair that would last for nine memorable seasons. Following on the heels of a series of successful sitcoms starring stand-up comics - Seinfeld, Home Improvement, The Drew Carey Show, etc., Everybody Loves Raymond drew upon the comedic talents of Ray Romano who plays the role of the title character Ray Barone…
A successful Long Island-based sportswriter, Ray and his wife Debra (Patricia Heaton) enjoy a happy marriage and the company of their three children - daughter Ally (Madylin Sweeten) and twin sons Geoffrey (Sawyer Sweeten) and Michael (Sullivan Sweeten). But they also happen to live directly across the street from Ray’s parents, Frank (Peter Boyle) and Marie (Doris Roberts), who take it upon themselves to enter their son and daughter-in-law’s house whenever they wish (without knocking) and dispense advice and sometimes insults. Joining Frank and Marie is Ray’s brother Robert (Brad Garrett), a divorced policeman, who periodically lives with Frank and Marie and is often jealous of Ray’s idyllic life. Together, they create the perfect loving and dysfunctional family…
The Everybody Loves Raymond (Season 3) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere in which Ray and Debra’s house gets quarantined after they spray for termites. Moving into Frank and Marie’s house along with the kids, they decide to give Ray’s parents a dose of their own medicine, but quickly learn that it’s near impossible to turn the tables on their annoying relatives… Other notable episodes from Season 3 include Getting Even in which Debra vows revenge on Ray for embarrassing her, prompting Ray to drive himself crazy in anticipation of her retaliation, and Moving Out in which Robert attempts to move out of his parents house and into a garage apartment only to realize that the couple he’s now living with are clones of the very parents he sought to escape…

Patricia Heaton Detailed Biography:
While studying acting in New York with drama teacher William Esper, Heaton made her Broadway debut in the gospel musical “Don’t Get God Started”. She and fellow students then formed Stage Three, an acting company that produced plays Off-Broadway. They took one production, “The Johnstown Vindicator”, to Los Angeles, where Heaton’s performance caught the eyes of casting directors. Consequently, Heaton portrayed the producer/daughter in the television series “Room for Two” (1992). Her additional television credits include a starring role in the series “Someone Like Me” (1994/I), a regular role in CBS’s “Women of the House” (1995), and a recurring role on “thirtysomething” (1987). She also starred in the highly rated CBS television movie Miracle in the Woods (1997) (TV), with Della Reese. Her feature film credits include Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992), Beethoven (1992), The New Age (1994), and Space Jam (1996).
For her role in “Everybody Loves Raymond” (1996), Heaton won an Emmy for Leading Actress in a Comedy Series. She was nominated for a l999 Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series and won the l998-99 Viewers for Quality Television Best Actress in a Quality Comedy Award.
Heaton was born in Cleveland and lives with her husband and four sons in Los Angeles.
Ray Romano admits that he always knew he could make his friends laugh, but he never really gave stand-up comedy any serious thought until one fateful open-mic night at a New York comedy club in 1984. He did well, the bug bit hard, and Romano was smitten. After stints at odd jobs, including futon mattress delivery boy and bank teller by day, and journeyman comedian by night, he decided to leave the 9-5 ranks and pursue comedy full-time, eventually winning a stand-up comedy competition sponsored by a major New York radio station that same year.
Following that success, he continued to regularly appear at comedy clubs throughout the country, leading to appearances on “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” and then with Jay Leno. He was eventually invited to appear on “Late Night with David Letterman.” That night, Letterman, recognizing something very unique in Romano’s persona, offered him a development deal with his production company, Worldwide Pants. Through that association, the CBS hit, “Everybody Loves Raymond” was born.
Ray has not only gone on to star in his own television series, but to perform at the White House Correspondents Dinner for President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore, and headline the Toyota Comedy Festival at Carnegie Hall. Among his numerous television appearances, he has hosted “Saturday Night Live,” and appeared on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,” winning $125,000 for charity. Romano’s additional television credits include, “HBO Comedy Half-Hour: Ray Romano,” “The HBO 15th Annual Young Comedians Special” and “Dr, Katz: Professional Therapist,” and most recently “Making The Cut,” a 1-hour documentary of Ray and Kevin James’ quest to qualify for the Pebble Beach Pro-Am golf tournament, seen on HBO. Ray made his big screen debut as the voice of “Manny” the wholly mammoth, in the 20th Century Fox smash hit, “Ice Age,” and will be appearing in the sequel, “Ice Age 2,” due out in the spring of 2006. Ray also stars in the features “Eulogy,” and “Welcome To Mooseport,” with Gene Hackman.
After being nominated in 1999, 2000, and 2001, Romano won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series in 2002. Ray has also been nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Comedy Series (2000 and 2001), a Screen Actor’s Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series (2000), a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Male TV Performer (2000, 2001, 2003), and an AFI Actor of the Year Award for Male in a Series (2002). Ray recently won a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Male TV Performer 2004, 2003, 2002), a TV Guide Award for Actor of the Year in a Comedy Series (2001), the Funniest Male Lead in a TV Series at the 14th Annual American Comedy Awards (2000) and the Television Critics Association Award For Outstanding Individual Achievement in Comedy (1999). Ray’s comedy album “Live at Carnegie Hall,” was nominated for Best Spoken Comedy Album at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards (2002). “Everybody Loves Raymond” won an Emmy Award in 2003 and 2005 for Outstanding Comedy Series.
Ray is also the author of the New York Times best-selling book based on his comedy, “Everything And A Kite.” He has also written a children’s book along with his brothers, Richard and Robert, entitled, “Raymie, Dickie, and the Bean: Why I Love and Hate My Brothers,” released in March 2005.
He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and four children.
