Ray Romano always knew he could make friends laugh, but he never really gave stand-up comedy any serious thought until one fateful open-mic night in 1984. He did well, the bug bit hard and Romano was smitten. After stints at odd jobs by day and journeyman comedian by night, he decided to leave the 9-to-5 ranks and pursue comedy full-time, eventually winning the K-ROCK Comedy Riot in 1989.
Following that success, Romano 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.
Romano has not only gone on to star in his own television series, but to perform at the White House for President Bill Clinton and headline the Toyota Comedy Festival at Carnegie Hall. Among his numerous television appearances are hosting “Saturday Night Live,” “HBO Comedy Half Hour: Ray Romano,” “The HBO 15th Annual Young Comedians Special” and “Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist.” He is also the author of the New York Times best-selling book based on his comedy, “Everything and a Kite.”
Romano has been nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Romano recently won a TV Guide Award for Actor of the Year in a Comedy Series, as well as the Funniest Male Lead in a TV Series at the 14th Annual American Comedy Awards and the Television Critics Association Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Comedy.
