The 61st Primetime Emmy Awards

Ray Romano

The late '90s and early 2000s saw enormous success and acclaim for "Everybody Loves Raymond" -- and everybody did, including the Emmys, which bestowed several awards to the show, which Romano conceived, produced and won two Emmys himself for best lead actor ... morein a comedy. But since "Raymond" said goodbye in 2005, Romano's been mostly acting in voiceover roles, notably the "Ice Age" franchise. But Romano fans, rejoice, he's been busy filming episodes of an hour-long drama for TNT, "Men of a Certain Age," alongside Andre Braugher and Scott Bakula, that is expected to debut on TNT in December. He told David Letterman in June that because the show will be on cable, "I like that we're a little less censored. You don't know how many times on 'Raymond' I wanted to say, 'Shut the f--- up, Debra!'" Let 'er rip, Ray!
