Okay — we don’t know that for sure. But, what we do know is that the next television project for Ray Romano, the popular star of the late great-ish Everybody Loves Raymond, isn’t classified as a comedy or a dramedy. No, Ray fans. The next time you see Romano in a regular […]

Comic D.L. Hughley Named Host of Next NAACP Image Awards

Many people most associate actor D.L. Hughley with Aaron Sorkin’s much hyped and famously failed NBC drama from Fall 2006, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
