Eulogy, Mooseport, SNL,and all the rest.

Hello everyone, Ray here.
Well we just wrapped our seventh season on Thursday night.
The season finale is a 45 minute episode that involves Robert and Amy's wedding.
Maybe they do, maybe they don't.

I also just wrapped my first movie "Eulogy" on Sunday night. It was an independent movie I was doing on my off days from "Raymond" for the last five weeks.

It went pretty good, I think. I'm scared.
It's a black comedy with a good cast. Debra Winger, Hank Azaria, Kelly Preston, Zooey Deschanel, Famke Jansen, Rip Torn, and Piper Laurie.

We play a dysfunctional family, so it wasn't much of a stretch. Actually my character is different from Ray Barone. If you can believe it he's even a bigger jerk, and a little sleazy. I have a mustache in it, which was my choice for the character, and I never hated myself more than when I had to spend an hour a day , sticking glue and alcohol on my face getting it on and off. (I can't grow one myself because I'm twelve). Anyway, now I thought I'd have a little time off, but we're busy working on this "Mooseport" script, which is a movie I'm starting in three weeks with believe it or not, Mr. Gene Hackman. Something is very wrong with show buisness, when they let me do a movie with him.

Also hosting Saturday Night Live on the 12th so I gotta write a couple sketches for when we go there. The last time I did it, (four years ago) my writers and I came in with three sketches and two of them made it on the air. The E.S.P.N sketch, and The Roberto Begnini sketch.
How's everyone doing here? I see the message board is still alive and well.
Okay, gotta go.
One thing, my twin boys are begging me to say 'Weinerschnitzel" on Saturday Night Live. I don't know why, they just heard the word and think it would be hysterical if I would say it, so they've been bothering me for two months to promise I would say it. I didn't promise them, but during the goodbyes, at the end of the show, when everyone is standing on stage and waving and all that, if you here me say weinerschnitzel, that's why.

Pray for peace.

Ray
