Ray Romano's close call: The star survived major health scare
For two decades, Ray's cholesterol played the villain in his life story, sneaking up to a perilous 90% blockage in his main artery – the notorious "widow-maker." Despite his doc's pleas to pop some statins, Ray was determined to DIY his way to health. "Let me do it myself," he'd declare, armed with nothing but a salad fork and sheer willpower.
Romano's routine was a rollercoaster of leafy greens and false confidence. "I'd go home and think I was hot s***," he confessed. But after 16 years of dietary defiance, reality hit hard with a stent to save his heart. "I got kind of lucky that we found it," he admitted, now facing a new foe – pre-diabetes.
Reflecting on his close shave with mortality, Romano wishes he'd swallowed his pride along with those meds. "I would have gone on the meds," he mused, acknowledging the struggle to "sustain that diet stuff." But with a second chance at life, this comedy king is ready to rewrite his script.
Romano shuts down 'Everybody Loves Raymond' reboot rumors
In a candid chat with 'Maher,' Romano dished the deets on why the "Barone" family won't be gracing our screens again. "As far as a reboot, well, it’s now out of the question because unfortunately the parents are gone: Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts," he revealed. That's right, the iconic duo who played Frank and Marie Barone have passed away – Roberts in 2016 and Boyle in 2006 – leaving a gap too big to fill.
Romano didn't mince words about the reboot trend, either. "They’re never as good," he said, determined to preserve the show's legacy just as it is. A bold move, especially when you think about all the reboots popping up left and right, like "Night Court," "Frasier," and "Roseanne."
But don't despair, Romano fans! The comedy king isn't leaving us high and dry. He's gearing up to tickle our funny bones in Netflix's dark comedy 'No Good Deed,' alongside 'Friends' alum Lisa Kudrow. The series promises a wild ride as three families battle over a house that's more trouble than it's worth.
So, while the Barone family reunion is a no-go, Ray Romano is still serving up laughs, just in a brand-new neighborhood!
