In a recent episode of his SiriusXM podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, the television host and comedian discussed his first encounter with Everybody Loves Raymond’s Ray Romano – and how he rejected Romano’s job application.

“Ray Romano wanted to be a monologue writer for my show. Great comedian, great joke writer. We didn’t have a slot, but he had a good packet and people knew him, so I met with him,” O’Brien said in his podcast.

“And I just kind of said that, ‘Your stuff is great but we didn’t have an opening,’” O’Brien, 62, explained. “He goes from that experience to maybe a year later getting Everybody Loves Raymond and then becoming this monolithic TV star.

“I remember later on running into him and [him] saying, ‘Ah, so I was really bummed I didn’t get that job,’ I’m like, ‘What are you talking about? Do you realise what we pay monologue writers? Ray, Ray, hello! Ray, you’re Ray Romano. That doesn’t happen if you’re with me writing!’”Romano, a stand-up comedian, rose to prominence in the early 90s and noughties for his role in CBS’ hit sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, for which the actor won three Primetime Emmy Awards.

More recently, Romano is starring in Netflix’s dark comedy, No Good Deed, alongside Lisa Kudrow and Luke Wilson.
Alongside his accomplished Hollywood career, the 67-year-old has also been happily married to his wife, Anna, for 37 years. The couple share four children together: Alexandra, Matthew, Gregory and Joseph.
