Ray Romano

The laughter never stops on the set of "Everybody Loves Raymond." For Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, Doris Roberts, Peter Boyle and. Brad Garrett everything is fair game. Nothing is too sacred to poke fun at on this show about a hilariously dysfunctional family based on the real life antics of former stand up comic Ray Romono.

So during our day here on the set of "Everybody Loves Raymond," we talked about everything from sex to relationships. But we asked everybody to take our little pop quiz inspired by the show itself.

Leeza: What is the best way for a guy to handle that time of the month? Give your wife a pill, give your wife a hug, avoid your wife all together?

Ray: I would say a hug but you have to be careful, giving a hug it is like with an alligator.

Patricia: Give your wife a hug.

Leeza: As you get older, do you a) want sex more, or do b) you not think about it as much?

Doris: With all the drugs out there, Viagra, are you kidding.

Clearly everybody does love Raymond. The show now in its fifth season is one of the highest rated comedies on TV.

Leeza: I read somewhere that you were saying gee maybe its a good thing to get out while you are on top.

Ray: I am not going to quit now. I am not going to quit this year.

The hours are long, but the pay is great and Ray's real life family, which includes four kids, are right at home on the set.

Leeza: You must have the world's most fabulous, most understanding wife.

Ray: And rich. You have to throw that in, that helps.
