Great Conversaton. Great Comedy.

Part of the LateNet fun is to see who Ray’s invited to the show — fellow comedians, film/TV stars, musical legends, or fascinating surprise guests. Ray’s a gifted interviewer who brings out the best in each of his guests, putting them at ease while asking the questions that bring out surprising — and always funny — answers. Ray makes his guests shine.
