Answer: Ray Romano.
Ray decided to do his own sitcom, "Everybody Loves Raymond," instead. Ray was replaced on "News Radio" by Joe Rogan, and after a few days of shooting, the cast decided it was easier to call the character Joe Garelli.
Ray guest starred as his Ray Barone character in 1993 on Fran's sitcom, "The Nanny."
Ray would later return to Queens College -- and make the Dean's List for three years while studying accounting.

In our state of Arizona, we have many abuses perpetrated upon our Special Needs Children, in the school setting,by Teacher's Aides, and Teachers.
We need to stand up, and join together, to makethe Government stand up and do something to stop these vicious human beings, from hurting our children under the watchfull eye of the administraters who lie and cover up the incidents of abuse.
My wife and I witnessed, along with others, many violent acts of abuse committed, upon a 6 year old boy, who has CP,Epilepsy and who had 4 brain hemmorhages, and who is un able to protect himself.
We turned it in ,we were immediately put on limited access, Chatised and as a result of turning it in. My Daughter Francine who is 7 years of age, and was born with the extra gene called Down Syndrome, was abused by the same Teachers Aide out of retaliation for turning in the complaint of abuse.
We had a Forensic Interview done Disclosure was found to be present. Three Doctors confired something happened.
We live in a small rural community where the Heiarchy protects one another.The Sheriffs Office immediately asked us what we will do when he finds the Teachers Aide not guilty at the end of a two day investigation of her,with our daughter.
Just as he said in two days he did not find enough evidence,although we had lots of evidence,which he did not ask us about.( I have over a hundred documented pages of evidence that this happened. All 5 witness's were chased out of the school district with the exception of ourselves, who refused to move.An Emergency Phone call which was made by me on my cell phone to the sherrifs department was removed from the records and the Schools Principle was put in my exact times slot, and using my phone number as the phone he used. My phone bill shows that I made the only call.
The County Attorney says that there is not enough evidence withe the Forensic Interview and that Doctors Testimony does not hold up in Court. Although I have a tape recording of him acknowledgeing that there is a possibe coverup and that we should retain a lawyer.
I am 64 years of age a 90% disabled Vietnam Vetran who lost all his entire retirement with a wife, my son Micky 14,and Francine. We have no lawyers who will work Pro Bono, nor do we have money to pay a lawyer. We are to far from the big city for lawyers to take the case.
We need hep exposing this,In order to get bills passed to give our children a safe haven,and bills to put these people in jail for hurting our children,and covering it up.
Chances are you will never see or do anything to help us. I hope and pray that you will as we lost a 13year old who underwent the same abuse all of his life in Florida, and no one did anything untill he died.
God Bless,Jack,Maria,Mickey,and last but not least Francine
