Young Hollywood

Hey guys, we're here at the Sundance Film Festival hanging out with Ray Romano who is in town promoting his new movie The Last Word.

Ray Romano

West Bentley plays a character who is a writer, he will write a your suicide note for you and I play one of his clients, I'm a fairly depressed man.

Young Hollywood

I often think what I would want without getting too morbid here. What I would want at my gravestone. I always think Arnold Schwarzenegger is the best one because he could just write I'll be back. If you could write a note, what would you write?

Ray Romano

I think on my tombstone, I would just have sorry. That's all. I had the big five oh.

Young Hollywood

You're kidding.

Ray Romano

Yeah, my wife threw a surprise party for me. I told her like six months before, I go do not, do not. First of all, I'm gonna know. I'm going to expect it and she pulled it off. I didn't expect it. Everybody there, which is good, but here's the downside to it. She thought she'd score some points, but the all I could think of was, wait a minute, if she could pull this off, what else is she doing behind my back?

Young Hollywood

50's the new 41. Oh yeah. So the movie's called The Last Word. Do you have any last words for us?

Ray Romano

Go see it and then go see Ice Age.

Young Hollywood

Ray Romano

I'm not young and I'm or Hollywood. Somewhere there's been a horrible mistake.
