'Raymond,' 'Housewives' Casts Will Present Emmys The casts of two of TV's more popular series -- one an Emmy mainstay, the other a breakout new hit -- will present awards at the 57th annual Primetime Emmys.The ensembles from "Everybody Loves Raymond," which ended its nine-year run on CBS in May, and ABC's "Desperate Housewives," the biggest new show of 2004-05, will each take the stage Sunday (Sept. 18) to hand out awards. The animated cast of FOX's "Family Guy" will also make a "special appearance" on the show."Housewives" and "Raymond" are among the leading nominees at this year's Emmys, collecting 15 and 13 nods, respectively. Both shows are up for outstanding comedy series, and their stars represent four of the five nominees for lead actress in a comedy ("Raymond's" Patricia Heaton and "Housewives" stars Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman; "Malcolm in the Middle's" Jane Kaczmarek is the fifth).The rest of the core "Raymond" cast -- Ray Romano, Doris Roberts, Peter Boyle and Brad Garrett -- all earned nominations as well. Of the group, only Boyle has yet to win an Emmy for his work on the show."Family Guy," which returned to FOX this year after being cancelled in 2003, was nominated for outstanding animated program. It lost out to "South Park" at Sunday's (Sept. 11) Creative Arts Emmys.
