Add this to the list of surprises for 2025. Actor Ray Romano took the mic at karaoke for a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Calif., over the weekend and got his Slim Shady on with a performance of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” anthem.

After playing a round Saturday (July 12) at the American Century Championship, Romano hit the stage with a live band and backup vocalists in a New York Jets T-shirt and backward cap. “One moment. We could capture it or just let it slip away,” he began the performance while channeling his inner-Slim Shady.

The Everybody Loves Raymond star lost track of the beat at various times, but managed to stumble through the finish line as he even turned his hat sideways for Em’s last verse.
Fans had love for his effort while hopping into the comment section of the viral TikTok video. “Telling my kids this is the beastie boys,” one person joked.
Another chimed in: “First Obama… now Ray Romano… people I never thought I’d hear singing Eminem. Love it!”
“Lose Yourself” arrived back in 2002 as the lead single for Eminem’s 8 Mile film. The soundtrack hit gave Em his first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, where it led for 12 weeks. The hit also won best original song at the 2003 Oscars.
Ray Romano wasn’t the only celebrity to grab the mic at karoake that night, as the Kelce brothers, Travis and Jason, teamed up for a duet of Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll.”
Travis was the star of the annual karaoke show last year when he performed Whitesnake’s “Here I Go Again,” which the Kansas City Chiefs tight end dedicated to his girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
