He attended Clarkstown North High School where he became very active in the school's drama club, Cue 'N Curtain. During his four years at Clarkstown, Rosenthal acted in many high school plays. Among his fellow schoolmates were the late television producer Alan Kirschenbaum (''Yes, Dear'') and cabaret singer Richard Holbrook. Rosenthal graduated from Clarkstown North in 1977. He attended Hofstra University, from which he graduated in 1981. In the early 1980s, Rosenthal was an actor based out of New York City before shifting his focus to production work, becoming the writer and producer of such shows as ''Coach'' with Craig T. Nelson and the short-lived ''Baby Talk''. Rosenthal's largest commercial success and longest running project was the sitcom ''Everybody Loves Raymond''. The show was co-produced by Ray Romano, and based in part on Ray Romano's comedy material. Rosenthal's wife, actress Monica Horan, played the role of Amy MacDougall-Barone, the off and on girlfriend (wife after season 7) of Robert Barone (Brad Garrett) in ''Raymond''. It was Rosenthal and Romano who decided to retire the series over the objections or reservations of the other cast members. Rosenthal has occasionally acted as well, in projects such as James L. Brooks' ''Spanglish''; ''The Simpsons Movie,'' a big screen adaption of the long running TV series which was also produced by Brooks and his company, Gracie Films; ''Curb Your Enthusiasm''; ''30 Rock''; and Jake Kasdan's feature, ''The TV Set''. Rosenthal is the author of the book ''You're Lucky You're Funny: How Life Becomes a Sitcom'' which was published on October 21, 2006. He recounts how his life led to the success of ''Everybody Loves Raymond''. 〔http://books.google.ca/books/about/You_re_Lucky_You_re_Funny.html?id=CYiFAAAAIAAJ&redir_esc=y〕 Rosenthal directed President Bill Clinton in a White House Correspondents' Dinner video, which was shown to wide acclaim at the April 2000 event.
