Other hosting responsibilities have included "Robotica" for TLC.

Most recently, Ray hosted Lifetime's "Head 2 Toe" and was the co-host of the talk magazine show, "Lifetime Now," where she dished about trends in entertainment, fashion, beauty and travel with actress Linda Dano. Ray has hosted "Soap News Update" and "Soap Center," both for the SOAPnet cable channel, and has also served as a regular member of the "Fashion Police" for Us Weekly's celebrity fashion feature.
