Also known as "The Big Ragoo," Carmine is a big part of Laverne and Shirley's life. Shirley is his "best girl," and although he is frustrated that Shirley will not commit, he also enjoys his freedom to date other women. He is always there for the girls, whether he is helping them out of a jam or singing for them with his fabulous tenor voice. Carmine really shines when he performs -- either with the girls in a Shotz Brewery talent show or while singing at the Pizza Bowl.
