I think the PP's point was no one in the NY area would ever say "in LI". And since Ray Romano is from here he should know that.
I'm not the PP but I agree.
TMZ has a habit of saying it as well. "We caught so and so in Long Island over the weekend." It should be "on Long Island Or in the Hamptons".
I guess the opposite is true of "the city", aka Manhattan.
we go to the city.
my husband works in the city.
You would not say "on the city or on Manhattan".
