00:00Still here. I got nowhere else to go. Welcome everybody to part two of the
00:06Everybody Loves Raymond 30th anniversary reunion special. Some of you may be
00:11wondering why? Why part two? Money? No. No. No. We're not getting money. We got stuff
00:20you haven't seen. Stuff from behind the scenes. We got stuff we did at the
00:24reunion that we wanted to put in but didn't have enough time. And this is it.
00:28There's not gonna be a part three because I don't have another jacket. I'm gonna be
00:31honest with you. This is it. What if they didn't see part one? Oh you mean my family?
00:37No of course. Everybody saw part one but in case you didn't I've always wanted to
00:42say this. Previously on part one. A little deeper. A little serious. Really? Previously.
00:51Previously. Previously. You do it. Previously on part one. Ray was somebody who
00:58wanted in your home. You wanted to be part of that family.
01:01I love you. I love you. Thank you. Please welcome Phil Rosenthal.
01:09I wrote one new joke. My twins were born here. Hi. And what I didn't know about Ray's family,
01:18I filled in with the personalities from my family.
01:21We can't go out and get our own fruit. I'm trying to tell them. Ladies and gentlemen,
01:26Patricia Heaton. Frank Garrett everybody. Here's Monica.
01:34Madeline and Sullivan Sweetin, are you here? During that first audition. I kissed him. I know when she
01:44walked out. I go, that's the one. You know what? Who hyperventilates saying the line?
01:55Everything you saw Peter do, my father did in real life without pants on. To Doris and Peter.
02:05You have this amazing iconic dance. I wanted to ask if we can recreate it right now and boogie down a little.
02:10All right. All right. All right.
02:18What you don't see are all the people that really made the show with us.
02:25Thanks for the good life. Thank you, everybody.
02:30Thank you, everybody.
02:30So that was great. That was fun. And you know, off the top of my head, one thing they didn't see
02:39was the first time that you and I actually walked out onto the set.
02:43Right. It was right before we started the taping. And there was a curtain in front of the set,
02:47so the audience couldn't see it yet. But they let Ray and I come out and take a look.
02:51And for the first time, we're seeing this set that, you know. We lived on. Nine years on. Yeah.
02:58It's been 20 years.
03:04Wow. Wow. Down to the turkey.
03:07I mean, like no time has passed. Beautiful.
03:18What have we done?
03:21You know, it was emotional. I got emotional.
03:23Yeah, I know you did, too. I didn't you didn't see me cry, but
03:27because, you know, I have an image. I'm going to be a Marvel hero.
03:30I hope. Great job. Yeah. Yeah. How are you?
03:35Thank you. Really good. Really good.
03:36Thank you. How are you? How are you?
03:38Great job. Oh, my goodness.
03:42This is where I got, this is where I got pushed up against.
03:44Yes. Yes.
03:45Yeah. No kidding. Listen, if I had PMS, and I'm not saying that I have,
03:49is that how you help me? By taping me? By telling me I have PMS?
03:53That doesn't help me. That doesn't help me.
03:56Well, what do you want me to do? I don't know what to do.
03:59Show me what to do. Just draw it out for me.
04:01Have you ever thought about giving me a hug?
04:03A hug? Beautiful. All right.
04:06This is amazing. I still smell Ray. This is not a bather.
04:14You look gorgeous. It's a lighting.
04:16You look gorgeous. Look how I look here.
04:17Oh, it's a little different. Is it this better?
04:22This is incredible. Wow. I am like for glanced from all this.
04:25This is very nice. It's such a different vibe
04:28without Ray and Phil. You know, it's like it feels free.
04:32It feels like we could try things.
04:35What is Ray stuck under his wallet? Where?
04:38Where is he? I can't believe this.
04:40Hey, man. Good to see you.
04:42It's been a while. Yeah, it has.
04:44I thought you would grow. Remember, you asked me, will I grow, Brad? I said, of course you will.
04:51Funniest guy in the world, in my opinion, Brad Garrett, at my expense.
04:56Yeah, I would agree with that. By the way, I love it. I love it.
04:59The guy that he hugs, they live together now. Well, the truth is, he's never seen that guy before.
05:05That's his go-to, no matter who he sees. I know we talked about how the show started,
05:10but we didn't talk about how the title came about.
05:14Here's how that happened.
05:15To my chagrin. The title, Everybody Loves Raymond, is based on my real-life brother
05:21doing exactly what Brad does in the pilot. He sees an award that I get, and he goes...
05:28When did he get this?
05:30Oh, that's an award your brother got for his sports column.
05:34Never ends for Raymond.
05:35Oh, poor Robbie.
05:38Everybody loves Raymond.
05:39You used it as a working title, but you promised me we could change it when the time came.
05:48And when the time came, the network fell in love with the title, and here we are.
05:52Do you remember?
05:53We already had the cups made, so we had to do it.
05:57Before the pilot reached the network schedule, I get a call from Ray.
06:02And Ray said, can you help me out with something?
06:06And this says more about me than about anybody else in this story.
06:11Of course I can help you. What do you need? I really thought I'm the guy. I can help. I can solve problems.
06:18What's the issue?
06:21The title of the show. What's the matter with the title of the show?
06:25It makes me self-conscious. What if the show fails?
06:28Then everybody in print is going to say, not everybody loves Raymond.
06:33And I thought, you know what? You're exactly right. I know Les Moonves personally.
06:40He loves the project. He loves you. He loves me.
06:43Now, the last part's not true, but I did know him.
06:47So I called Les Moonves. Hi, Les. How's it going?
06:50Listen, I just talked to Ray Romano. Yeah, fantastic. We love the show. You love the show.
06:55Everybody loves the show. Here's the problem. Ray would like to change the title.
07:00Les Moonves without missing a beat said, absolutely not. And I said, okay, great.
07:04Nice talking with you, Les. I had to call Ray back. Hey, yeah, Ray, get used to it.
07:10It's not going to be anything, but everybody loves Raymond.
07:14The one thing he asked for and I couldn't accomplish. I'm so sorry, Ray. I hate the name too.
07:20It's not too late, Dave. Come on. It's too late.
07:26That Raymond guy. That Raymond guy. We don't need love in it.
07:31We'll be right back with a lot more stuff, more of the cast on the set, more classic clips.
07:37We're going to see a lot of our guest cast that we love.
07:39Outtakes. Outtakes.
07:41Yeah. Everybody loves the outtakes.
07:44That's the title.
07:45No.
07:46No.
07:50Oh, my.
07:59I knew one day this would happen.
08:03The cast was extraordinary.
08:05Everyone was gently and carefully chosen.
08:08This is my notebook from the pilot of Everybody Loves Raymond. April 9th, 1996. This was the day
08:14Patty finally came in and she read with Ray and I wrote bingo.
08:20I just want to say this one thing and we won't have to discuss it anymore.
08:24You're not blowing this for me, pal.
08:26So you got to just be as creative as you possibly could because you knew you had these
08:30home run hitters making it great.
08:32To me, it was like all in the family. It was the same kind of brilliant acting and brilliant timing.
08:42I mean, everyone seemed so in tune to each other.
08:47Get your hand out of my pants!
08:49You'd see it for the first time at the table read, which is pure joy.
08:53You're like, here's what we wrote and then you watch it come alive and you're like,
08:57Oh my God, what Brad Garrett just added to this? Did not see that coming.
09:06Well, Brad, I used to call him the human blow.
09:10You know, the blow to the scene is the final scene and the scene is supposed to get a laugh.
09:14And you could put anything in Brad's mouth. You just have Brad say a word.
09:19Pretzel?
09:20Laugh. Get a big laugh.
09:24Okay, this is Doris and Brad and this is March 18th.
09:28Doris was on my original list and I had tried to get her in the door from day one, but I could
09:33not get her in the room. And finally, when she did come, she stopped me at the door and she grabbed
09:39my wrist. Then she said, listen to me, if I don't get this role, I'm tearing up my SAG card.
09:46And I said, okay, well, that's a lot of pressure, but she was right. I mean,
09:50she knew she was right for it. We knew she was right for it. And that was that.
09:54Okay. Go golfing. Have a good time.
10:01To write for such sure-footed actors is just a privilege.
10:08The wife in a sitcom is very, very important. You want to find someone who's sweet and tough and
10:13vulnerable and good looking and so many things. People always think the show revolved around
10:21Raymond, but I think in reality it revolved around Patty. She's kind of the voice of reason in the
10:27world. And you're almost seeing the show through her eyes. Yes. Right? Yes. Yes.
10:32I have to do everything around this house. If I don't do it, it doesn't get done.
10:36Well, that's because now take it easy. That's how it's supposed to be.
10:50That's how it's supposed to be. I said, take it easy.
10:56Okay. Now let me tell you something. If I'm the one that has to do the laundry,
11:01why should I be the one to drag that thing upstairs, huh? Isn't the man supposed to carry stuff?
11:05Isn't that the man-y thing to do?
11:10Isn't that how that's supposed to be?
11:14Obviously you spend a lot more time thinking about this than I have.
11:18The show is so evergreen because from generation to generation, new young married people are watching
11:25it and completely relating to it. And it doesn't feel dated because it's this eternal thing that
11:32everybody is dealing with. And I think the reason the show is so internationally renowned because
11:38I was just doing some charity work in Uganda. Wow.
11:44And a Ugandan fellow and I were driving along and he started telling me how bummed he was because that
11:50weekend he had to go to a wedding from someone that his wife worked with. And he didn't know
11:55anybody there and he really didn't want to go. And I said, even in Uganda, marriage is exactly the same.
12:02Right, right. You travel a lot.
12:06In real life, Ray's older brother is shorter than him.
12:10Yes.
12:10And I thought, oh, how great. One of the reasons he's jealous is that he's shorter than his younger
12:17brother. So we were only looking for short people.
12:21I was in New York during that casting and I got a phone call from one of the producers
12:27and they said, we, we found the brother. We found Brad Garrett. And I was a comic.
12:31So I had to kiss you, but Brad didn't.
12:33Yeah.
12:34Oh, he did.
12:35Oh, he did.
12:36But you're better. You're a better kisser.
12:40They told me Brad Garrett. All I remember from Brad Garrett was he had won the first season of Star Search.
12:46It's kind of neat when you're tall. I've always been very large. As a matter of fact,
12:49my mom is still in traction from the birth. I'm talking to big kid. The doctor had to deliver me
12:55like this. It was, all right, bring him back now.
13:02I remember because of the comic, I'm watching this six foot eight guy and he's telling me,
13:07yeah, we found your brother. And I'm like, you found two of them. You found two of my brothers.
13:11And we were, I was like, how is that going to work? And this is one of the beauties of
13:19how you got to get lucky in this. We didn't really write that guy. What he brought to it
13:24Yeah.
13:25Was his own thing. You know, you're saying that I don't love my mother.
13:29Not as much as me.
13:33You take her for granted. But me, I cherish every ounce of affection that woman gives me because
13:40I have to fight for it like a dirty dog in the street.
13:43But you, you don't even have to try. She makes it so easy for you.
13:55You're just a fat kid sitting with his mouth open at the end of a chocolate assembly line.
14:04You know, we see them periodically, but we don't see everybody together.
14:08Yeah. That was what was cool about the whole thing. And I loved when we all got to sit around
14:12the kitchen table on the set and go through our favorite moments. Yeah.
14:16There are a lot of them. So when we come back, here's some more.
14:23How about we go upstairs and enjoy the rest of today?
14:28Okay.
14:28Well, the wallpaper show, I said, you know, the neighbor across the street from us used to
14:36routinely back his car out of his driveway and smash into my parents' cars. And I said,
14:41yeah, so maybe we could do that where, uh, Frank and Marie back into the car and Phil goes,
14:44no, no, this is the Barones.
14:48You hear that?
14:53In true Raymond fashion, the biggest laughs did not come from any joke. It was the faces of Doris and
14:58Peter getting out of the car.
15:13At that time, it sort of encapsulated everything that the series was about, how intrusive the parents
15:18had become. So I thought the show was sort of at its best, uh, in the, in that moment.
15:23Oh, and Deborah, I've run out of things to put them in. So I came to get the canister.
15:27What canister?
15:28My canister with the blue horses around the edge.
15:30Oh yeah. I brought that back.
15:32Really?
15:33Yeah.
15:33The canister, it was written by a friend of mine named David Riegel. And he wanted to run some
15:37Raymond ideas about me just to do a spec script. The first one he tells me about is this dispute in
15:42his family between a mother and a daughter-in-law about a cookie canister that the mother-in-law claimed
15:47had never been returned. And I immediately said, forget your spec script. I think we could do this.
15:53Oh, I'm sorry, Deborah.
15:58I mean, now she sees she's not always right.
16:01Is this what grandma was looking for?
16:02It was a great episode because it was a good Deborah episode.
16:08I got an apology. Okay. Do you have any idea what that means? She apologized to me.
16:14Patty had to play three things at once. She had to play a surprise that Marie took the fall
16:21and then gratitude and then convince everybody that she's mad at Marie, even though she's actually
16:26really grateful that Marie led her off the hook at that moment. Happy Easter, Raymond.
16:33The fun of that, the whole second act is this farce about the canister.
16:37Raymond, happy Easter.
16:41Yeah.
16:42Please, Frank, don't say anything. If she finds out I had this thing.
16:45You're in big trouble, lady.
16:47And that episode won her her second Emmy.
16:50It was just one little problem.
16:52What?
16:53It's really not a problem. She didn't even use the word problem. It's just a minor,
16:56minor, minor thing.
16:57All right. What? What? What is it?
16:59She thinks I'm you.
17:03There was a Steve Scrovan episode called Ray Bird.
17:06She just assumes that I'm Ray Barone from New York Newsday.
17:10Yeah.
17:12Robert is mistaken for Ray when he meets a woman in a bar and they have an encounter. And Ray at one
17:18point says, wait a minute, but if she's a fan of mine, she must know I'm married.
17:22If she knows my writing, then she must know I have a wife.
17:25Had. Had a wife.
17:28You killed Deborah?
17:29Had to be done.
17:30This woman shows up at the door. And the reason I love this with joy is here's a wife and here's a
17:40girl that is cheating on his wife. And you're like, this is going to explode.
17:44Wait, how do you know Ray? We met at a bar.
17:50Ray and I are kind of dating.
17:57Is there a problem?
18:00No, there's no problem. I'm just surprised that my husband has time to date.
18:06You know, and it's like, wow, what an opposite reaction that you're expecting.
18:14I come to fix sprinkler.
18:27Isn't it great to see the writers? You know, we usually keep them in a hole.
18:31So it's nice to see them. We throw food in.
18:33The happiest place on earth was that writer's room.
18:36As a comedian, you don't laugh out loud yourself a lot.
18:38I've never laughed more than in that room with you guys.
18:41Me too.
18:41Yeah, it was a magic place. And you know, the magic place on stage was around the kitchen table,
18:47which is why it was great when we all sat around there talking about
18:51our memories and our favorite moments. We got more of that, I'm sure.
18:55Give a look.
18:56All right, let's do a fast, like, what do they call it? A lightning round.
19:00Favorite scenes or moments?
19:02No fat with the tofu turkey.
19:04We are all eating some.
19:10Swallow it.
19:22Go ahead, Robert.
19:36Actually, I think it's very tasty.
19:58You just have to make an adjustment.
20:00Right, Deborah?
20:05Kind of starts out with an aftertaste, doesn't it?
20:13Madeline, do you have one?
20:14Yeah, I think my favorite is another Peter one that he was so incredible to work with.
20:20But my favorite was, um, Grandpa Steele's.
20:33Okay, uh, so, Ali, uh, what did the Mexican fire chief name his two sons?
20:50Jose and Jose B.
20:52Hey, listen.
21:08Okay, I believe it.
21:09Oh.
21:10Isn't that so funny?
21:13When we got, uh, stuck inside, when it was, the electricity went out, I got to dance with Peter.
21:19Oh.
21:30Don't worry about a thing, Amy, you're in good hands.
21:32This is wonderful, Frank.
21:34Okay, okay, it's my turn again.
21:37Please, Marie, she's waited her whole life for this.
21:41Another great one was, I loved, uh, when Deborah was giving birth,
21:46and we were in the, uh, in the cop car.
22:07All right, I'm gonna need something to wrap the baby in, Raymond, give me your shirt.
22:10What? No, no, no, no, no.
22:11Punch him and take that shirt, Robert.
22:12All right, all right, all right.
22:15Man, this is not right.
22:16This is against God.
22:18Now, shall not look at thy brother's wife there.
22:21I don't think I'm seeing what I'm supposed to be seeing.
22:24What else are you supposed to see?
22:26A head.
22:27You know, maybe it's not hurting so much anymore.
22:40Well, you stop looking, then. Stop looking.
22:41I have a quick one.
22:58Phil and I, both our fathers have made little appearances on the show.
23:04Neither one of them is an actor.
23:06We're doing your bachelor party.
23:07Oh, my God.
23:08And I, we go to the Elks Lodge or whatever it is, and they're the guys that run the Elks Lodge,
23:12and I tell them to get a banner that says,
23:14Congratulations, Robert.
23:17And they mess it up, and they have, like, two lines each,
23:20and they, they crush it on these two lines with no inflection at all.
23:26Hey, hey, hey.
23:29What the hell is this?
23:32What's the banner you ordered?
23:34Supposed to say, Congratulations, Robert.
23:37I think on the phone, you said Woody.
23:45No, no.
23:46Robert, congratulations, Robert.
23:49I can't use this.
23:50Well, we got some balloons, but we can't blow them up.
24:01One of the joys of my life is having our dads on the show.
24:04Max and Albert.
24:05They live on, on, on television.
24:14If you like that, you know, every episode is streaming on Paramount Plus.
24:17You can see it uncut without commercials.
24:19Oh, I got to get a TV.
24:23Yeah.
24:23My wife has strict rules.
24:25Hey, but seriously, though, uh, one of my favorite things was the Q&A with the audience,
24:30and we had a bunch of that.
24:32This is great, because we can show more of it.
24:34When we come back.
24:35Yeah.
24:39My question is, was anyone hurt in any scene with, uh, physical comedy?
24:43Yes.
24:44This young man.
24:45I think all of us might have been hurt a little bit.
24:47No, but you actually stopped tape.
24:49Yeah, we, we did a scene where we, I went to your apartment.
24:52You were a young, I mean, you were a single man then.
24:55And I was like, wanted to hang out with you because there's all these single women.
25:00I go, what do you got here?
25:01Look at you got cheese and crackers.
25:02And I cut the cheese and I cut my finger and I had to go get stitches.
25:07And the audience stuck around.
25:10And I came back like an hour later.
25:12And they had recast you.
25:15No, I remember telling you, I did a stupid joke.
25:17I go, well, thank you for sticking around.
25:19I'll let you know what happened.
25:20I went there, they sewed it up and they took a testicle. I don't know what the, but, and then
25:28we got a big laugh because then we did the scene again.
25:31And I start and I go, oh, you got some cheese here?
25:33I go, I don't want any cheese like that.
25:34Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:37I got hurt one time actually running, running down the stairs.
25:40I told you not to run.
25:43I ran down the stairs.
25:44I hit my head on the coffee table, but they were, yeah, but they were panning over to the kitchen.
25:50So I held the cry in until they yelled cut.
25:54And then, and then, you know, my mom tells me that story.
25:59I don't remember it.
26:00And that's why Madeline owns the entire show.
26:05Hi, um, my question was, um, do you guys have any like pre or post rituals from your show?
26:13Just the sacrifices.
26:14But Marie made, uh, she made soup a lot, Doris.
26:20She made soup in her, uh, dressing room, wouldn't she?
26:24She'd make like these big pots of soup.
26:25Yeah.
26:26And we would always do a speed through before taping where we would just sit together in a,
26:31on a couches and chairs.
26:32And we'd just say our lines really, really quickly.
26:34And they're usually in the makeup room.
26:36In the makeup chairs while we're getting touched up.
26:38And then afterwards, we all went over to, what was the bar?
26:41Columbia Bar and Grill.
26:42That's it.
26:43That's it.
26:43Columbia Bar and Grill.
26:45Sunset and Gower.
26:46Yes.
26:46Yeah.
26:46With all the laugh out loud moments from the show, I'm just wondering if there are scenes
26:50you can remember that it was hardest for you not to break character.
26:54Who would break?
26:55Uh, I had one where you can see me laugh.
26:57You can see it on the cable.
26:58We were just talking about it.
26:59It was the funeral.
27:01We were at the funeral for the neighbor who died.
27:03Yes.
27:03And if you look up stage, you can see me standing with Robert at the funeral,
27:09next to the casket and pretending I'm crying, but I'm laughing.
27:12And you can tell because he was being funny.
27:15Yeah.
27:16There's no one in there.
27:19Anything you said.
27:20I was dying.
27:21Hi.
27:22My question's for Patricia and Ray.
27:25Uh, Patricia, when you were coming down the stairs, I saw you look at the luggage.
27:29I recently got married and this is a constant battle in my household as well.
27:34So for your TV marriage and my real marriage, can you guys finally resolve this and one
27:40of you move the luggage?
27:42Now?
27:43Right now.
27:45I can have my assistant move it.
27:54I don't have an assistant.
27:56No, you made me move it.
27:57I'm not that guy.
27:58I keep it real.
27:59Real with me.
28:01You know, one of the things that people said after the part one was,
28:05where was the guest cast?
28:06Where was Stefania?
28:07Where's Gianni?
28:08Well, when we come back, we'll find out.
28:15Yes?
28:15Hey, got your futon delivery.
28:17Robert, have you met Amy's brother, Peter?
28:19Never had the pleasure.
28:22We need a new captain.
28:23Who wants the job?
28:24Hey, I do.
28:26That ain't funny.
28:27And you don't talk when we on the radio.
28:29Not sit back.
28:30Step on, yeah.
28:32Got to learn how to chill out a little.
28:34What's with this guy?
28:35He's my father.
28:36People are always wondering, how did you get on the show?
28:42Well, I am an actor.
28:43No, no, no, no, no, no.
28:44You.
28:44I'm talking about you.
28:46You, Andy Kindler.
28:46The guy goes, hey.
28:48Hey, what do you got going in there?
28:54I remember the moment I got the gig.
28:56I just quit my job two weeks prior as a legal secretary.
28:59And I was like, this is it.
29:00Sink or swim.
29:01And I got the audition and I didn't have a car because they repossessed my car.
29:05So I had to take the bus all the way to Colfax Studio for the audition.
29:08And my agent told me that the role was for Queen Latifah.
29:13Give me the usual.
29:14I'm going to the ladies room.
29:15I said, Lord, like, I don't want her legs broken, but let her book something else because I need this job.
29:20Why are we taking a break?
29:22What are we taking a break from?
29:25How about a break from your mouth?
29:27I walked in and I saw Ray Romano and he smiled at me and I thought that was a really good sign.
29:33She seems nice.
29:35Well, Ray and I met in the 80s doing stand-up.
29:38I had just moved out here and I got a phone call.
29:42It was Ray.
29:43I got a cabled guy.
29:48And he was like almost afraid to ask me to, you know what I mean?
29:51It's like, you think you would want, I said, Ray, are you kidding me?
29:54Of course I would do it, you know?
29:56You're the futon guy.
29:59You're the assistant futon guy.
30:01I've seen Stefania.
30:02She's nothing.
30:03You are beautiful.
30:05Yeah.
30:12I was so nervous to go in and audition for Ray.
30:16They'd already won everything in the world.
30:19It was already a top show.
30:21Brad was making me laugh constantly.
30:23So my audition was terrible.
30:28They called two weeks later.
30:29Guess what?
30:30You got it.
30:30You're going to Italy.
30:31They couldn't find the Italian girl that they wanted in Italy.
30:34The frowny, frowny face.
30:35He's always, I don't like, I don't want, I don't think.
30:40It is annoying.
30:46I want to be able to call you guys, both of you, brother man.
30:52They embraced me with open arms, but I was a little nervous about joining.
30:59These are just amazing actors with amazing timing putting on a one-act play.
31:05I didn't think I would be able to, you know, handle that because I don't consider myself an actor.
31:09And if you've seen my work, I think you'd agree.
31:12Now, if you'll excuse me, Miss Puss and I have some cocoa on the stove.
31:19My favorite moment being on Everybody Loves Raymond was going to the club with Brad Garrett.
31:25Being at a club with all of these black people in the club and him having to dance.
31:29That was the one time he got to do the robot.
31:31He did it so well.
31:33They wrote me really, really wonderful lines.
31:35What? What does he say?
31:36Sit back! I'm not going to tell you again!
31:40You just lost your tip.
31:43And then I got to kiss Christine Cavanaugh.
31:46I never kissed my wife because we feel like it's just too much aggravation.
31:51When Ray and Deborah meet.
31:53What are you doing?
31:54Nothing. Hey, how are you?
31:57He's hitting on her and flopping terribly, right?
32:02So maybe I'll see you there sometime.
32:04Where?
32:05China Star.
32:05Oh, well, yeah.
32:06I'll probably be there for lunch tomorrow.
32:09Actually, I just said Chinese today.
32:13And my line was just, um, as I'm walking away, I turn away and, you know, my line was,
32:18oh my God.
32:21And it just got the biggest laugh.
32:24Things like that, I mean, they just make you feel so good.
32:27I told you I was going to be a writer, right?
32:29Yeah.
32:29Yeah.
32:29Yeah, what a way with words.
32:35Literally, I will be at the airport and somebody will go, Sergeant Judy.
32:39And I turn around like, did somebody call my name?
32:42Every time I would go back to New York, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny.
32:47Hey, what's the matter? You can't put a stove in, you know?
32:50For my parents, it was huge. My parents started getting free food everywhere because they were
32:59Stefania's parents.
32:59When I would go back to JFK International Airport, I was a hero during the show.
33:05All I had to do was stand on a revolving platform and sold DVDs.
33:10Really, really proud to be part of this show. It's television history.
33:14Okay, so a little fun fact is John Manfrillotti and I met doing stand-up at the Improv in New York
33:2035 years ago.
33:21Wow. And he still talks to you?
33:24Once in a while when he needs money.
33:26When we come back, everybody loves outtakes.
33:30See, that's the title.
33:31Better title.
33:31You're right.
33:36I am going to give you the secret to marital bliss.
33:39After you give it to him, why don't you let me in on it?
33:42We knew we had something special. We also knew we were lucky as hell.
33:49There is that lightning in a bottle feel with great shows.
33:52Will you stop your killing Christmas?
33:56And by the way, sometimes the noodles in your lasagna are overcooked.
34:01Everyone who knows Raymond has stood the test of time and will stay in the test of time because
34:07these situations are so relatable still.
34:10Ow! Ow!
34:11All right.
34:11Great, it's caught in my hair.
34:12Oh, easy. Well, don't call. What are you calling out?
34:15No, no, no, no, no, no.
34:16Love is enough of everybody.
34:17It's just what families are. A universal family life.
34:22It's fine with me if you're gay, dear.
34:24Everyone's mother is slightly overbearing and everyone's mother meddles and everyone's mother
34:31asks an uncomfortable question.
34:33You love him. You hate him. He disgusts you. Look how he eats.
34:38I think the show works today because it actually comes from the heart.
34:41How do you get along with your spouse? How do you get along with your in-laws?
34:44You know, what do you do with sibling rivalry?
34:46These are problems that aren't going away.
34:48Oh, no.
34:50And so it's just resolving all these issues within this prison of family.
34:55Oh, I think it's worked out very well.
34:59That's so different from who you really are.
35:02Caring for each other, teaching each other, loving each other, being mad at each other.
35:07That doesn't change.
35:09Gobble, gobble, gobble.
35:10Gobble, gobble, gobble.
35:11Yeah.
35:16All right, here's one of our favorite things.
35:17Tell the people how we would do these second takes on Truth Night.
35:21About an hour before we shot, I would go to my dressing room
35:24with about two other writers, and we would look at anything that was interchangeable,
35:29a punchline that we could put a new line in or a new action in without telling the cast.
35:34Right, and it didn't affect the story.
35:35Right.
35:35Staying alone.
35:36And it'd be new for the audience, because the audience is saying it three,
35:38four times, so it's something new.
35:40And so that was always fun.
35:41And then there were outtakes.
35:42Outtakes are different from second takes.
35:44Outtakes just happen on the cuff.
35:46Usually mistake.
35:47Or Brad likes to insult me, that kind of thing.
35:51Those were fun.
35:52And deserved.
35:54I hope she's not there tonight, really.
35:57She was such a nice girl.
35:59I was such an idiot.
36:07That's your line, Emmy winner.
36:09Could it not be Gail?
36:17Because I have a superior named Gail.
36:19Look, all right.
36:20She's a big...
36:28Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
36:30What's the matter, Ray?
36:31I'm in too many scenes.
36:32I'm in too many scenes.
36:42Oh, this is wonderful.
36:44Oh, I love this.
36:45Okay.
36:46Here we go.
36:49Is it?
36:52What, Ray?
36:52Nothing.
36:58Only good thing in this room, my penis is going to look huge.
37:00I'm trying to read him a book once in a while.
37:17Oh, read.
37:18And that's your answer for everything, right?
37:19Do you even know how to read, Ray?
37:20Oh, I read.
37:21I dance.
37:21I'm pretty.
37:22All right, all right, all right.
37:24Here, save your marriage.
37:27Emmy's brother, Russell.
37:28He owns a comic book shop.
37:29He's got cards there.
37:31Russell's Comic Vintage...
37:34Russell's Vintage Comics?
37:35You should read more.
37:46Come on, you know what she's lying.
37:48Come on, tell her.
37:49I want you to tell her.
37:50It's time to rise up.
37:52Cast off ye shackles.
37:56We're getting a lot of spit on us over here, Ray.
38:05Is that you crying in there?
38:10It's all right, Robbie.
38:12You're never too big to cry.
38:13But you are too big for my underwear.
38:29It's all right, Robbie.
38:31You're never too big to cry.
38:33That could be the title to your book.
38:43Oh, Frank.
38:44It's all right, Robbie.
38:46You're never too big to cry.
38:48But the bedwetting's got to stop.
38:58It's all right, Robbie.
38:59You're never too big to cry.
39:11Hey, how's it going?
39:13All right.
39:18Can I just get you to sign for this?
39:29I'm going to need that pen back.
39:37Thanks a lot.
39:37All right.
39:38Have a nice day.
39:38All right.
39:43What'd you get?
39:52Hmm.
39:52That's scumbag.
40:04What's that scumbag?
40:25And, ask your breath.
40:26What's that?
40:26That prick.
40:27That prick.
40:48I'm going to talk to you, man.
40:48I'm going to talk to you, man.
40:50Okay.
40:59That.
41:07Hey, uh, you know what?
41:09Why don't you guys go without me?
41:10Because I'm really not feeling good here.
41:12Okay.
41:13Well, come on, Debra.
41:13Let's go.
41:14Okay.
41:18What's the matter, Ray?
41:18You have like a sore throat or something?
41:19I got it.
41:20It's probably...
41:20Get in the car.
41:26What's the matter, Ray?
41:27Do you feel like you have a sore throat or something?
41:29I think it might be in my throat.
41:30You have a sore throat.
41:31Get in the car.
41:32Yeah.
41:33Robert!
41:33Robert!
41:34Robert!
41:39Well, you know, I was a little skeptical.
41:42Do we need a part two?
41:43And I think we did need it.
41:44We did.
41:45Because that was fun to see all that.
41:46It was very nice.
41:46We might need a part three.
41:48Don't get greedy, Raymond.
41:49Just show us putting makeup on.
41:54But anyway, what else we want to say?
41:56Paramount Plus, you can watch them all.
41:57Watch them all without commercials.
41:59All the shows.
42:00And we want to say happy holidays to the people, right?
42:02Yes.
42:02Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, happy Kwanzaa, whatever you like.
42:05Happy New Year, happy everything.
42:06Yes.
42:07Although when they rerun this, that's going to look stupid.
42:09You're going to look stupid for saying that.
42:11Maybe you look stupid for saying that.
42:12No, it's going to be March, and you're saying happy holidays.
42:14You can still.
42:15People like holidays.
42:16There's still holidays all year round.
42:17I'm hungry.
