00:00:00There's no sell-by date on that sort of thing.
00:00:03What they wrote was timeless because it was authentic.
00:00:07It's the kind of show I wish was on the air right now.
00:00:12Whenever you find it on TV, it makes me stop.
00:00:15And every joke is still just as funny.
00:00:17And this murderer's row of a cast.
00:00:20Ray, what's somebody you wanted in your home?
00:00:22You wanted to be part of that family.
00:00:26I believe in 20, 30, 40, 50 more years.
00:00:30We'll still love Everybody Loves Raymond.
00:00:31The writing and the acting, directing, that was near perfect, my God.
00:00:35And it's in color.
00:01:16Don't make me cry yet.
00:01:45There's going to be a lot of that.
00:01:47Let me just tell you something.
00:01:48The reason we're doing this is because of the fans.
00:01:51I mean, I miss it.
00:01:53I miss everything.
00:01:53I miss you people.
00:01:55I miss the cast.
00:01:57My real wife is backstage with my TV wife.
00:02:00Yes.
00:02:01If you've been married for a long time, folks, you know, there's a lot of ups and downs.
00:02:05And this is an example of how long we've been married.
00:02:08The other day, she actually said to me, you know, you don't talk a lot.
00:02:14But when you do, it's too much.
00:02:16We're going to have a great night.
00:02:21I'm so glad you're here.
00:02:22Who came from, like, far away?
00:02:24Who's from the...
00:02:24Where are you from?
00:02:25Philippines.
00:02:26I watched you when I was, like, seven or eight.
00:02:28In the Philippines?
00:02:29Yes.
00:02:30But, of course, dubbed in...
00:02:31No.
00:02:32I learned English from...
00:02:33You learned English from me.
00:02:39Well, I appreciate it.
00:02:44But thank you very much.
00:02:46Listen, before we go even further, I want to bring out a man who's been my partner in this
00:02:51venture, in this journey for the last 30 years.
00:02:55He's the reason that this show exists.
00:02:58But this was his baby just like it was mine.
00:03:01Please welcome Phil Rosenthal.
00:03:03How great is this?
00:03:19This is amazing.
00:03:20You learned how to speak English from Ray Romano?
00:03:23So were your first English words...
00:03:25Oh, no!
00:03:29First of all, let's get one thing out of the way.
00:03:31Yes.
00:03:31This, I'm sure you will know, is a reunion.
00:03:34This is a reunion that we...
00:03:36Not a reboot.
00:03:36We're never going to do one because we're missing three cast members, three family members,
00:03:42so we would never try to do the show without them.
00:03:44It wouldn't be the same.
00:03:45No.
00:03:45We have too much respect for the show itself and for the beautiful audience...
00:03:50Right.
00:03:50...to keep it the way it is.
00:03:51And thankfully, the show is still on every day all over the world, which...
00:03:57Right.
00:03:59If you want to visit your friends, we're here.
00:04:03How did we meet?
00:04:05Well, I was in bed.
00:04:07And I was watching David Letterman with my wife.
00:04:11This would have been 1995?
00:04:1395.
00:04:13We had a production company, and we were always looking for a funny project.
00:04:21And I think we were all pretty greedy when we saw Ray.
00:04:25Our ladies and gentlemen, next guest is a very funny comedian making his first appearance
00:04:30with us tonight.
00:04:31He can also be seen...
00:04:32Wow, I just look like a mid-level mortuary has gotten a hold of me.
00:04:36Do me a favor now, please, a nice welcome for Ray Romano.
00:04:39Ray!
00:04:42My first impression, he's wearing his father's suit.
00:04:46But that's fine.
00:04:47I'm going to let that go.
00:04:48I have a three-year-old daughter and twin two-year-old boys.
00:04:53Well.
00:04:57Single people are here.
00:05:01I can make them laugh.
00:05:02I can make an infant laugh in a second.
00:05:03I'll tell you, I'm losing my perspective on adult humor.
00:05:06I wrote one new joke since my twins were born.
00:05:09Here, is this funny?
00:05:10What do you think it is?
00:05:12Hi!
00:05:14Hi, everybody!
00:05:17That rings true with me.
00:05:18I had no idea how to be a parent, so I thought, if I can make the kid laugh, I've done something.
00:05:25I'm glad.
00:05:25I'm glad you laughed.
00:05:26If you didn't laugh at that, I would have had to come and rub my nose in your bellies.
00:05:31Ray is the guy, and let's go, and before he gets in the cab, let's get him to sign something.
00:05:39And I think it was a combination of its likability and the quality of the material.
00:05:44I thought, you know, pretty run-of-the-mill topics, but the quality of the jokes in those topics, I thought, were superior.
00:05:52It was just dumb luck that we had anything to do with it.
00:05:55It's like, you know, kids playing with fireworks.
00:05:59Oh, geez, it actually exploded.
00:06:01It was sort of like that.
00:06:09That's why we're here.
00:06:10A week later, they called me and said, we'd like to sign you to a deal to try to produce a sitcom.
00:06:20Right.
00:06:21And then I had to go find a guy to write it and run it.
00:06:27Did you?
00:06:28So they set us up on a blind date here in L.A. at Arts Deli on Ventura Boulevard, and we meet.
00:06:36And I say to Ray, you know, tell me about yourself, just like I would with any of you, if we were going to work together, but we didn't know each other.
00:06:43So tell me about yourself.
00:06:44And you said, well, I got twin boys and an older daughter, and my parents live close by in Queens.
00:06:50You got to do the voice?
00:06:51You got to do the little bit?
00:06:51A little bit.
00:06:52And then my older brother's a police sergeant.
00:06:56He lives with them.
00:06:57He's always touching every bite of food to his gym before he eats it, and he's kind of jealous of me.
00:07:01He saw my stand-up comedy award, and he said, never ends for Raymond.
00:07:05Everybody loves Raymond.
00:07:07And do you remember what I said?
00:07:09You said, well, I don't think there's anything there.
00:07:16Jokingly.
00:07:16I thought that was a very good place to start.
00:07:18And what I didn't know about the personalities in Ray's family, I filled in with the personalities from my family.
00:07:2690% of everything you saw on the show happened to me or to Ray or to one of the other writers.
00:07:34What are you doing?
00:07:36The show had premiered, and Ray said to his wife, Anna, my show just premiered in front of all these people.
00:07:44And she said, yeah, and I just cleaned plum off the ceiling from the kids.
00:07:50I think this show means everything to us.
00:07:53It got to capture our family, Ray's family, everybody who worked here, their families.
00:08:00It was just like a community, you know, we became a community.
00:08:03We all felt so safe here and welcomed.
00:08:05I remember my dad would, he'd come out right before the show, he'd greet the audience.
00:08:11He always would bring me up, say hello.
00:08:13He'd do the same joke with the audience about having twins.
00:08:16Like, here's Matt.
00:08:17I have another son.
00:08:19If he was here, it looked like this.
00:08:20And then I'd go behind him and stand on that side.
00:08:22There's one episode based on a real thing that I did, which is when I was in first grade.
00:08:27We all had to write books, you know, little picture books.
00:08:31My book was...
00:08:33The Angry Family.
00:08:38All the parents came in to read it, and, you know, they were all looking at my parents.
00:08:44Mommy was mad at the daddy.
00:08:49He got an episode out of it.
00:08:51Yeah, the Ray on the show is the Ray at home, and that is because at home, he does a lot
00:08:57of annoying things that drive me crazy.
00:09:00I think if I were to do an impression, it's just a little bit deeper, like, grunt, like,
00:09:05I don't know.
00:09:07People do the grunt, right?
00:09:08Oh, come on.
00:09:10My back is here.
00:09:11It's a little, oh, okay.
00:09:13Now it's even worse.
00:09:14Now it's even worse.
00:09:15Who brought the cookies here?
00:09:17Who brought the donuts?
00:09:18All right, I'm just going to eat one.
00:09:19Oh, my God.
00:09:20It's so good.
00:09:21Five minutes later.
00:09:23Oh, my stomach hurts.
00:09:24Allie, why'd you do that?
00:09:25Oh, damn, Matt.
00:09:27Oh, no.
00:09:28Yep, there it went again.
00:09:31I think one of the things that put it over the top, where CBS had to decide whether to
00:09:38put us on was something out of your actual life, which was...
00:09:42When I'm writing the pilot, I'm thinking, how do we convey exactly, in a short amount of
00:09:47time, how crazy Ray's parents are?
00:09:50And then this happened to me, where I sent my parents, I thought I was being nice, a gift
00:09:57of Fruit of the Month Club.
00:09:58Look, I appreciate the thought, Raymond, but please, don't ever send us any more food again, okay?
00:10:06Thanks.
00:10:06Thanks, though.
00:10:07Well, another box is coming next month.
00:10:10What?
00:10:11More pears?
00:10:12No.
00:10:13No, it's a different fruit every month.
00:10:16Every month?
00:10:17Yes, yes.
00:10:18That's why they call it Fruit of the Month Club.
00:10:20It's a club?
00:10:21Oh, my God, what do I have to do with all this fruit?
00:10:23Well, most people like it, Ma.
00:10:25You share it.
00:10:26Share it with all your friends.
00:10:27Which friends?
00:10:28I don't know.
00:10:29Lee and Stan.
00:10:30Lee and Stan buy their own fruit.
00:10:31Oh, why did you do this to me?
00:10:35Oh, my God.
00:10:36I can't talk.
00:10:37There's too much fruit in the house.
00:10:38Oh.
00:10:39What do you think we are, invalids?
00:10:42We can't go out and get our own fruit?
00:10:45I'm trying to tell them.
00:10:46Oh, right.
00:10:47I'm canceling the Fruit Club.
00:10:49Oh, good.
00:10:49Thank you, Raymond.
00:10:51And don't do that again.
00:10:53Like, we don't have enough problems.
00:11:01What I didn't realize and what I learned from doing that,
00:11:05from us doing that,
00:11:07oh, wait, your parents are all crazy, too.
00:11:10Yes.
00:11:11We get it all the time.
00:11:12People from all over parts of the world tell us,
00:11:15that's my mother, that's my father, that's my mother.
00:11:17We didn't know your mother.
00:11:18We were writing our mother.
00:11:19And we have so many favorite episodes,
00:11:21some of the ones we're going to talk about tonight.
00:11:23I have one that just came to mind,
00:11:25and it's good since we're starting.
00:11:27You know, we did a flashback episode
00:11:28at the end of every season,
00:11:30and this was my favorite
00:11:32because it's how they met,
00:11:34meaning Ray and Debra.
00:11:36You know, it looks like I made too much food here
00:11:38if you're, um, hungry.
00:11:41Oh.
00:11:42Yeah?
00:11:43Yeah, you want some?
00:11:45All right, yeah.
00:11:46Wrap it up.
00:11:46I'll eat it in the truck.
00:11:52Can I ask you something?
00:11:54Yeah, sure.
00:11:56Were you making all that food for someone
00:11:59and they didn't show up?
00:12:01They showed up.
00:12:05Hey, you want something to drink?
00:12:07Yeah, yeah.
00:12:07Well, let me get that.
00:12:08Okay, the glasses are right there.
00:12:09Okay.
00:12:10Ice?
00:12:11Yeah.
00:12:11That'd be great.
00:12:27I like the round cubes with the holes in them.
00:12:30Those are my favorite kind of cubes.
00:12:35Ah!
00:12:37Are you okay?
00:12:38Yeah, I'm fine.
00:12:39Ah.
00:12:40You all right?
00:12:41Yeah.
00:12:46You're a good kisser.
00:12:48All right, you're in shock.
00:12:54You're both so great in that
00:12:56and it's just so sweet to me
00:12:58in addition to being funny.
00:12:59The flashback episodes were always...
00:13:01So fun.
00:13:02...mine fun to do.
00:13:03Look, I like all the episodes,
00:13:04but of course there's some we like more than others.
00:13:06And I have like a top five
00:13:08and the one off the top of my head
00:13:10is called Talk to Your Daughter.
00:13:13So Talk to Your Daughter is about
00:13:15at some point having to have the talk
00:13:19with your child about the birds and the bees, you know?
00:13:23When a man and a woman love each other very much,
00:13:27they get married.
00:13:29And then sometimes they decide to make a baby.
00:13:34I know that the man and the woman have to do something,
00:13:36but why are we born?
00:13:38Why has God put us here?
00:13:58Why are we here, Daddy?
00:13:59Yeah, I heard you.
00:14:00I heard you.
00:14:03You don't want to talk about sex?
00:14:05What do you mean?
00:14:08Allie didn't want to talk about sex.
00:14:10She started asking questions about life.
00:14:12Why did God put us here?
00:14:13Crazy stuff like that.
00:14:16Wow.
00:14:17So what did you say?
00:14:17I told her we're here because heaven is crowded.
00:14:23You said heaven is crowded?
00:14:24I got ambushed!
00:14:26If you want to know what's in the Bible,
00:14:28why don't you talk to Father Hubley?
00:14:29Hey, that's right.
00:14:31You know what?
00:14:31It's his job to know these things.
00:14:33What, are you going to call him?
00:14:35Yeah.
00:14:35What are we putting the money in that basket for?
00:14:38Me and the family were just sitting around
00:14:40and we had a quick question for you.
00:14:43What is the meaning of life?
00:14:46So if you could get back to us as soon as possible,
00:14:49we'd appreciate it, all right?
00:14:56I'd hate to admit it, but I'm guilty of...
00:14:58What?
00:14:59I didn't have that talk with my kids.
00:15:01Now I have 19 grandchildren.
00:15:03All right, they don't want to hear two old guys talk.
00:15:07They don't?
00:15:08Should we bring out some people for you?
00:15:10Yes, yes.
00:15:13Let's do that.
00:15:15We'll do it right away.
00:15:16When I got married, I didn't just get a husband.
00:15:25I got a whole freak show that set up their tent right across the street.
00:15:29Oh, you were open and considerate and willing to look at your own faults.
00:15:34You made me sick.
00:15:36Ray.
00:15:37Ray.
00:15:37Ray?
00:15:38Ray!
00:15:38Hello, Raymond.
00:15:40I do not have a drinking problem, sir.
00:15:42What I have is a mother-in-law problem.
00:15:46Woo!
00:15:46No, no, no.
00:15:52We're going to counseling.
00:15:53No!
00:15:54You meant what I said here today.
00:15:55I love you!
00:15:56I'm pregnant!
00:15:57I am not the yeller.
00:15:58You are the reason for the yeller!
00:16:00I have no idea what I have to put up with.
00:16:02Ladies and gentlemen, Patricia Heaton.
00:16:11Eddie!
00:16:12Eddie!
00:16:30Look at these two.
00:16:32I'm so happy.
00:16:33Do you know, I didn't say this, we saw 200 women before we found Patty Heaton.
00:16:40200.
00:16:41And when she came in, she just knocked it out of the park.
00:16:45I mean, you can talk about what that day was like.
00:16:48Well, I was going through, and I think why the show worked,
00:16:52we were all going through what the Barone family was going through in our lives.
00:16:55We all had kids.
00:16:56We all were newly married.
00:16:57Yes.
00:16:58Yes, and I had a three-year-old and a one-year-old in my life.
00:17:02Right.
00:17:03I had a babysitting issue when I was coming to the audition.
00:17:06I needed to get back.
00:17:08I was cutting out coupons for 50 cents off two packs of Ballpark Franks.
00:17:13And so I needed the gig.
00:17:15And I got there, and there was a waiting room of at least eight women.
00:17:19And I thought, I'm never going to get back in time for the babysitter.
00:17:21And so I went in and sat there, and I just needed to get this audition done.
00:17:26And there was a guy sitting in the corner, and I thought, maybe he can get me some water
00:17:31while we're waiting for Ray to come.
00:17:33It was him.
00:17:34And I didn't really have to do research, and I didn't really have to do acting,
00:17:37because it was what we were all dealing with in our marriages.
00:17:40And so, fortunately, we got to monetize that.
00:17:43Yeah.
00:17:44Yes.
00:17:45You were living the role.
00:17:46You were living the role.
00:17:48You know, when I need to talk to Ray about, like, my feelings or our children,
00:17:52I know I have until the commercial's over.
00:17:54That gives me 30 seconds.
00:17:56And if there's a girl in the commercial, or a truck with big wheels, or, God forbid,
00:18:01a monkey, forget it.
00:18:03I think it was the first show I'd worked on.
00:18:05I'd worked for a while on TV that really encouraged us to bring in our stories from home.
00:18:09Phil in the writer's room only half-jokingly said,
00:18:12all right, we need two more stories.
00:18:13Anybody having a fight with their spouse?
00:18:15Phil's idea when he was running the show was,
00:18:18how can you write about real life if you can't live one?
00:18:21There's an episode of Raymond called The 10th Anniversary,
00:18:23where Ray and Debra put in the VHS tape of their wedding on their 10th anniversary.
00:18:30Oh.
00:18:32And discovered that he's taped over with a Super Bowl.
00:18:38I did that.
00:18:40But it was my first anniversary.
00:18:41We put in our VHS tape and discovered that I had taped over our wedding with an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond.
00:18:47Where did our wedding go?
00:18:55It's just like the stories seem authentic.
00:18:57And whether it's more exaggerated than maybe it would have happened in real life,
00:19:00like that kernel of truth, I think, comes through.
00:19:03Well, 10 years, that's enough.
00:19:04It was such a pleasure to write for both of you.
00:19:14And there was one other.
00:19:18There was...
00:19:18Phil's getting emotional.
00:19:20A little bit.
00:19:20Because it's a dream to wind up with people like this.
00:19:24If you're just a writer, you pray for someone to come along and give so much more beyond it and to make it real.
00:19:32My favorite thing about the cast was how they all committed to the most silly thing as if it was life and death.
00:19:43And that made it so alive and real and relatable.
00:19:48And the two of you had the most spectacular chemistry.
00:19:51And I always said that Patty Heaton's the best wife on television.
00:19:54Aww.
00:19:55Well, we're also...
00:19:58We're...
00:20:02I think we're forgetting one little key element that really sold me on you during that first audition.
00:20:09That's how desperate I was to get the job.
00:20:11Yeah.
00:20:11Well, they don't know what you're talking about.
00:20:12I kissed him.
00:20:13Yes.
00:20:14There was...
00:20:14There was a part where it says she kisses her husband.
00:20:19And every other actress just kind of mimed it.
00:20:22For some reason, she did it.
00:20:24Nobody else.
00:20:26And when she walked out, I go, that's the one!
00:20:30Patty, do you have a favorite episode?
00:20:33Yes.
00:20:34There was the one where we went away for a weekend and we put the suitcase on the landing.
00:20:41We put it there and neither of us would take it up and empty it.
00:20:46And we keep waiting for the other person to do it.
00:20:48What are you doing?
00:20:50What?
00:20:53Just packing a soda for the road.
00:20:55Problem?
00:20:57That's how you're getting on the airplane.
00:20:59Yeah.
00:20:59Yeah, I'm traveling light.
00:21:01I'm traveling loose.
00:21:04What are you, a hobo?
00:21:05Why don't you take the suitcase?
00:21:11You know what?
00:21:12I don't need it.
00:21:16Okay.
00:21:17You know what?
00:21:20Yeah, good.
00:21:25You know what?
00:21:26I'm getting it.
00:21:28What's that supposed to mean?
00:21:29It means, I'll get it.
00:21:33I'll be the one who got it.
00:21:36Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:21:40I will get it.
00:21:41Let the record show that I got it.
00:21:43You let go of this.
00:21:44You let go of it.
00:21:45You let go of it.
00:21:47Let go of it.
00:21:49Let go.
00:21:49Let go.
00:21:51Let go.
00:21:52No, you don't.
00:21:55No, you don't.
00:21:56Don't let a suitcase filled with cheese
00:22:06be your big fork and spoon.
00:22:14Oh, no.
00:22:19Oh, no.
00:22:20This is all your fault.
00:22:34When did we get those?
00:22:41That's one of my favorite lines ever in the show,
00:22:43because that, to me, is marriage,
00:22:45especially a long marriage.
00:22:46Yes, so many people, and this is really,
00:22:50I think, what's not important about comedy,
00:22:54but every month at least, if not every week,
00:22:57somebody either on social media or if I run into them
00:23:01says, your show was the one thing
00:23:04that our family could laugh together
00:23:06when my father was sick.
00:23:07And it was his favorite thing
00:23:08that's been going on for 30 years.
00:23:11And so, you know, it just feels like
00:23:13we're able to do that.
00:23:16That's beautiful.
00:23:19We needed to cast Ray's, uh, brother.
00:23:22Should we bring him out soon?
00:23:23Woo!
00:23:23Woo!
00:23:24Woo!
00:23:24Woo!
00:23:25Woo!

00:23:30Woo!
00:23:30Woo!
00:23:35Trouble in paradise?
00:23:36Why would you want to hear me complain about Ray?
00:23:38Woo!
00:23:38Woo!
00:23:39Woo!
00:23:40Woo!
00:23:40Woo!

00:23:46Woo! Woo!
00:23:46Hey, Robert!
00:23:47Woo!
00:23:49Everybody loves Raymond.
00:23:50Surprise!
00:23:50It's an iguana.
00:23:52Make it up!
00:23:57Here you go.
00:23:58There you go.
00:23:59It's all right.
00:24:00Beautiful.
00:24:01Wonderful.
00:24:01Who is the man?
00:24:02The lion.
00:24:04I need to say something.
00:24:06More!
00:24:07No wife, no children.
00:24:09Pathetic.
00:24:10Thanks for the kind words.
00:24:15Brad Garrett, everybody!
00:24:31I'll come around. I'll come around.
00:24:38Phillip.
00:24:39Oh, boy. It is so great to meet you.
00:24:54Do you have any memories of coming in and meeting Ray?
00:24:57I remember auditioning when I read who Robert was.
00:25:01I just felt I knew this guy, you know?
00:25:04I was the youngest of three brothers growing up,
00:25:07and they were, you know, much more popular,
00:25:11and they had a lot more going for them,
00:25:13and I kind of felt like the kid that grew up under the sink,
00:25:16you know?
00:25:17So when I read it, I kind of felt like I knew who Robert was.
00:25:22You know?
00:25:23Yes, Ray?
00:25:25How could you...
00:25:26You have to raise your hand. It's your show.
00:25:30How could you fit under the sink?
00:25:32Well...
00:25:35We would write lines, jokes,
00:25:38and sometimes we didn't need them.
00:25:40Why?
00:25:41Because when we would cut to a face...
00:25:43Yeah.
00:25:44...they already said it with their look.
00:25:46And it was better than anything we could write.
00:25:48And the king of this was Brad.
00:25:51Yes.
00:25:52That's very sweet.
00:25:53Just beautiful.
00:25:55Do you have any lovely stories you have from your days on the show?
00:25:58Not really.
00:25:59No?
00:26:01Many.
00:26:02You know what I think of a lot is the episode,
00:26:05She's the One, where the girl I was dating ate the fly.
00:26:09Oh, yes.
00:26:11And when you tried to tell me what you saw in the kitchen,
00:26:16that scene was so great, but there was a moment where you were...
00:26:20Yeah, I almost passed out.
00:26:22Tell me, you were screaming or you had some type of...
00:26:25Well, I saw her eat the fly.
00:26:26Yeah.
00:26:27And then you come in and you talk to Patty and say,
00:26:29I really think she's the one.
00:26:31And I say, she's not the one.
00:26:32Right?
00:26:33And...
00:26:34And I tell you she ate the fly, you don't believe me,
00:26:36and I tell the story, and again, all this pent up,
00:26:38and finally I end with, she took the fly, she put it in...
00:26:41And then I scream it, she ate it!
00:26:44And I hyperventilate it, and if you look very closely,
00:26:47you see me go, ooh, ooh, because I almost...
00:26:49I felt like I was going to pass out.
00:26:51Who hyperventilates saying a line?
00:27:00Hey, you got him!
00:27:01Yeah, I guess I did.
00:27:02Wow, good hands.
00:27:04All right, um...
00:27:05Oh, it's okay, I got it.
00:27:06Okay, I'll be about to put this down.
00:27:08The fly... that was flying around.
00:27:23Angela killed it.
00:27:25The fly that was flying around, Angela killed it, it fell on the table, she put it in a
00:27:37napkin, and then she ate it!
00:27:40Brad, was that your favorite, or do you have a favorite?
00:27:57Boy, there's so many.
00:27:58I really loved Lucky Suit, where Robert has an interview to work with the FBI.
00:28:07So, as I was saying...
00:28:09Is this a joke?
00:28:11Excuse me?
00:28:12Dear FBI Agent Garfield, I'm writing to ask for your understanding, you have an interview
00:28:17this morning with my son, Robert Barone.
00:28:37What?
00:28:38Oh!
00:28:39Robbie, you scared me!
00:28:44How did your interview go?
00:28:49Come here, let me tell you about it.
00:28:52Didn't it go well?
00:28:56Well, it was going okay.
00:28:58And then Agent Garfield read me a letter about Crazy Robert and his Lucky Suit.
00:29:05Mom, what did he do?
00:29:07She faxed the FBI a letter about how she ruined my Lucky Suit.
00:29:10I wasn't sure it went through, it was the first time I ever used a fax machine.
00:29:15Marie, why don't you go into the kitchen, and Robert, how about you just stay here and
00:29:20maybe blink a few times?
00:29:27So, Mother's Day, this is a good story.
00:29:32After one of my shows, this guy came up to me after the show, and it was really amazing.
00:29:39He was a veteran, and I remember that Phil, you and Ray would always send the DVDs to our
00:29:49troops when the show was on the air.
00:29:52And he gave me his retirement challenge coin, and he served from 1999 to 2020.
00:30:03And he said, you guys really helped when we needed the humor more than anything.
00:30:10And it really kept us buoyant.
00:30:12Wow.
00:30:13In what we were going through every day.
00:30:15Oh, my God.
00:30:16And, yeah.
00:30:19Yeah.
00:30:20It's an honor to be on this bus, and thanks for letting me on even though I was a giant.
00:30:26There's more people coming out.
00:30:29We'll be right back, I guess.
00:30:30Yeah.
00:30:31at the range point.
00:30:32Of course.
00:30:33Oh, my God.
00:30:34This is something, huh?
00:30:49Yeah, something.
00:30:50Something.
00:30:51Something.
00:30:52Something...
00:31:00It's something!
00:31:22And it still has the dent from where I picked Patty up and threw her into the thing.
00:31:32Very good.
00:31:34So there was someone else in that scene that I knew for a long time before we did the show.
00:31:40I saw her first in a play, and I thought she was really funny.
00:31:44And then I married that girl.
00:31:46I might not be the best person to help.
00:31:48I've spent the last ten years looking for an engagement ring.
00:31:52Oh, Robert, this is my friend Amy. We used to work at the PR firm together.
00:31:55Hi.
00:31:56Hi, Ray.
00:31:56Here we go.
00:31:57Oh, look, this one looks like a heart.
00:32:00Stop your crying and get off your pity pot, Nancy.
00:32:05God, I keep forgetting what a freak show this family is until somebody new comes in and looks at us like that.
00:32:16Wait.
00:32:22Did your mother come over and make things worse, as usual?
00:32:33Here's Monica.
00:32:34Monica.
00:32:35Yes!
00:32:36Yes!
00:32:37Yes!
00:32:37Yes!
00:32:38Yes!
00:32:39Yes!
00:32:40Yes!
00:32:41Yes!
00:32:42Yes!
00:32:43Yes!
00:32:44Yes!
00:32:45Yes!
00:32:46Hello, my darling.
00:32:47My darling.
00:32:48Oh!
00:32:49Hello.
00:32:49Oh!
00:32:50Oh, my God.
00:32:51Oh!
00:32:52Oh!
00:32:52Oh!
00:32:53Oh, my God.
00:32:54Oh!
00:32:55Oh, my God.
00:32:56Oh, my God.
00:32:57Oh!
00:32:58Oh, my God.
00:32:59Oh, my God.
00:33:00Relax.
00:33:01Relax!
00:33:02Woo!
00:33:03Hi, Monica.
00:33:04Hi!
00:33:05You can tell Monica brought a slightly different energy to the family, right?
00:33:08Yes.
00:33:09Just being here is so incredible, right?
00:33:11I can't believe how everyone did the set.
00:33:14Yeah.
00:33:15Like, everybody backstage.
00:33:16And you guys being here, it's so overwhelming!
00:33:19It's unbelievable!
00:33:21Talk about...
00:33:22What about...
00:33:23Because, first, you were recurring, right?
00:33:25Yes.
00:33:26And then...
00:33:27Well, first, I didn't even know I'd be recurring.
00:33:28Can I tell you a little something?
00:33:29Yes.
00:33:30I was pregnant with our daughter, Lily, and I didn't know it.
00:33:33I found out after.
00:33:35So, that first...
00:33:36Wait.
00:33:37I didn't know that!
00:33:38And flash forward, too.
00:33:39She just got married!
00:33:40And she just got married, Liz!
00:33:41She just got married.
00:33:42Oh, Lily.
00:33:43Lily got married.
00:33:44Yeah.
00:33:46We had a lot of babies on this show.
00:33:48A lot of babies.
00:33:49The moral is, this show made us horny.
00:33:53We were happy!
00:33:57When did you officially know you were a regular?
00:33:59It just started building and building and building.
00:34:02And the...
00:34:03Robert and Amy...
00:34:04It really was...
00:34:05You know, I've had only a couple comedy partners in my life.
00:34:08But this one...
00:34:09And that writing to this couple was so perfect, wasn't it?
00:34:13It was great.
00:34:14It was great.
00:34:15It was so fun.
00:34:16And it was...
00:34:17To then be with, like, one of the greatest comic teams of all time.
00:34:22Oh, yeah.
00:34:23Ray and Deborah.
00:34:24That's you guys!
00:34:25Yeah, you were brilliant!
00:34:27So, it was really lucky.
00:34:28Do you have a favorite episode?
00:34:30Oh, yeah.
00:34:31It's all of them you mentioned.
00:34:32There's so many favorite episodes.
00:34:34The one that captures my heart is because my dear, beloved Georgia,
00:34:38who I was very close with, the Georgia Angle, who played my mom.
00:34:42And it's Pat's Secret.
00:34:44Oh.
00:34:45Oh.
00:34:46Hi.
00:34:47Is everything all right?
00:34:49What, can't sleep?
00:34:51Yeah, me neither.
00:34:53Mind if I bum a ciggy?
00:34:54Robert was smoking.
00:34:55I wasn't.
00:34:56I wasn't.
00:34:57I wasn't.
00:34:58Smell him.
00:34:59Come here.
00:35:00Come here.
00:35:01Come here.
00:35:02Oh, my God!
00:35:03Yeah!
00:35:04Do you know what he's been doing?
00:35:05Smell him.
00:35:06It wasn't lying.
00:35:07It was more like she was just letting off steam so you don't let it out on the person you love.
00:35:19You know?
00:35:20Like Ray.
00:35:21He has to drive around the block a few times every night listening to the radio before he goes home to face Deborah.
00:35:40Are you crazy?
00:35:55When I'm angry at my cat, Miss Puss, sometimes I'll sneak up behind her and bark like a dog.
00:36:05I like to blow up fireworks.
00:36:09I thought since it wasn't a secret anymore.
00:36:22Oh, my boy.
00:36:31She was just in heaven.
00:36:37And she always talked to everyone about the writing on this show, working with Phil, for years and years and years after.
00:36:45Beautiful.
00:36:46So thank you for letting us really back.
00:36:48You know what? We're so lucky to work with these comedy legends that we idolized.
00:36:52You know, we stand on the shoulders of the great people that came before us.
00:36:56Obviously, people have passed and we've seen a lot of clips of our mom and dad on the show.
00:37:02But when we come back, we'll talk about them.
00:37:12So let's talk about the parents.
00:37:29For you and me, it's very personal because they were so based on our parents.
00:37:37Yeah, the mother was more you. I mean, the mother was definitely more you.
00:37:41And the dad was more you, maybe?
00:37:42I used to say, everything you saw Peter do, my father probably did in real life without pants on.
00:37:49Yes, yes. But I remember just talking about Peter during the pilot episode.
00:37:55So now I'm a young guy who just got fired from news radio.
00:37:59And here I am again, attempting a show.
00:38:03And I'm nervous.
00:38:04And Peter is the great Peter Boyle, this iconic movie guy.
00:38:08And he's an imposing figure.
00:38:10I didn't know then how sweet he really was.
00:38:14And I hadn't really had a conversation with Peter.
00:38:16And our paths were crossing.
00:38:18And I swear to God, it must have been right here.
00:38:20And he just stops me.
00:38:22And I haven't said anything to him.
00:38:24He just stops me.
00:38:25And I guess he could tell.
00:38:26He could tell that I was a little nervous.
00:38:28And he just looks and he goes, I remember the words.
00:38:30He just goes, it's just like water.
00:38:33Just let it flow.
00:38:35And then he leaves.
00:38:37And at that time, I'm like, what does that mean?
00:38:42And even though, as an actor, I didn't know exactly what that meant.
00:38:47But I do now.
00:38:48Just the gesture.
00:38:50The gesture of him reaching out to me.
00:38:52It's everything.
00:38:53Yeah.
00:38:54It's everything.
00:38:55Yeah.
00:38:56Beautiful.
00:38:57Anyway, go ahead.
00:38:58Talk about yours.
00:39:00We saw a hundred ladies for the part.
00:39:04They all read with that fruit of the month scene.
00:39:07No one came close to Doris Roberts.
00:39:10No one.
00:39:11She was what was in my head and in my life.
00:39:16And, and was, was so beyond even.
00:39:21My, my real mother used to say, you know, it is a little exaggerated.
00:39:25But you never saw that with Doris because she was always spot on.
00:39:33She was always a hundred percent believable.
00:39:36Yeah.
00:39:37Peter too.
00:39:38Again, I keep reiterating the same thing.
00:39:40We could be the best writers in the world.
00:39:42It wouldn't matter if we didn't have these people and Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts.
00:39:50Let me show you something.
00:39:51Let me show you something.
00:39:52Let me show you something.
00:39:53Let me show you something.
00:39:57Marie?
00:39:58Oh.
00:39:59Well.
00:40:00Okay.
00:40:01Oh, Frank, this is wonderful.
00:40:03You dumb bastard.
00:40:04What?
00:40:05Write it out.
00:40:06You put a stop to this now.
00:40:07All right, dad.
00:40:08All right.
00:40:09Well, let me ask you.
00:40:10She's in a bad mood.
00:40:11What?
00:40:12What?
00:40:13Write it out.
00:40:14You put a stop to this now.
00:40:16All right, dad.
00:40:17All right.
00:40:18Let me ask you.
00:40:19She's in a bad mood.
00:40:20What?
00:40:21Two, three days tops?
00:40:23And before you know it, what used to be a bad mood now takes over and becomes her
00:40:28only mood.
00:40:31And then, well, then you become like me.
00:40:35When not a day goes by that I don't wish there was a comet screaming towards Earth to
00:40:41bring me sweet relief.
00:40:42That's gonna need another coat.
00:40:56Did you say that you like Amy more than Deborah?
00:41:02Deborah?
00:41:03I am not saying that I like Amy more than Deborah.
00:41:09I know.
00:41:10I know you're not saying it now.
00:41:13But did you say it ever?
00:41:19What if I told you that we have a tape of you saying it, Mom?
00:41:34Give me the tape.
00:41:36What we do in our bedroom is our own business.
00:41:39And I prefer not to be known as the Whore of Lindbrook.
00:41:48We can move from Lindbrook.
00:41:53Can't you ever just be quiet?
00:41:56Don't you tell me to be quiet.
00:41:58I have a mind of my own, you know.
00:42:00I can contribute.
00:42:01I'm not just some trophy wife.
00:42:14You're a trophy wife?
00:42:17What contest in hell did I win?
00:42:22You still can't think of anything nice to say about me?
00:42:27How about I sleep on it?
00:42:37It's all jokes.
00:42:50Frank, what are you doing?
00:42:52No, no, no.
00:42:53I need that, Frank.
00:42:56I like you better without the crap on your face.
00:43:10I left my heart in San Francisco.
00:43:27Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
00:43:29My wife thinks I'm in the bathroom.
00:43:34I think we all have special memories of each one of them, you know?
00:43:35Doris could drink everybody under the table.
00:43:39Champagne.
00:43:40That was her choice.
00:43:41Pretty good.
00:43:42Never stop working.
00:43:43Right?
00:43:44Yeah.
00:43:45I think we all have special memories of each one of them, you know?
00:44:01Doris could drink everybody under the table.
00:44:06Champagne.
00:44:07That was her choice.
00:44:08Pretty good.
00:44:09Never stop working, right?
00:44:10Never stop working on hiatuses.
00:44:11Yeah.
00:44:12Always working.
00:44:13Taking acting classes.
00:44:14And directing plays.
00:44:1590.
00:44:16Yes.
00:44:17And Peter was pretty much the opposite of that guy.
00:44:21He was kind of a renaissance man.
00:44:25Yes.
00:44:26He wasn't really like that character.
00:44:28Two things about him you may not know.
00:44:30He studied to be a monk.
00:44:32Yes.
00:44:33I asked him, what made you give it up?
00:44:35He said there weren't enough girls there.
00:44:38And best man at his wedding was John Lennon.
00:44:43Yeah.
00:44:44Yeah.
00:44:45How about that?
00:44:46As a matter of fact, the girl he married is here tonight.
00:44:50Yeah.
00:44:51Lorraine Boyle is sitting right up there.
00:44:52Yeah.
00:44:53Lorraine.
00:44:54Yeah.
00:44:55Yeah.
00:45:00Well, you know, it's funny.
00:45:03I remember when Peter Boyle was cast and we were like so excited because we're going
00:45:09to be able to play every week with this legend.
00:45:12And Ray went, you know, I think it's so fitting that the guy who's playing your dad was young
00:45:19Frankenstein.
00:45:23Yeah.
00:45:24Yeah.
00:45:25Well, they became our parents in more ways than one on the show.
00:45:29Yes.
00:45:30To Doris and Peter.
00:45:31Yes.
00:45:32Yay.
00:45:33Cheers.
00:45:34Cheers.
00:45:35Cheers.

00:45:57Yeah.
00:45:58Yeah, good.
00:45:59Even better the second time now that my tongue's not scared.
00:46:03Everything happened over food.
00:46:06There was so much food on the show.
00:46:08And it just sort of taught you that like lessons are learned and arguments are made.
00:46:14When you're sitting down to eat, you learn a lot about each other.
00:46:18You should ask Debra how she makes this.
00:46:20Oh.
00:46:21I should ask Debra.
00:46:22I should ask Debra.
00:46:23Give me that.
00:46:25Food is, you know, it's family.
00:46:28Gathering around the table.
00:46:29Just like love.
00:46:30You better not have started that cake.
00:46:31That cake is for all of us.
00:46:32I'm coming over.

00:49:35Hi.
00:49:37So emotional.
00:49:39I know.
00:49:40Do you want to sit on my lap?
00:49:44What was it like to grow up here with us, with us maniacs?
00:49:48I mean, I don't know.
00:49:48It just felt like what we were supposed to do.
00:49:51I don't think we understood, right, how impactful the show was or how impactful what we were doing was.
00:49:58So, yeah, I would get upset that, you know, I couldn't be in the school play.
00:50:02Yeah, but looking back, you know, I wouldn't change anything about it.
00:50:06That's so great to hear.
00:50:07It's so good to see you guys.
00:50:09It really is.
00:50:10Tell us what you're doing now.
00:50:11I just had a baby.
00:50:12Yeah!
00:50:15Your grandparents!
00:50:16Yeah, you had a grandpa!
00:50:19Yeah, I brought him here with me today.
00:50:22You and my husband are in the back.
00:50:23Oh, great.
00:50:24They're excited to meet you.
00:50:25You guys were always in a good mood.
00:50:30Because we had lots of candy.
00:50:31But you were also, I want to say, fantastic.
00:50:35We were on set with some of the most amazing comedic actors in the world.
00:50:41So it was, you know, we were learning from everybody how to do it.
00:50:45And that's the only reason that we were, you know, any good at it, I think.
00:50:49Yeah, and I definitely feel like I carried that experience through my whole life.
00:50:52You know, I try to bring that kind of comedy with me wherever I go.
00:50:56Do you have a favorite episode?
00:50:57You know, it's funny, I'm not in my favorite episode.
00:51:01Now as an adult, as I've been watching it back, I found there's so many more adult things
00:51:06that I didn't realize when I was a kid.
00:51:09And my favorite episode is Marie's statue.
00:51:13Oh!
00:51:13I give you this.
00:51:20Isn't it a bit too lady-like?
00:51:31Great.
00:51:32See?
00:51:33Oh, now I do, thank you.
00:51:35It looks like something, though.
00:51:36What does it look like?
00:51:37You can get close, you can even touch it.
00:51:42I'm fine.
00:51:46I gotta tell you, I don't know what the hell this is, but I love it.
00:51:53Hello.
00:51:54Raymond Barone?
00:51:55Mm-hmm.
00:51:56I'm Sister Anne.
00:51:57This is Sister Beth.
00:51:58We're here to pick up the sculpture.
00:51:59Forgive me, but is that not a sculptor of...
00:52:09What?
00:52:13Oh my God, I'm a lesbian.
00:52:22But what happened to the sculpture?
00:52:28I think it was in Doris's backyard.
00:52:30Oh, yeah.
00:52:32I think her grandkids used it as a slide.
00:52:41That's wrong.
00:52:42Sullivan, you've got one.
00:52:45Oh, I've got plenty of good memories, you know, playing tag in the bleachers and, you
00:52:50know, the prop room.
00:52:51But I think I'm a sucker for a happy ending, and the final scene with everybody gathered
00:52:55around the table has got to be my favorite memory.
00:52:57Like we are now.
00:52:59Hey, what do you got there, French toast?
00:53:01No, no, no, no, don't worry, I'll make something.
00:53:03Yay!
00:53:04All right, sit down.
00:53:05All right, Uncle Robert's hungry and big, and if you don't want to get eaten, move out
00:53:07of the way.
00:53:08Thank you, darling.
00:53:09This is inside.
00:53:10What do we have here?
00:53:11Here, have some food in the meantime.
00:53:14Ah, so much grapes.
00:53:16Right.
00:53:17It's getting a little too crowded in here.
00:53:19Yeah, it is.
00:53:20You know what?
00:53:21We need a bigger table.
00:53:23Yes.
00:53:23All right.
00:53:24Who would like some chocolate chip pancakes?
00:53:27All right.
00:53:28Woo!
00:53:28Woo!
00:53:33The philosophy of we need a bigger table is everything to me.
00:53:39You know, the family is a microcosm of your families, we hope, and of wherever you live,
00:53:48and our country and the world.
00:53:50We need a bigger table.
00:53:52So that's the idea.
00:53:53That's why I wanted it to be the last thing.
00:53:55Can we mention also...
00:54:03Sawyer, yes.
00:54:05So Sawyer, of course, is no longer with us, and we miss him, and he, just like you were,
00:54:10just this bright energy, light.
00:54:13None of us really expected what happened, but, you know, I try to think about the good
00:54:19moments, and oftentimes, that's here on the set.
00:54:22I just think it's so important, any conversation that we're having about Sawyer, we're very
00:54:27passionate in our family about suicide prevention.
00:54:30It is the second leading cause of death between the ages of 18 to 25, but 90% of people who
00:54:37seek treatment are cured.
00:54:39And so many of the messages that we get are people saying, I'm so grateful to have heard
00:54:45about your brother, he saved my life.
00:54:46Is there an organization that you work with, on behalf of Sawyer, where people could reach
00:54:52out to you?
00:54:53We work with the National Suicide Prevention Hotline.
00:54:56Okay.
00:54:56That's our main place.
00:54:59Okay.
00:54:59Yeah.
00:54:59But, you know, people can grab a Sawyer t-shirt.
00:55:03We do t-shirts every year, and all of the proceeds go there.
00:55:07Great.
00:55:07Yeah.
00:55:08Thank you so much.
00:55:16I almost didn't know how lucky I was working with amazing actors that allowed you then to
00:55:40take these big swings with physical comedy, and then the actors, just so gifted.
00:55:49Robin, let me tell you what they did, okay?
00:56:00Oh, I am tired, sweetness.
00:56:04Oh, yeah.
00:56:06Oh.
00:56:07Oh, baby, does that feel good?
00:56:10Oh, God.
00:56:14Hmm.
00:56:15Give me that.
00:56:26If Debra has to give him permission to make more decisions, and then it has to spectacularly
00:56:32end badly.
00:56:34Debra's going all nutty on me over here, but what else is new?
00:56:37That means Ray's got to, I don't know, like, set the kitchen on fire.
00:56:40The laugh inside the studio was, like, nothing I ever heard.
00:56:57Hey, what's this?
00:56:57Fire!
00:56:58Fire in the fire!
00:57:00Famous one was Patty dealing with that Thanksgiving turkey, and that was all her.
00:57:06Huh?
00:57:07Yeah.
00:57:08Debra is wrestling with a turkey that keeps falling, and you can write that on the page.
00:57:13It just looks like an action line.
00:57:14And then, when Patty Heaton does it, you look at the writers around you and go, look how
00:57:22good we are.
00:57:34Okay, yes, ma'am.
00:57:34Hi, my question for you is, do you guys have a favorite line, and if so, can you reenact
00:57:39it for us now?
00:57:42Favorite line.
00:57:43One favorite line.
00:57:45I have one.
00:57:46Yes.
00:57:46What did you do?
00:57:58What did you do?
00:58:01Very well done.
00:58:03I have a favorite line.
00:58:05It wasn't, I didn't say it, but it was said to me, and it was from nobody on here.
00:58:10It was from a day character who was in a hospital bed, and I said something to her, and she looked
00:58:17at me and went, you tricky, tricky white boy.
00:58:25You want to get better, you got to take your pills.
00:58:31Oh, you tricky, tricky white boy.
00:58:34What has happened to you in real life, since the show's ended, that you thought to yourself,
00:58:44that would make a really great episode.
00:58:47Yeah.
00:58:47Our friend Lou Schneider, who's one of the great writers of the show, he tells a story
00:58:52about how he was on vacation with the family, and he dropped his keys down the elevator shaft,
00:59:00right in the crack of the elevator door, and he was freaking out, because it's the car keys,
00:59:06the house keys, everything, and he was really going nuts, and his wife said,
00:59:10this is great, maybe you could use it on the show, you know, that this, we already did the
00:59:17episode where Ray loses his ring in the, in the, in the thing, so this is not good for
00:59:24the show, this is just something that happened.
00:59:26Hey guys, my question is actually for Brad Garrett, when Judy took you to the dance
00:59:35club, you have this amazing, iconic dance, I wanted to ask if we can recreate it right
00:59:39now, and boogie down a little.
00:59:43Oh, you and him?
00:59:46You in for it?
00:59:47Come on down.
00:59:48Come on.

01:01:52to you guys you know when we started it was a show about a family four families and after a little
01:01:58while it was being made by a family what you don't see are all the people that really made the show
01:02:05with us some of whom we haven't seen since we went off the air so if we could let's bring most of them
01:02:14out
01:02:23i got the joke
01:02:33Now, one little more thing we want to share with the audience.
01:02:51It's kind of like a gag reel, so we want to share that with you and with everybody who
01:02:56made the show.
01:02:58What?
01:03:00What's wrong?
01:03:01What happened?
01:03:03You kicked me.
01:03:06I did?
01:03:08Oh, right in the garden of good and evil.
01:03:12Right in Geppetto's workshop.
01:03:15Right in Granny's apples.
01:03:17Right in the Hard Rock Cafe.
01:03:20You know where I had to go for this suit?
01:03:23Wherever it was, I'll bet it was dark.
01:03:25I'm just a simple man who tried to make a difference.
01:03:40I still put my pants on one leg at a time.
01:03:46Yeah, but you should stop when I reach your nipples.
01:03:48Do you know where I had to go for this suit?
01:04:01A little shop of horrors.
01:04:02Okay.
01:04:06Come on.
01:04:09Come on, man.
01:04:11Now, all that remains is the issue of we should be granted guardianship in the event that both
01:04:16of you die at the same time.
01:04:18Whoa, slow down.
01:04:19We're still trying to have an orgasm at the same time.
01:04:20You know where I had to go for this suit?
01:04:34Hey, Marie, I knew you named them, but I didn't know you fed them.
01:04:53It's like I've entered a world where ladies want Ray.
01:04:57Ray Bird.
01:04:57Ray Bird.
01:04:58Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:04:59Ray Bird.
01:04:59Ray Bird.
01:05:00You know what?
01:05:01With your penis and my money, we're unstoppable.
01:05:04You better have a lot of money.
01:05:14To be honest, Deborah, it's not a style I'd ever wear.
01:05:20Nice try, though.
01:05:23Put it on.
01:05:24Thank you, everybody.
01:05:35You want to say goodbye?
01:05:35I do.
01:05:36I want to say...
01:05:37I want to say to...
01:05:40To all of you and to all of you, I used to say this to Ray all the time, thanks for the
01:05:48good life.
01:05:49Yeah.
01:05:49And we wish the same to all of you.
01:05:52Thank you, everybody.
01:05:55Thank you, everybody.
01:05:55Yay!
01:05:56Thank you, everybody.
01:06:04Yay!
01:06:06Everybody, come on.
