CBS will pay tribute to the 30th anniversary of Everybody Loves Raymond with a 90-minute special on Nov. 20.
Ray Romano and series creator Phil Rosenthal will revisit the comedy that premiered on Sept. 13, 1996 and aired for nine seasons on CBS. Interviews with castmates Brad Garrett, Patricia Heaton, Monica Horan, Madylin Sweeten and Sullivan Sweeten are planned, as well as never-before-seen outtakes.
The special will also honor Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle, whose portrayals of Marie and Frank Barone made them fan favorites. Boyle died in 2006 and Roberts in 2016.
Everybody Loves Raymond won 15 Emmys during its nine-season run, including wins for Outstanding Comedy, Outstanding Lead Actor (Romano) Outstanding Lead Actress (Heaton), Outstanding Supporting Actress (Roberts), and Outstanding Supporting Actor (Garrett).
The anniversary special is produced by Fulwell Entertainment (The Kardashians, Friends: The Reunion, Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium and Encanto at the Hollywood Bowl). Executive producers are Romano, Rosenthal, Rory Rosegarten, Eddy Yablans, Gabe Turner, Emma Conway and Eric Pankowski for Fulwell Entertainment.
