"Some of the compilations we had to cut down, the gag reel had to be cut down," Romano said. "My wife [Anna] did a half-hour interview, and they showed her for three seconds. My father and [Raymond creator] Phil [Rosenthal]'s father did guest spots together a few times, and they weren't actors but they were always hysterical. We showed that during the live taping but had to cut it down. But you also don't want to go too long. We could have used another 10 minutes."

Romano and Rosenthal also filmed new wrap-arounds in which they discuss the experience of filming the reunion.

Joined on stage by castmembers Patricia Heaton, Brad Garrett, Monica Horan, Madylin Sweeten and Sullivan Sweeten, they reminisced about the making of the show and their late co-stars Doris Roberts, Peter Boyle and Sawyer Sweeten.

The Nov. 24 special drew solid ratings, averaging 6.32 million viewers. A Nov. 28 repeat and seven days of streaming and other delayed viewing brought the total to 10.08 million. Fulwell Entertainment produced the reunion special. Rosenthal and Romano executive produced with Rory Rosegarten, Eddy Yablans, Gabe Turner, Emma Conway and Eric Pankowski for Fulwell.
