Don't forget The King of Queens, Malcolm In The Middle, Married with Children, Fresh Prince, The Bernie Mac Show and George Lopez. NOT a Friends fan lol.
The summer before Raymond started, I went to a comedy club in Mineola, NY. The last act was Ray Romano, whom I had never heard of. He said he had a tv show coming on that fall. The club wasn't crowded, and I sat right in front of him. He was hysterical. I cherish that moment, because I felt like I discovered the next big thing. He deserves every bit of success he has had.
It just makes it all the more special this being a guy who never acted before the show. It says something how far he had come as an actor to this point. Touches me deeply.
Well-deserved and rather overdue for Ray Romano at that time. The entire production was a miracle of alchemy when it came to the casting and writing and performing. I know some still sort of snark at the show, dismissing it as “just another” family-oriented sitcom, but I’m as snarky as they come and let me tell you: such people fail to perceive the raw and often dark, twisted nuances couched expertly in the broader strokes of the writing and the stellar performances. The show had a sly quality ever-thriving beneath the obvious, and played brilliantly between the buoyant and frustrating dualities that plague most families, resulting in a wistful tone that was always hilarious and never, ever pedestrian. ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ possessed its own, unique sophistication as the result of walking such a tightrope, where the mundane could meet the insane and appeal to both the jovial heart and the snickering cynic … along with millions in-between. Much of the show’s success was indeed due to creator Phil Rosenthal’s brilliant instincts and certainly to the fabulous (and versatile) veteran actors orbiting the namesake character, but, my gosh, Ray Romano’s extroverted insecurity, improvisational gifts, and genius-level timing/delivery *made* the program. The pinnacle belongs to him, indelibly. And he became a damned fine actor during that run, quite apart from his bedrock comedic chops. Romano deserved this honor in a big way. You better believe he did.
It must have been pure bliss yet torture to be an Emmy member in those days, especially in Comedy. I mean, how can you pick between Friends, Malcolm in the Middle, Everybody Loves Raymond, Will and Grace and Fraser?! All excellent shows with amazing performances.
Friends was the most over rated show ever. I only see parts of re-runs by accident and keep changing channels. Love Cranston, but he just did Malcolm for a paycheck. Will and Grace - never saw it, never had any interest to me. Fraiser had a few bright moments, but not something I would program on my DVR. ELR was pretty good overall. Who can't love the Frog Lady.
@@scoutandscooter Yes, Frog Lady! Great execution by the actors, but gave to give credit to the writers who conceived the idea for this episode. Robert finds ideal woman at last except for this one insignificant flaw!
Disagree about Friends but you're right on the money with the rest and I'll add King of Queens which imo should've got some Emmy love, especially because the performances of Kevin James, Leah Remini and especially Jerry Stiller were phenomenal every episode.
You gotta love how happy Kelsey looked for Ray here. He won every Emmy under the sun anyway so I doubt he would've cared regardless but it's good to see someone be so genuinely happy for someone else. That Kelsey Grammer is one special dude.
The core cast carried the show and they didn’t really ever have any big time guest stars appear like friends ended up doing later. That’s one reason I think Raymond is the better show than friends.
Winning an Emmy is a big deal, but man was the competition tough in this one! Kelsey Grammer, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and Bernie Mac were no slouches on their shows!
I know, man. Back in the day the Emmys had real competition where any of the nominees could've won easily. The following year had Ray, Bernie, Tony Shaloub, Larry David, Eric McCormack and Matt Leblanc. Tony won that one.
Watching Patty get so emotional made ME emotional! Boy, what a show... there will never be another that even comes close to ELR! Ray's Emmy was overdue but I'm so, so happy he won because he definitely deserved it!! ❤
It appeared to me that Rays wife started getting upset as Ray was thanking everybody else, almost like she thought he forgot her, (she even slightly shook her head), but as soon as he mentioned her she smiled..awww..but great speech, well deserved win..But next time thank the wife first.. Lol..love Ray Ramano in everything!
She’s not upset because he was thanking other people first. She’s getting emotional because she’s happy for her husband’s success. Its like tears of joy (without the tears)
It's funny when Patricia messes up his hair as Patricia already had 2 emmys and Ray never had any and he would always tease her when she messed up her lines.
When I heard Matthew Perry got an Emmy nomination for Friends that year I was like "ABOUT FUCKING TIME!" Because he should've been nominated ages ago throughout the show's whole run. Love you Chandler Bing, you were everybody's favorite friend to me.
Comedy today can't hold a candle to the sitcoms of the 80s/90s/early 2000s. Veep, Schitt's, Office, Mrs Maisel are all terrific comedy products. But they can't hold a candle to the originality and quality of Frasier, Cheers, Raymond, Seinfeld, Mary Tyler Moore. Not even close.
I loved this show but have to say his character is definitely one of the most annoying characters in sitcom history and quite possibly the most annoying leading character
honestly it shouldn't have to be explained, Chandler's sarcasm, Joey's stupidity, Ross' rage, Phoebe's rage, Monica's obsessions, and Rachel's reactions to things in general. If you think it's just sex shit, you clearly haven't properly watched it! The rest of the shows nominated that year is the basis of the comedy of today's sitcoms and most of them are pure trash
How is that 'explaining' how Friends is better? It can be argued that ELR is better due to it's closer ties to reality, and more focused, (one story per show) but both shows were great in their own way. Apples and Jaffa cakes!
He says some really yucky things whenever he's a guest on tv shows. Doesn't seem to have a good sensor for what is not appropriate to say on national tv. And, it's not that they are even funny stories, just rather in very poor taste.
The 90s and 2000s were such a great time for sitcoms, Frasier, Friends, Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond, Golden Girls, amazing shows
Don't forget The King of Queens, Malcolm In The Middle, Married with Children, Fresh Prince, The Bernie Mac Show and George Lopez. NOT a Friends fan lol.
agree!!!
Will & Grace
I agree. Comedy these days just ain't the same.
Yes the days before the kardasians and "reality"show nightmares
Golden Age of television.

It helped that Doris Roberts helped a lot with Ray’s confidence.
@actownsend7288 very true. He had a great support system.

Still watch the reruns! One of the best shows ive seen
Joey improved his "gracious loser face" 😂😂😂😂
eeeevvvverybody loves Raymond (Brad Voice)
This show was too damn good
One of the greatest shows of the last 20 years!!! Congrats Ray.

Patricia crying and messing up his hair, reminds me so much of the bond shared by Kate and Leo
Look at Patricia is crying when she’s very proud of Ray.
At last...! Ray finally won and it's a beautiful thing.
Best cast on tv ever... They truly loved each other! Love the reruns!! 👍👍👍

He remembered his tv show kids.That is so sweet.
Everybody Loves Raymond was the best show. There were so many great shows back then.
Watching Patty get so emotional made ME emotional! Boy, what a show... there will never be another that even comes close to ELR!
Ray's Emmy was overdue but I'm so, so happy he won because he definitely deserved it!! ❤
I always like every body loves Raymond
Raymond gets everything
Ok, Robert lol.
I've been looking for this too. Love the shot of his Dad wiping a tear. Thanks for the upload.
Patricia almost cried at 1:30, she is emotional like Debra!
It appeared to me that Rays wife started getting upset as Ray was thanking everybody else, almost like she thought he forgot her, (she even slightly shook her head), but as soon as he mentioned her she smiled..awww..but great speech, well deserved win..But next time thank the wife first..

It's like that episode of ELR when he gave the commencement speech haha.
She’s not upset because he was thanking other people first. She’s getting emotional because she’s happy for her husband’s success. Its like tears of joy (without the tears)
Still watch this show in 2025
Such a fun show with relatable and down to earth humour
He said Ray Romano, Thank God. ….,❤❤❤❤
Been looking for this for so long. Thanks for sharing!
beautiful speech
Izabela Gomez Very. His lovely wife crying. I'm glad he made Anna laugh at that perfect moment.
It's funny when Patricia messes up his hair as Patricia already had 2 emmys and Ray never had any and he would always tease her when she messed up her lines.
“Your line Emmy winner”...😂
Atwa Jesper I wish she had retorted back “ And don’t ya ever forget about that”. You know, in a really gansta way.
Patricia Heaton won another Emmy Award for Outstanding Culinary Program for producing Patricia Heaton Parties: Season 1.
"hate to see the people that lost the Emmy"😂😂
"she has two emmys I've got none, she has two emmys I've got none"
He's so good in 'The Big Sick'.
My wife and I saw that film and not only did we love it now my wife understands WHY I’m a comedy nerd.
Es todo ray romano es se lo meresia es el mejor desde mexico
Funny and heartwarming speech.
Ray Romano has great acting on Everybody Loves Raymond in season 6. Ray Romano is funny in season 6 than 4-5 and 7-9.
That episode with Peggy the cookie lady…he brought his A-plus game!
@@charlesfranklinlambeth3944 It was Cookies. Season 6 episode 15.
Right now my family and I are so into Everybody Loves Raymond. We even enjoy it more than Friends. And Ray is so cute
yikes
@@vodkatonyq I know right? I have a different opinion than most! Yikes 😱
@@lifestyle7936 my yikes had more to do with finding an awful, toxic character like Ray cute, but whatever floats your boat...

Congrats Ray
90s are great every sitcoms make laugh. Now every sitcoms name only sitcom but didn't make laugh
Amazing nominations!!!
Hey Ray Here
Hahaha!!!
Like how Gary said "Thank God" !
Competing with Brad on the Emmy in real life...hahahaha cute...
Wouldn't it have been funny if Matt went off like that episode with the Soapie Awards??? 🤣😂🤣😂
Everybody loves Raymond was the best ❤
R.I.P Bernie Mac
As much as I was happy for ray for getting one for himself I would’ve loved to see my man bernie win one at least too
Hey do you have Everybody Loves Raymond winning the Emmy for Best Comedy Series in 2005 by any chance? Would be greatly appreciated :-)
Raaaaaymooond :D
Omg!joey and chandler are also nominated ??poor thing.other than Ray Romano,there two are my favorite actors ,too

Friends as a show was cute at best especially at this point.
Friends WON that year.
What episode was it that Ray win the Emmy for?
I remembered that Patricia Heaton won it for the PMS episode.
He won for "The Breakup Tape" (Season 6, Episode 18).
@@Chapin-pc2kz he was outstanding in that episode.
Who is that announcer, forgot his name but did he said “thank god” after announcing Ray as the winner?
@V4D3R that was his wife Camille
@kevinmodernfamily20
😂😂💓love um
LOL!
Look at his competition that yr. 👀
Wow
This time he thanks his wife
I just can't believe Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry never won an emmy... It's so unfair!
+Victoria Rufino ...I can
Victoria Rufino I know right
Victoria Rufino neither did David
Well, they made lots of money instead. It’s not so bad.
If anything David should've won, he was the funniest of the three.
Friends was a mile wide and and an inch deep! - Was the fore -runner of SNOWFLAKES!
thanks for those "insights".
Why does the actress playing debra crying all the yine
cuz she is so happy for him
Ray Barone must’ve been so pessimistic about winning this award, hope something good comes out of it :)
As good as Romano is, Grammer was better.
They were all great and those were the days.
can anyone tell me whats going on here? Whats the parents to the plane joke implying and why is Patty Heaton crying?
I'm gonna guess Patricia is crying because she's happy for him.
He was saying that his parents can go home early because he won and they don't have to hang around
Watch the bloopers from previous seasons, Ray gives it to Patty for her Emmy wins, after like 5 nominations he finally wins one in the last season.
@@boganxxx This was the 3rd to last season not the last…
The days before the kardasians and reality show nightmares
Kelsey Grammar is leagues above those guys!
It's sad Matt Perry never won tho
Futon mattress. Haha just like on the show
The 9 people who doesn't like this needs there heads testing 🤔
I wonder why Monica was never nominated. I thought she was good and funny.
Romance girl
Bernie
check out the attention seeking 15 min of fame lady behind Rays wife.
?/?/2002
They really wanted Friends to win this so bad they had to nominate 2 of their cast members ? Pathetic …
I loved this show but have to say his character is definitely one of the most annoying characters in sitcom history and quite possibly the most annoying leading character
in my opinion matt le blanc or mathew perry should have won
Absolutely. Ray Romano is a terrible actor.
Friends was a better show in all aspects! Its such Bullshit!!
Watch Frasier and you won't say that! Friends was shit
Let's agree to disagree
Oh yes, Friends; written for both women and gay men. With the real life junkie that is Mathew Perry.
honestly it shouldn't have to be explained, Chandler's sarcasm, Joey's stupidity, Ross' rage, Phoebe's rage, Monica's obsessions, and Rachel's reactions to things in general.

The uk HATED this show.
Then they have no taste. BRILLIANT SHOW.
Congratulations to him but having heard how foul mouthed he can be now in stand up is disgusting. Sad. Still a great show.
He says some really yucky things whenever he's a guest on tv shows. Doesn't seem to have a good sensor for what is not appropriate to say on national tv. And, it's not that they are even funny stories, just rather in very poor taste.
Matt Le Blanc was robbed
Matthew Perry should have won.
the only that made that show funny was the other cast; Ray had his moment's but other than that; almost as boring as his stand up..
