‘Everybody Loves Raymond’: Ray Romano Took 1 Item From Set But Had to Return It

Everybody Loves Raymond star Ray Romano revealed that he took one item from the set to keep after the beloved sitcom ended — but he had to return it for the upcoming 30th anniversary reunion special.

For a People article published on Saturday, November 22, the actor, 67, confessed, “That’s the first thing I took. That’s the only thing I wanted to take was the couch.”

Romano explained, “I took the couch and it’s in my home theater. I hate saying that I have a home theater, but yeah, it’s in the theater.”

However, for the 30th anniversary Reunion, he said, “They came and got it and they brought it back.”

The actor behind Ray Barone admitted that “not many people” sit on the couch because “it’s not gigantic.” Plus, he already has 12 seats in the theater.

“The couch is kind of on the side there upfront,” the Ice Age star detailed. He noted that when his sons, Joseph, 27, and twins, Gregory and Matthew, 32, visit with friends, he sees “some of their crew members lying on it.”

Additionally, Everybody Loves Raymond co-creator Phil Rosenthal dished on the items he snatched from the set after filming the final episode: Frank (Peter Boyle) and Marie (Doris Roberts) Barone’s kitchen table and chairs. They currently reside in Rosenthal’s guest house.

“It’s in the same disrepair that it was when we had it 30 years ago,” he shared.

In honor of the sitcom — which aired for nine seasons from 1996 to 2005 — its stars recently came together for a special, Everybody Loves Raymond: 30th Anniversary Reunion. Those featured include Romano, Rosenthal, Brad Garrett, Patricia Heaton, Monica Horan, Madylin Sweeten, and Sullivan Sweeten. (Not included are Boyle, who died in 2006, Sawyer Sweeten, who died in 2015, and Roberts, who died in 2016.)

And yes, the couch will also be there!
