The Nanny Reunion: A Nosh to Remember
The cast members reminisce about the show and present exclusive blooper footage never shown on television, as well as an update on their current activities.[1][2] The reunion took place at Fran Drescher's oceanside home in California. The entire cast was present except for Daniel Davis, who was performing in the musical La Cage aux Folles on Broadway at the time and was unable to attend. Also at the reunion were Drescher's mother and father, Sylvia and Morty, who made several appearances on the show. In the special, Daniel Davis, or "Danny", was said by Drescher to have gotten "lost". At the end of the special, "Danny" (actually Danny Bonaduce), makes an appearance.
