And Tiffani Thiessens date. Sharing stories they might want to keep to themselves. Do you remember we have seven glasses of wine. How old were you . 16. Now this is entertainment tonight. Happy holidays, everyone. We have a very special gift for you this weekend. Were unwrapping e. T. s best reunions of the year. Some of your favorite stars from television and music have gotten back to together in 2016. Lets start with the tv movie who now has a much fuller house. You dont have to be a full house fan to know that the Tanner Family lived among that famous row of houses in san francisco. This house is so iconic, and its the first time weve all been here together. Jeff franklin, the man behind full and fuller house brougou the bay area home in august for a whopping 4 million. The previous owners had made it unrecognizable with a paint job. Now its back to how we i thought it would be fun to bring back the original door from 1987. So we had a reproduction made, and thats what youre looking at. All right. Quiet. And action. E. T. Was on the set of fuller house just before the cast lost their long time friend and recent guest star alan thicke. The last time we saw him as at fuller house. He was so great. Alans always great. The last thing that was posted on his social media was about fuller house, and i was tagged along with bob saget and jeff franklin. So that was that just feels its weird, and its like candace had a hockey connection with alan, as did dave coulier. He was always selfdeprecating at the rink. One time he sat down next to me after a shift on the ice and said im not very good but im sure at slow. Joey made his directo to come back and tell everyone where to go. Youre a natural. Well, well see. I get fired right after were finished with this episode. Hello. I dare to be silly. Cut it out. Its really strange for us. Me and dave so focused and serious. But ive seen this side of dave before because hes also a pilot. And when he flies, hes the same way. Were watching dave. Here we go. The episode is called the nutcrackers. So we are choreographing the nutcracker down on our stage down there. I have to take my glasses and go, okay, and action. The scene is over, and you go cut it out. See what you did there. Thats crazy. Heres another television reunion, this one filled with holiday cheer. A christmas dinner with tiffani thiess thiessen, serving up a delicious side of 90s nostalgia. Cheers. Merry christmas. These are a group of people, all of them that i to have them all in the same room is pretty neat. Joining the actress and her husband at their table, three of tiffanys former onscreen loves and their wives, including Beverly Hills 90210 heart throb jason priestly. Im home. I noticed. Everything on the plate was actually made by brady this evening. Whats that . My favorite thing is the smoked turkey. He made it . Im sorry. You might have he brought it on a plate. Did you smoke it . Yeah, i smoked it. All i saw was who carried it in. He carried it. I apologize. Unapologetic for his appetite, tiffanys white collar costar tim takei. Ill take another roll. My goodness. Our favorite blast from tv past, a bearded markpaul gosselaar, reminiscing about their time shooting saved by the bell. Zach, you cant know what this means to me. Kind of funny. My love of food kind of started a little bitit wh you traveling through europe le it was a paid trip to paris. Do you remember when we went to bordeaux and we had that amazing meal. It was like seven glasses of different type of wine. How old were you . 16. I love her show. She does a great job. Really good job. How about these two costars getting back together . Patricia richardson and tim allen. The Home Improvement couple were reunioned on last man standing. We talked to them on the set of Home Improvement and it was high time we took them back to tool time. Were here tonight taping our 100th episode of Home Improvement. Look at the babies. Oh, my gosh. Thank you, america. I look like my younger brother. Its depressing. Oh, its not that bad, tim. We sho ever taping of Home Improvement back in 1991. Are you saying the cars not running . We now own a 4,000pound fourdoor boulder. It was so much fun on set. We would just crack up, i mean, and just lose it and not be able to get it together. One of the most watched sitcoms of the 90s, the show launched the career of one Pamela Anderson and made tim allen a household name. And when we first met the boys, Jonathan Taylor thomas was 10. Zachary ty brian was 9, and Taryn Noah Smith was all of 7 years old. This is my ship. It was your ship. I see zac quite a bit because he kind of works with my oldest daughter and they kind of hooked up in the production business. I see debbing dunning a lot. Its and tim working together again. Shes reprised her role as tims neighbor on his show, last man standing. We both matured a little bit, but its like being around family. I think you matured a lot. Hes very mature. Very mature. Such a funny show. Thankfully we keep seeing tim in action. Heres something you may know know about Home Improvement. Frances fisher was originally cast as jill taylor. Patricia richardson replaced her just a few days before they shot the pilot. Now on to another classic. Happy days. Did you know that the pilot was called new family in town. But upon its debut, the series became one of the biggest sitcoms of the 70s, and it was also the amazing mind of Garry Marshall. Garry passed away this summer, and everybody got together to pay tribute. You can actually thats mrs. C from happy days, marion ross. Shes one of the many stores from garrys shows, who honored him last month on the new odd couple. What does it mean to you now to be doing a tribute to him . It makes me want to cry right now because first of all, i cant believe that hes not here. He changed all our lives. Your father was a very wealthy man. Crazy, crazy wealthy. Oh, wait. Wrong file. Ron howard, who was richie, showed up as a lawyer, and potsie and ralph mafl, Anson Williams and don most, gifted as patrons in a bar. Some of our happiest days were working for that guy. Is it therapeutic to get back together with everybody again and celebrate him . We were more than actors to him. We were his kids. Garrys played Matthew Perrys dad on the show. In this special episode, his character passed and felix encountered his old pals. I was completely star struck. I watched every episode of happy days that ever was. Im supposed to be kucute, n at letible. For don most, the episode was bittersweet because he was with garry right before he died. I was at the hospital the night before he passed. And there were several other producer writers from happy days there. He was in a coma, but they said he could probably hear us. And we started laughing about stories. And then one of the guys said they saw him open his eyes up. I know he was hearing us, you know. So as sad a time as it was, it was a time to remember and enjoy and share laughs with him even then. He would have wanted us to laugh. You know how he was. So even his passing, people would be smiling. Theyre going to take garrys heart with them through this show. Very well said, anson. A little later in the reunions, including Laverne Shirley. Plus the band is back together. 98 degrees, boyz ii men. Our interview with jon bon jovi, talking about why he says Richie Sambora left the band. The way he did it, nobody appreciated it. And how jon is still embarrassing his cmon in, pop pop happy birthday appreciated it. And how jon is still embarrassing his i survived a heart attack. Im doing all i can to keep from having another one. And im taking brilinta. For people whove been hospitalized for a heart attack. I take brilinta with a baby aspirin. No more than one hundred milligrams as it affects how well it works. Brilinta helps keep my platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. Brilinta reduced the chance of another heart attack. Or dying from one. It worked better than plavix. Like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Tell your doctor about bleeding, new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. Tell me i did not just hear that sheepishly i said you could. Not that you would . Charmin ultra strong with its washclothlike texture, helps clean better than the leading flattextured bargain brand. Its 4 times stronger, and you can use less. It cleans better. You should try it, skidz. We all go. Why not enjoy the go with charmin . Its my life, its now or never welcome back, everybody, to our holiday flashback special. Weve got three things for you to learn about jon bon jovi. You love his music. Y he loves his family and he loves foot. Ball two of those three things allow him to live out every dads dream. Johns son plays for notre dame. Jon watches every single weekend. We got real about his relationship gone wrong, Richie Sambora leaving the banrand. We had no ill will. He just didnt show up for work anymore. Sambora did post this video to jon over the summer. Congratulations on the new single, man. Have you guys talked recently . No. But he sent out that thing saying how much he liked the song, and i responded to it. He never called anyone in the band again for 3 1 2 years, we never saw him again. Its just okay. Your journey took you somewhere else. That single is this house is not for sale, off his most recent album of the same name. Some of the lyrics, living with the ghost, apply to richies departure. You can imagine who the ghost is in the song. You know, being in a rock band is not a life sentence. You choose to share your art, and you do it till the day you choose not to do it any longer. At a friends sons weding, jon had a new singing partner. Sort of shook my hand. Wow, youre going to be a unique version. His own marriage is one of the strongest in show business. Whats the secret . You know, im just a lucky guy. I got it right the first time. Its that simple. And i wouldntra tde it. And their 21yearold son, Jesse Bon Jovi plays football for notre dame. Like you get dressed up. Thats awesome. I got all the notre dame flags a man could ever want. Im just one of the dads. Then the marching band starts playing prayer. Quite a song, dad. Play yours too. Thats kind of cool, but its still got to mess with your head a little bit when it first starts to play. So cool, though. I love their new album, especially the song scars on this guitar. Theres some really good news too. Bon jovi is going back on tour starting february 8th. On the tv, tv casts from the past back together. Is there a reboot in the works . Then our ugly betty reunion. The models were really mean. Are they getting a reboot . And the return of Gilmore Girls with the costars who came back and who didnt. His Olay Regenerist renews from within. Plumping surface cells for a dramatic transformation without the need for fillers. Your concert tee might show your age. Your skin never will. Olay regenerist. Olay. Ageless. And try olay luminous welcome back to our holiday special, everybody. A few Television Cast reunions. Remember ugly betty . It has been ten years since the show that really helped shoot America Ferrera into stardom. Leanne aguilera was with america, reuniting for that special anniversary. My first day shooting on the pilot, we shot the scene where betty comes out in the hot pan oh, my gosh. That was our first scene. Remember like the models were really mean. The cast reunited at the Atx Television festival in austin, texas, hosted by entertainment weekly. I didnt think it was going to be picked up because it was so unique. There was nothing else like it. What was it like having those braces on all those years, america . The hilarity of it is the day we were going to shoot bettys real mouth, my mouth, in rehearsal at 6 00 in the morning, i ran into a mannequin and chipped my tooth. Ugly betty still lives on today, streaming on hulu. But what about a reboot . Would you all be interested in a ugly betty continuation in any form . You know, they get a first look deal on our twohour movie ec right now. Im making this up. One of americas favorite episodes was her tv sister, ana ortiz getting hitched to adam rodriguez. I do. I do. What was it about shooting that wedding that was so emotional for you . Whenever anything emotional happened on the show, it felt like, yes, these characters, but it also was us and our fa e. T. Times and we even captured the cat fight between Vanessa Williams and judith light. Yas, queen. Aww. It was the most fun. And of course because we know each other, we knew that we were going to be safe with each other, so nothing was going to happen. We had such a good time. Now while Leanne Aguilera was down in austin, she also got t talk with some of the cast members from another emmy winning show, friday night lights. The gang got back together ten years later. If we dont apply for this, i think were going to regret it. Ten years from its premiere, cast members reunited at the festival in austin. When it was canceled, there was a huge outcry. It felt to the audience like they were right there with us. To celebrate, they did a little tailgating on theea rl panther field. The memories when you come and see the field all over again. We rode a bus here to get to the actual field, which is what we don whe we were filming. We would get on a bus and drive to set, so it was very nostalgic. I met some of my dearest friends in the world on this show. Because we were in the middle of nowhere on the show, we all became such dear friends. While the cast is still close, they say fans shouldnt expect a reboot. We feel like we kind of caught lightning in a bottle. I think its darn near impossible to do it ai on a good note, and i think that maybe it ought to go, like the stairs behind us. Those are our bleachers. Look at them. They have trees growing on them. Nobody is taking care of this place. I dont understand whats going on. Whos in charge here . This shows pilot episode was actually shot in austin because the man behind the series, peter berg insisted it be filmed in texas. Im glad they decided to film in texas. Now on to a show that was set in connecticut that taped not too far from here in burbank, Gilmore Girls. Now, it gave Melissa Mccarthy her big break 16 years ago, and she came back for the big reunion. Lets break it all down by the numbers. We have limited time. Should we skip the town tour . Well keep it short. The reboot picks up nine years later. We just jumped right back in. I mean it was some days it feels lwe more than 37 cast members returned for the four 90minute episodes. Im not making tater tots. Theyre organic. I saw you grab those mini doughnuts. Put them down right now. Rory starts off single, but she may not stay that way. All three of her love interests return, including her first love from supernatural. The one that got away, matt zukry, and the bad boy, this is us star, milo ventimiglia. Youre still a contender. Its so incredible to have this opportunity creatively to go back to these interactions, you know. Theyre still the same people, but theyve evolved quite a bit. But one favorite fans will miss seeing, ed herman, who paid grandpa richard. He passed away in 2014. His death was written into the reboot. Oh, yes. Isnt it wonderful . Its its his energy was so wonderful. So, you know, we missed him very much. The biggest thing for fans, the final four words. The shows creator said she kept that a secret for ten years. Still, it didnt stop the cast from making suggestions. None of my words were chosen, and i got a little hot under the collar and i started making phone calls, okay . And, you know, i got hung up on. Amy hung up on me. But i felt like i had accomplished something. Now, if you havent yet seen the new one and you want to first binge on the original Gilmore Girls, you can do it. Its just going to take you 110 hours to watch them all. E. T. Holiday special. Its our 90s music flashbacks. New kids on the block.
