As favorites like Full House and DuckTales have been resurrected from the grave, black audiences have waited impatiently to revisit some of our most beloved television characters.

Thankfully, we’ll finally get a long overdue dose of nostalgia, as Jaleel White took to Instagram to announce he’ll be reprising his role as Steve Urkel for an upcoming episode of Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? on the streaming service Boomerang.

He added, “Hanna Barbera once gifted me an animation cell I have til this day. To be ON screen with Scoob And Shaggy solving a mystery is #Bucketlist stuff 🙏🏽 Enjoy!”

And yes, he’ll be bringing Urkelbot along for the ride.

The 42-year-old actor also shared an image confirming additional guests set to appear on the series, such as NBA star Chris Paul, singer Halsey, and Saturday Night Live comedian Kenan Thompson.

Since Family Matters ended its run in 1998, White has hosted the game show Total Blackout and starred in Me, Myself & I on CBS.

I’m still holding out hope for a proper Family Matters reboot, but Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? premieres on Thursday.
