Calling all 90s babies! TGIF is coming back…well, sort of.

Jaleel White is making a brief return as the iconic nerd we loved to hate, Steve Urkel, for an upcoming episode of Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?, set to premiere June 27 on the Boomerang streaming service.

White shared the news on Instagram, writing, “WAiT! ZOOM IN. Scooby and Who?!? Yup. Walked in that booth after 20 years and voiced him like it was nuthin.”

Urkel and the Scooby gang will also be joined by one of Urkel’s many inventions, Urkelbot.

White 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 my daughter STILL thinks she cooler than me.”
