Lauria kicks off the evening with a guest appearance on The Goldbergs, Savage follows with a guest spot on The Conners and McKellar closes out the night when she drops by Home Economics.

ABC will also give a special nod to the iconic Wonder Years theme song originally covered by Joe Cocker that evening ahead of a new episode from its upcoming reimagining.

The half-hour series, premiering Sept. 22, is a coming-of-age story set in the late 1960s that takes a nostalgic look at a Black middle-class family in Montgomery, Alabama, through the point of view of imaginative 12-year-old Dean (Williams). With the wisdom of his adult years, Dean’s hopeful and humorous recollections show how his family found their “wonder years” in a turbulent time.
