Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell gave Emmy viewers some ‘90s nostalgia on Monday night when the Good Burger duo staged a surprise reunion.

The moment went down during a segment involving Kumail Nanjiani, who served as the evening’s “honorary bartender.” Kenan was ordering a drink in between awards when he noticed a man with his head on the counter.

“Why don’t you take this guy’s order over here,” Kenan said meandering over to the face-down patron. “Excuse me, sir? Can we get you a drink or something?”

Kel then revealed himself to be the man at the bar, while the audience erupted into applause.

“You know what? Can I get a Good Burger,” he replied.

“Make it two Good Burgers,” Kenan quipped, before the pair dove into some Kung Fu.

Fans of the duo took to Twitter to share their excitement at seeing their childhood idols back in action.

“Kenan and Kel reconciling make my inner child feel so happy,” wrote one fan on Twitter, while another added, “Omg Kenan and Kel! Can I get a Good Burger?! This just made my little 90s kid heart so happy!”

Elsewhere in the evening, Succession walked away with Best Drama, while The White Lotus snagged Best Limited Series. Ted Lasso won Best Comedy, and Zendaya snagged Outstanding Lead Actress In a Drama Series for her performance in Euphoria.
