WATCH: Lena Dunham And ‘Girls’ Cast Spoof ‘Golden Girls’

“Girls” is wrapping up its final season, and for all of you mourning the loss of Hannah, Jessa, Marnie and Shoshanna, boy, do we have a treat for you.

The cast slipped back into their characters during a reunion on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Wednesday night, in a sketch that explores where their characters end up many, many years down the line. The twist? It’s also one big homage to “The Golden Girls.”

Settle on in for a healthy serving of “Girls” nudity, self-centeredness, grounded absurdity and Elijah just bein’ Elijah. All that’s missing is a Betty White cameo.
