The moment the words “Gossip Girl here” filled the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall during the 2025 SAG Awards tonight, millennials everywhere knew what was coming. Host Kristen Bell—who voiced the iconic Gossip Girl on the late-aughts teen drama of the same name—brought back her signature (and iconic) voiceover to give the SAG audience a bit of unusual gossip.

“Hey, everyone, Gossip Girl here,” the V.O. began. “One of my sources, LeMee86, sends me this: ‘Spotted at Table 8: Jeff Goldblum has a Wicked appetite. And a peek behind the curtain reveals he likes his green eggs with ham.”

Laughing, Bell then introduced the cast of Conclave. And while Conclave’s drama is certainly worthy of a Gossip Girl dispatch (or, frankly, several), how many more awards shows do we need to watch before Gossip Girl gets a reunion special? Now that Meester will appear in the next season of the Netflix comedy Nobody Wants This—starring Bell and Meester’s husband, Adam Brody—surely it’s just a matter of time.
