The former (and soon-to-be future) co-stars reunited at Sunday night's ceremony and gave the audience a good dose of nostalgia when Bell's voice came over the loudspeakers. "Hey everyone, Gossip Girl here," she began. "One of my sources, Lainey86, 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. And look who it is, not-so-lonely boy TimothĂ©e Chalamet sitting next to a hot steak, medium rare, au poivre, with a side of broccoli."Â
The camera then cut to Bell reading from her phone while squatting next to Meester backstage. "Leighton, none of this is gossip, it's just all about food," she hilariously exclaimed, to which Meester responded, "I'm sorry, I'm just really hungry," as she took a bite out of a piece of bread.Â

Bell voiced Gossip Girl for all six seasons of the original series, while Meester played Blair Waldorf, Serena's (Blake Lively) best friend and "Queen B" of the Upper East Side. Soon, the two will reunite again on-screen when Meester joins Bell and her husband, Adam Brody, on season 2 of the hit Netflix series Nobody Wants This. According to Variety, Meester will have a guest-starring role as Abby, who is described as âJoanneâs (Bell) middle school nemesis who is now an Instagram mommy influencer."

When asked about Meester joining the show, Bell said she thinks she will make a "wonderful addition" to the already close-knit cast. "This cast is really close, we have a very active text chain, sometimes too active, a lot of people making jokes and I mean folding Leighton into it just seems natural and wonderful,â she said while speaking with Extra.
