ABC said, “The holiday season is the perfect time for families to come together and enjoy another Live in Front of a Studio Audience special on ABC.

Jimmy Kimmel also shared a statement about the special. “Being a part of Norman Lear’s world was a career highlight, and working with great actors on these great shows was so much fun, we couldn’t resist tackling a holiday episode of All in the Family and one of my favorites, Good Times.”
