'Ghostbusters' Old And New Reunited On 'Kimmel' Last Night
Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones sat down to plug their new "Ghostbusters" movie on "Kimmel." They were pleasantly surprised when the old band of busters (Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts) came out to support them and reminisce about the old days. Both casts did some cutesy dancing to the theme song and chatted about the film's legacy.

Leslie lightened things up and talked about how she is on the hunt for her ideal man:

Maybe all of this was a grand ploy to convince fans that the movie will actually be good, but isn't that every late late night appearance? Plus, it was darn cute.
