'All in the Family' and 'The Jeffersons' to be rebooted for one-night special: All the details

What would Archie Bunker think of 2019? We're about to find out.

Carroll O'Connor's blue-collar character will get new life from Woody Harrelson, who will star in a live TV reboot special of "All in the Family" and "The Jeffersons." By his side will be Marisa Tomei as Edith Bunker, while Jamie Foxx and Wanda Sykes will take over as George and Louise Jefferson.

Norman Lear, 96, who created both shows, will co-host the special — "Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman Lear's 'All in the Family' and 'The Jeffersons'" — with Jimmy Kimmel in May on ABC.

Many say “these two shows were meant for the ’70s and would not work today,” Lear said in a statement. “We disagree with them and are here to prove, with two great casts depicting ‘All in the Family’ and ‘The Jeffersons,’ the timelessness of human nature."

More famous faces are expected to appear, including Will Ferrell, who's already slated for an unspecified role. Ferrell is also one of the special's executive producers. "Cheers" co-creator James Burrows will direct.

All four lead actors in the original shows — O'Connor, Jean Stapleton, Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford — have passed, but other co-stars are still with us today. Sally Struthers played the Bunkers' daughter Gloria while Rob Reiner played her husband Michael, a progressive liberal who never failed to grate on his father-in-law's nerves.

The 90-minute live special will air May 22 on ABC.
