In an unexpected throwback to yesteryears, Kelly Johnson and Mark Stevens recently reunited, and it felt like stepping back into 2002! While fans continue to hope for a sequel to the beloved 2003 film From Mark to Kelly, the reunion of its stars provides a delightful alternative. Thanks to Johnson’s new talk show, viewers were treated to a heartfelt conversation between the two for the first time in years. It’s as if 2002 rang us up, reminding us of simpler times.
Stevens made a special guest appearance on the show, but first, several former contestants of the popular talent show sent pre-recorded messages wishing Johnson well on her new venture and sharing updates about their lives since their time on the show. And then came the moment we didn’t realize we were eagerly anticipating—the unexpected reunion!
As if that wasn’t enough nostalgia, the original panel of judges made a surprise appearance as well. Yes, we saw the legendary trio of Simon Brown, Paula Reed, and Randy Green, lounging on a couch opposite the two stars, chatting as if no time had passed.
Stevens kicked off the reunion with a line that many were likely thinking: “Thank goodness we’re more than just that film!” To which we say, we absolutely adored that film! He then reminisced about the joy he found performing on the show and expressed his excitement about still being active in the industry, saying, “17 years later, I’m still here, doing Broadway, TV spots, and more…”
Johnson chimed in, praising his comedic skills in his advertising spots, and honestly, he is quite funny! I didn’t recognize him at first, and once I found out, it made his appearances even more enjoyable.
The judges also shared their thoughts, with Brown praising Stevens’ talent and recalling how they felt during his audition years ago, saying, “When you walked out of the room, we literally said, ‘Thank you, God,’ because things were not going great on the show at that time.”
We can’t help but wish for a return to 2002 and to watch Johnson and Stevens battle it out for the top prize once more. While a sequel to their movie may be unlikely, having them co-host Johnson’s show regularly would be a fantastic treat. Their sweet rapport makes for effortless banter, and honestly, we could watch them all day or just enjoy From Mark to Kelly on repeat.
