What, no castmates?! George Clooney donned Dr. Doug Ross’ white coat for an ER reunion on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, February 2.

Referring to himself in the third person with a deadpan face, Clooney insists that they continue without the other cast members: “When George Clooney commits to an ER sequel…”, he says.

“This was kind of a last-minute thing, and we had some trouble getting the whole cast of “E.R.’ to come”, Kimmel said”.

While filming The Good Wife kept Clooney’s former onscreen love interest Marguilies away, Taco Tuesday at the Wylie household proved more important. Eric LaSalle had jury duty.

Clooney got his big break on NBC medical drama, which ran for fifteen years from 1994 to 2009. “I don’t even remember what that is!” replied Laurie.

As Kimmel’s “Little Jimmy” went into organ failure, Clooney and Laurie returned as their old characters-Dr. But when Dr. Ross needed the assistance of his co-workers, no one was there.

“He’s crashing!” Laurie proclaimed, before the pair of them trotted out their best array of medical terminologies!

With Clooney reciting the lyrics to Sugar Hill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” – and Laurie providing some smooth dance moves – the ailing Kimmel is brought back from the dead, prompting Dr. House to proclaim that hip hop saved the late night host’s life.
