“What the hell is going on here? #taxi” Lloyd wrote on Instagram.

After posting the reunion pic, Tony Danza also tweeted another photo of a more complete cast reunion, when the cast of Taxi attended the premiere of the Broadway show Honeymoon in Vegas in 2015, which Danza starred in.

It’s heartwarming to see these old castmates back together again — and a reminder of how many legendary careers were launched by Taxi.

Also absent from the reunion was Marilu Henner, who starred as Elaine on Taxi and has since co-starred in many films and TV shows.

Sadly, two of Taxi‘s principal cast members have passed away: pioneering comedian Andy Kaufman, who played Latka Gravas on the sitcom, died in 1984.

Jeff Conaway, who played struggling actor Bobby Wheeler in the show’s first four seasons and is also known for playing Kenickie in Grease, died of pneumonia with sepsis in 2011 at the age of 60. Conaway had struggled with drug addiction for many years.
