Riffing on [_The Golden Girls_](http://time.com/4675205/betty-white-golden-girls-aids/), the _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_ skit shows what the cast is like as senior citizens — and from the looks of it, not much has changed. Sure, the girls might have a few more wrinkles and gray hair, but Hannah’s still eschewing clothing while writing for the nursing home’s paper, Marnie’s still having control issues while hooking up with a 90-year-old musician, Shosh has a bedazzled Hello Kitty walker, and Jessa’s on a steady diet of cigarettes and recreational morphine. In short, it’s the epilogue _Girls_ fans have been dreaming of — watch the hilarity ensue above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4728633/girls-hbo-golden-girls-spoof/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4728633/girls-hbo-golden-girls-spoof/"},"headline":"Lena Dunham and the Girls of Girls Are Still Figuring It Out in This Golden Girls Spoof","datePublished":"2017-04-06T17:54:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:42:36.285Z","description":"Definitely NSFW","url":"https://time.com/4728633/girls-hbo-golden-girls-spoof/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","lena dunham","Late Night","Jimmy Kimmel"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt995fa8e9b5137bbf/6988c1b34dd2157b36efe6cb/girls-hbo-jimmy-kimmel-golden-girls-spoof.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt995fa8e9b5137bbf/6988c1b34dd2157b36efe6cb/girls-hbo-jimmy-kimmel-golden-girls-spoof.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The New York Premiere Of The Sixth & Final Season Of \"Girls\" - Arrivals","caption":"The New York Premiere Of The Sixth & Final Season Of \"Girls\" - Arrivals","creditText":"Jamie McCarthy—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4728633/girls-hbo-golden-girls-spoof/","name":"Lena Dunham and the Girls of Girls Are Still Figuring It Out in This Golden Girls Spoof"}}]}] ```
