John Travolta Says Yes to a 'Welcome Back, Kotter' Reunion

by Jean Bentley, posted Mar 3rd 2011 11:40AM

John TravoltaJohn Travolta is finally ready to reunite with his fellow Sweathogs.

The 'Welcome Back, Kotter' star has RSVP'd yes to the show's 35th reunion, which is scheduled to be held at the TV Land Awards in April, TV Guide reports. Although Travolta's the most famous James Buchanan High alum to say he'll attend, there's still a major piece of the cast who still hasn't signed on: Kotter himself.

Gabe Kaplan has not yet sent his response, according to TV Guide. However, TV Land assured the publication that more cast members will be announced soon.

Here's who's definitely attending: Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, who played Freddie "Boom-Boom" Washington; Ron Palillo, who played Arnold Horshack; and Marcia Strassman, who played Mrs. Kotter. Also unconfirmed is Robert Hegyes, who played Juan Epstein.

Tell us: Would a 'Welcome Back, Kotter' reunion be complete without Mr. K. himself? Which recurring characters do you want to see included?

Alright Mr. Kot-Tear!! Bring it back with or without Gabe. As a matter of fact, that could be the plot. They return for Kotters funeral. (By the way, wheres the pricipal?)

I'm thru with Travolta and his cult belief. I normally don't care about folks religion, but when it comes to abusing children I care. I've read & read about Scientology hoping the things being said was false, but it's not. John should lose custody of his chilldren.

I agree with the cult scientology is crap but hurah for a sweathog reunion. TV needs some old fun entertainment for a change.

Those guys were a hoot. It wouldn't be the same without Kotter and Epstein.

Epstein may wise up and show up if he's smart. LIke what else is he doing? As for Gabe Kaplan as Kotter? hmmmm hopefully he will show up and give us a laugh as he used too. We still love the man.
