Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia join forces to create a “This Is Us” rewatch podcast and embark on a stroll down memory lane. A surprise for the fans of the NBC drama This Is Us, with actors Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia getting together, saw them play the much-loved Rebecca and Jack Pearson. The two finally got together for an episode of That Was Us, a rewatch podcast that Moore co hosts with fellow cast members Sterling K. Brown, who plays Randall Pearson, and Chris Sullivan, who portrays Toby Damon. Though, for the fans, it has been over two years since the airing of its series finale, this reunion has definitely brought about a storm of nostalgic excitement.
The Reunion: Sweetness Overload for Fans
On August 28, 2024, Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia starred side by side in a podcast about the on-screen romance that made the NBC show This Is Us such a cultural phenomenon. That Was Us podcast took to its Instagram page to post two side-by-side photos-one from their set on the show and another from the podcast set-in a very nostalgic post. In both shots, a presently pregnant Moore showed off her baby bump, emulating a shot from the show in which her character Rebecca was expecting as well.
“The post was captured with, “#ThisIsUs now and #ThatWasUs then…????,” that summed up the emotional bond the viewers have with the show and its stars. The post instantly went on to win fans over as they were excited to see the actors together again.
A very special episode of the podcast, featuring memories and mementos.
That Was Us with Moore and Ventimiglia was truly special; full of anecdotes, cherished moments, it really was a trip down memory lane. Sterling K. Brown and Chris Sullivan also joined in, really making the set quite lively and warm. In one comical yet touching moment, Brown and Sullivan surprised Moore with Jack’s urn from the series, which made them laugh with fond memories.
In the episode, the cast mentioned a few mementos that they took home from the set of This Is Us when it wrapped up. Mandy Moore mentioned how she kept Rebecca’s moon necklace since the very emotional value it held in the show. Chris Sullivan added that he purchased the Wagoneer, Jack and Rebecca’s car, which symbolizes the couple’s love that outlasts everything else, and now he is driving it. Sterling K. Brown said that he took pictures from Randall and Beth’s house as mementos of his character’s life.
The cast also confessed to taking pieces of their characters’ closets-a natural thing for actors to do, hanging onto tangible memories from the roles they’ve portrayed on screen. Personal mementos provide them with objects that remind them of the time they have invested in portraying the beloved characters.
Ventimiglia’s Continued Affinity for His Faux Family
Fans did not at all expect Milo Ventimiglia to make an appearance on the That Was Us podcast, but based on this, it seems he has kept his relationships with his old This Is Us family very close. This May 2024, Ventimiglia appeared to support his former co-star and onscreen son, Niles Fitch, who played young Randall Pearson, as Fitch graduated from the University of Southern California. Ventimiglia was at the event with Hannah Zeile, who played young Kate Pearson-a further pointer to the close-knit bond that’s in place for all cast members.
Zeile, 26, took to her Instagram and posted a photo of the three where she congratulated Fitch. Her post included emojis to really drive the point across of celebration and affection. She said it all in relation to the respect genuinely built among them while shooting This Is Us. The moment-celebrating and supporting each other-is reflective of how connected they developed while on sets for the series.
This Is Us: A Show Which Touched Hearts
This Is Us first hit the air on NBC in September 2016 and immediately became a cultural phenomenon. Chronicling the lives of the Pearson family in particular siblings Kevin, Kate, and Randall, and their parents Rebecca and Jack, this show’s single way of storytelling with its various time jumps to explain the past, present, and future of the Pearson family was super relatable to those watching.
The show ended in May 2022 with six fully successful seasons and indelible prints on its audience. This Is Us was in charge of honestly representing family, love, loss, and how it really goes down in the struggle of life. With this, ways the show resonated deep inside audiences emotionally made it a display quite unlike any other in modern-day television, as its legacy continued to last.
