Hey, Hey, It's the Monkees is a one-hour comedy special televised on the ABC Network on Monday February 17, 1997. The show features all four of the original Monkees and would be the last time Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork would appear together. Michael Nesmith wrote and directed the program.
The special features the real now middle-aged Monkees. Some of the music featured in the special came from the quartet's 1996 album Justus; the group also performs a medley of 5 of their biggest 1960s hits; "Last Train to Clarksville", "Daydream Believer", "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone", "I'm a Believer" and "Pleasant Valley Sunday". These songs are shown as performances by the group in 1997, intercut with performances of these same songs from their 1960s television series. As of May 2016, it has not been made available on DVD or Blu-ray, because it isn't an episode of the fictional Monkees.
Game show host Chuck Woolery makes a cameo.
