"The Goldbergs" will pay homage to the classic 1983 film National Lampoon’s Vacation in its annual fall tribute premiere episode on September 25.

Christie Brinkley and Anthony Michael Hall have been tapped to guest star in the episode.

In “Vacation”, Beverly (Wendi McClendon-Covey) insists the family take a road trip to go on vacation to Disneyland in Anaheim, California, before Erica (Hayley Orrantia) and Barry (Troy Gentile) go off to college. But, like the film, things do not go as planned as they travel across the country.

Meanwhile, Erica worries more and more about her relationship with Geoff (Sam Lerner) when he teases “we need to talk” and won’t tell her anything until the family returns from their adventure.

Christie Brinkley on reprising her National Lampoon’s Vacation role on The Goldbergs: "I think this is a really good reprisal right here"

Brinkley says she's only reprised her iconic "Girl in the Red Ferrari" 1983 role a few times, excluding the 2015 Vacation movie reboot. "I think that there are so many similarities in that family — they’re overcoming obstacles and they don’t want to admit how much they love each other but they love each other so much," she says of reprising the role for tonight's season premiere.
