Jason Bateman talks "Arrested Development" reunion For the six years following the final episode of "Arrested Development," rumors of a reunion project had been bandied about by fans and the cast alike. But, in truth, few actually believed we'd get another chapter in the story of a wealthy family who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together. Except said son. RELATED - "Arrested Development" cast talks new episodes "It was something that, every month or two since the end of the show, there would be an update about the progress [about some kind of reunion], so it wasn't that big of a shock when it happened, because it always seemed like it was a half a year from happening anyway," Jason Bateman says in the new issue of GQ Magazine. When we did finally all come together on the set, it was pretty neat. I just don't know how many examples there are of that -- where people get to come back and do a reunion-type situation and have it not be a bit of a Hail Mary, career-wise. That show launched a lot of our careers and everyone is doing great, so to come back together while things are going well is really a fortunate situation. Everybody had to be big boys about not making it financially impossible.

But there's one job Bateman would still like that shocked me: talk show host! "Without getting too specific about it, I've thought seriously about it," he tells the mag. I was talking to Amanda [his wife] about, in 20 years -- when the girls go to college and we can finally move to New York, which is what I've been wanting to do forever -- if television will have me, I would love to do that. Regis retired at what, 80? So in 20 years I'll be 64. To host a talk show then, that would be a fun way to do the last bit. For more from Jason's GQ interview, click here!
