Gilmore Girls Gazette: Lauren Graham and Melissa McCarthy are BFF Goals!

I am all in. Again! Gilmore Girls Gazette with Amy Sugarman and Danielle Romo. An iHeartRadio podcast.

Hello, hello, hello. How are you doing today? So sorry.

I was doing a deep dive on something we're going to talk about this week on Listen If You Want To. So I'll save that for tomorrow. So much Gilmore. I'm getting excited that Danville Gilmore thing is happening soon. And I think it's going to be pretty popular.

Is it this week or two weeks from now?

Somewhere around 23, 24. Oh, we still got some time. So it's a couple weeks away. But yeah, and they added another session, I think, with... Kelly Bishop. It seems popular.

I love it. Can I tell you something?

Danville.

I mean, you guys have no idea. Danville.

It's like so random. This is putting Danville on the map. Let's just say that. It really is. This morning, I got an Amazon box. I opened it up.

And my Gilmore Girls little people arrived.

They're really cute.

They're so cute. So I opened them. Obviously, I mean, I have toddlers. They don't know what Gilmore Girls is.

But I opened them up just to see, like, what my kids would gravitate towards. The baby immediately picks up Emily, just shoves Emily in his mouth, just.

Starts chewing up on Emily. Nice, nice.

And my three-year-old is more intrigued. He's, like, actually looking at these characters.

And he was.

Obsessed with Rory because Rory's in her Chilton uniform with a backpack. And Mateo goes, Mama— Does she go to school?

I'm like, yeah, she goes to school. So he was upset.

The detail is amazing. And the Lorelei's wearing my Halloween costume. I've really been working so hard on my Halloween costume. So I have all the parts. Oh, I forgot. I also am going to have to have someone send up the, I have the very similar to the coat she's wearing, but it's in LA. So I'm going to have to have someone send it up to me. And then I got the shirt. I just am still, and I got the boots. I'm just still working on the jean shorts.

I don't have to.

I've tried three pairs and none are quite right. They're like too short or too tight.

You're going to have to send us pictures. I cannot wait to see this.

No one will know who I am except for the people that know.

Except for everyone.

I mean, the cool thing is, is that you have brown hair and blue eyes.

So you're really, really doing the part.

I can pull it off pretty good. I don't, you know, my best, but I got to get the right shorts.

Yeah, I get that. I get that.

It's key. It's key.

You know what else was announced today or happened today, rather?

I actually don't know.

Tickets on sale for Gilmore Girls holiday.

I almost said, first of all, how could I have not known exactly what you were talking about?

I know.

Can someone give me the exact dates? It's December 12th through... January 3rd. Oh, my gosh.

I know.

That's a long time.

And Scott's going to be there every day.

Every single day. He is committed.

We're doing a podcast every day.

You know, usually he goes to... Somewhere snowy.

I know, but he's had to cancel that the last two years.

And he's like, you know what?

Nah, I'm canceling. He likes to go skiing, but yeah, he hasn't been able to do it in two years.

Oh, well, he's dedicated.

I love it. The coolest part's, okay, did they have Luke's apartment last year? Or is this going to be the first year?

They did not have, they had the diner.

I think they talked about it, but then they didn't maybe end up doing it. And, or it's going to be in the exact location. I don't remember if it was.

It is completely new this year.

Was it there last year, Jackie?

It was not.

No.

Stars Hollow High was full of merchandise, and now they're going to put the merchandise on a stage.

And then they're adding something else. What else are they adding? They're adding the basket auction.

They're adding Chilton graduation ceremony.

Stop it. Stop it. You can bid on the basket. Oh, my gosh. They should make the basket that you can actually bid on with the exact thing that the people put in the basket.

You know, I love a silent auction. I love a silent auction.

I'm happy to hear that. This is not a silent auction though. This is, it's a loud auction. I don't know what, yeah, because remember they were bidding.

So you have to like, but it's real, right? These people are getting something.

We don't know how they're going to do it, but it sounds like it's going to be cool.

And then they're adding, you can graduate from Chilton.

Yeah. Stop.

Like a ceremony.

They're expanding the Emily Richard estate for like Heartbrook Society.

So we have to figure out what day we're all going to go. Because unfortunately, I have a conflict on the 12th.

I was going to say, shouldn't we be there the first day?

I know, but I can't be there that day. And you know what else is new?

Tell us.

They're going to have a Luke's only, like you know how we all love that Luke's logo.

Mm-hmm.

And everybody loves the Luke's logo. They're going to have a Luke's only store for merchandise. Oh.

What?

That's a big deal. They don't even have that for Lorelai or Rory.

No, but you know what? It makes sense because they had it for like the Chilton store.

Oh, I guess. I guess.

You know, like then each store was sort of themed. Yes. And now it makes sense. They could have all kinds of dinery things.

That's so like plates and- cups and forks. Oh, I love it.

The mugs, the mugs. I can't wait. Oh yeah. We were talking about what day we're all going to go and we have a conflict. Well, I do on the 12th. So we need to figure out what day.

So I have a proposal because you have a conflict on the 12th.

We as a show have a.

Conflict on the 13th and 14th, technically 15th.

So maybe we do the 16th.

We do?

Yeah.

Our whole team is not going to be here on the 14th.

Where are they going?

There's Jingle Ball DC.

Oh, they're going to another Jingle Ball. Okay, great. What time?

Either we do the 16th or the 17th.

Let's look at our calendars rather than make everyone listen to us go through our schedules. You're right. You're right. You're right. Maybe we do that, you know, just us, and then we'll come back. Just us. Just, you know, I could go through my dentist appointments with everybody, but they might not be excited by that.

Yeah, you're right.

Actually, I think I have a dentist appointment today that I just no-showed.

Oh, no. Okay, well, we'll get there one of those, probably one of those days.

Definitely one of those days. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're going to make it happen.

Yeah. Okay.

Big, big, big news.

We were talking about the Variety Power Woman issue. Remember, last week we were talking about it with Melissa McCarthy on the cover.

I have two quick notes. Lauren's dress, amazing, and her glasses, amazing.

Totally. Amy buried the lead here, but that night.

They had this like big gala of sorts and Lauren Graham presented Melissa McCarthy.

Yeah.

And yes, Lauren Graham's dress was stunning. Melissa McCarthy's dress was stunning.

Really good. Her hair was also super cool.

Everything was super cool. I love these two.

You can just, you know, when you have a bad day, these are like the girlfriends you want to call.

That's what they feel like.

Like call Lauren and call Melissa.

You're going to laugh. You're going to have a good time.

Yeah, they talked about having a cowboy themed Christmas party and I would like to go to that.

That is epic. That is so epic.

You know, someone that shan't be named is having her rehearsal dinner or like the welcome dinner, I think has a cowboy theme. Am I right about that? We're both going. We're both going to a wedding and I think the Friday night theme. What is it? Is it called like, is it like a hoedown?

No.

How do you say it?

No, definitely not.

But I was wearing cowboy boots to it.

What is the theme? I don't think that's, that's, that's what you should be wearing.

What?

I'm pretty sure I'm right.

Mm-mm.

I literally am sure she told me that.

No, and the reason why I'm saying this is because I bought this dress and I sent it to her and she goes, oh, that looks really cute. You should wear that to my cocktail party or my welcome party.

What?

I was wearing leopard with cowboy boots. Am I messing this up?

You should definitely not wear cowboy boots.

I swear she told me this.

Maybe, then maybe she just.

Why are we, again, I want everyone to listen.

Should we call her really quick?

Yeah. I'm like, can you jump in the Zoom?

I'll just put her on.

I literally... How do you get her to come on this?

Kendall, we have a question.

What is your welcome party theme? It's mountain chic cocktail attire.

Okay. Mountain chic cocktail attire.

Why did I think it was.

It's like you're supposed to be cute.

Like, not cute. Amy's outfit is cute. But she should not be wearing cowboy boots to this. She should be wearing heels, correct?

Some people are wearing boots.

Some people are wearing heels.

Some are wearing hats. Some aren't wearing hats. Right, some are wearing hats.

Amy goes, it's like a hoedown theme. I was like, it is not a hoedown theme.

Well, I was wearing a leopard dress with cowboy boots. Is that a no? No, look. You said people are wearing hats, like cowboy hats? Yeah, I texted you a Pinterest I made.

Do you see that? That's cute and fancy.

Okay, well, I'm glad we've had this conversation. This is why people need to read the font.

Print.

My leopard dress stands. You can wear a leopard dress.

Yeah.

My leopard dress with like the coats works. Yeah. So now I just got to work on my shoes.

Wow.

Okay. Well, I was maybe going to wear the leopard dress to the wedding too. So I don't know. Mountain Chic? What is it? Mountain Chic? Mountain Chic cocktail attire. I think that people are going to need more explanation. I don't know that people know what Mountain Chic is.

That's why I provided the Pinterest link. Oh.

Because Tahoe, Mountain Chic is Tahoe, and that means jeans.

Oh, God, no, but cocktail attire. Jackie was right.

Mountain Chic cocktail attire feels Aspen to me, and this is very Aspen.

Like we have a lot of moms going to Kimo Sabe to get their hats.

Is that in LA or is it only in Aspen?

Are you recording right now? Yes. You're on the air. You're on Gilmore Girls Gazette.

Yeah.

That's what my look was. That's literally what my look was. That is. So Danielle, I'm right here. My boots with my leopard dress completely work. Mountain chic. The whole thing of mountain is boots. Okay, well, we've bored everybody so much today with our dentist appointments and our scheduling and now our outfits to something that has no Gilmore Girls connection whatsoever. Good job, Kendall. You know what?

This is what Lorelei would wear.

This is what you get.

Oh, yeah.

Well, actually, it was because they had a cowboy Christmas. Now, I think at a cowboy Christmas, you could definitely wear denim on denim. Right.

I agree.

I'm glad we had this conversation because I almost was going to wear a denim dress. My God.

Yeah, no, it's kind of fancy. And I got the clue because I had sensed something.

I forget for what. Oh, I remember. Whatever. I'm not going to bore these people with it. I'm not going to. Yeah, let's just move on. Move on.

Let's talk about Melissa McCarthy's talents. Whether she was playing a character who for no reason chugged ranch dressing or her character who warned you about the E. coli levels of your taco dish from Taco Bell. She made it work. Was that in Gilmore Girls? no dressing on Saturday night live oh my god so that was a Lauren quote that we just read the characters were so original and inventive sorry the characters were so original and invented I don't know what that means and they were so so funny Maybe she said inventive. That's okay. We're messing up her quote now. I wondered how the business of the world would ever discover and find a way to embrace the incredible range she had. The world and the business

figured it out. Oh, that's very nice.

That is nice.

She also talks about how Gilmore Girls, she's talked about this. It was one of her first ever steady jobs.

Right.

Oh, and she always stole Lauren's light, which was hilarious.

And she said, I rarely, if ever, hit my mark. And I think that's probably why it was so magical.

Yeah.

So funny.

We love you, Melissa. We love you.

Oh, and we got some little insight into the documentary, which I did.

Oh, yeah.

Did you see that reporter ask about Mark Ballas? And you could see Lauren.

I don't want to speak for her, but at first she was like, who.

Is Mark Ballas? But then she came back strong because it did seem like she does watch Dancing with the Stars. Or she's just real good at answering questions.

I think it was one of those that it's like, oh, you know Eric? He volunteers at the soup kitchen. And you're like, yeah.

Oh, my God.

I love Eric.

That's when you go in your mind, Eric, Eric, Eric.

I had no idea. I do that every day.

Every day. Oh, my God.

But yeah, she was saying that they're in the middle of shooting the documentary.

They have filmed a little bit.

Yeah. And she said she thought maybe there wasn't more to tell. And then now she's realizing there is.

She said it was quite emotional. Pretty emotional is her exact quote.

She also talked about, and I don't know where this was, People Magazine, I think, where she taught, oh, this was for her Bob's Red Mill, which we haven't tried yet.

I know.

We need to try that.

I got to get that. I'll try and put it in my Safeway cart.

That was banana bread of sorts, right?

Yeah.

Gluten-free banana bread.

I'll try it.

We really got to try that. She said people really didn't care for when Rory and Lorelai were not speaking. You remember when they were in the fight? I agree. That was the one that people were.

Like, I don't like that. Yeah, I didn't like that.

I didn't either.

I didn't mind it. I didn't mind any storylines, to be honest. People, like, have so much passion, and I was, like, sort of just bumping along, enjoying the whole thing. I never really, like, threw a flag on an entire storyline.

Yeah, you have. Are you... No, I didn't bother. You're having amnesia. Yes, you.

No, I didn't hate April.

You were so upset about how.

Well, I guess you're more upset with what the fans thought.

Thank you. Thank you, Danielle.

You are correct.

Okay, I'll give that to you.

They were so mad at Luke when I was like, uh... I'm not mad at him. I'm not mad at her. I'm just bumping along.

Just enjoying the show.

Yeah, exactly.

Well, the rest of the New York Times 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century, that list is fully out. And probably your favorite show is in the top 10, if not the top.

No, that's not my favorite show.

Breaking Bad? What was the one that you liked?

Walking Dead.

Walking Dead. Walking Dead.

It has sort of a same beat to it. Breaking Bad.

Walking Dead.

But they're not the same in any way. One, I think, is about drugs and one is about zombies.

Right.

So Breaking Bad is at number one.

I don't care for this top 10.

I don't either.

The Wire is at number two. At number three, Mad Men. At number four, Succession. Number five, Fleabag. Number six, Game of Thrones. Number seven, Veep. Number eight, 30 Rock. Number nine, Curb Your Enthusiasm. And number 10, Atlanta.

Atlanta.

I'm like not passionate. It's Donald Glover. Oh, okay. What's his other name?

It's at the tip of my tongue. Come on.

Somebody.

Donald Glover. And then when he's on stage, he's something, something.

Oh, my God.

Childish Gambino. Thank you. Childish Gambino. Did you know I didn't know Diplo and Major Lazer are the same person, kind of?

Well, Major Lazer's a band.

Right, but Diplo's in it.

Not a band.

I didn't know that.

I would like to jump in to defend Breaking Bad.

No it doesn't we understand that Breaking Bad is a great show but number one really.

Right and The Wire who has seen The Wire.

I don't know but I what's the one where they're all in prison Oz I want to watch that too maybe I don't know who's the star of The Wire I don't know.

If this is more of a reflection on me I have not seen any of.

These shows.

Where's Real Housewives of Orange County on this.

I've seen a bunch of Curb Your Enthusiasms it is good I've seen a couple Mad Men's, which I should probably go do. I've seen some succession. I've seen bits and bobs of each of these, but never the whole thing. Dominic West. I thought he was the star of The Wire. I do like him. Wasn't he in The Affair? Let me see some of these others. Friday Night Lights, number 14.

That was a good show. The Americans I need to try again on. Chernobyl was very good. White Lotus.

White Lotus is good. I love White Lotus.

It is, but like Schitt's Creek, 34. That's a good show. I don't, The Pit, 36. Aggressive that it's getting in the list and it's like only been on a little bit. Battlestar Galactica. There's some Homeland. Look, there's some good shows in here. Can somebody like print this out for me so I can go through it and just start watching them all? That's going to be like kind of a good, you know, thing where I just try.

And watch a little of each of them. I did like that show. That was funny.

Which one? Pen15. Pen15.

Oh, yeah. Well, girls, I like that. There's a lot on here that I like. The Good Wife. Yep, we talked about that. Handmaid's Tale. But number 67 should be higher.

Lost at number 22.

That's high because it really jumped the shark there after a bit.

Yeah, it did.

It was good. It started off so good and then it got weird.

Interesting.

I don't see The Walking Dead in here, guys. Well, that's insane then. That's like completely insane.

Yeah, I don't see it either.

I don't either and that's insane. How dare they? Nope, not fun. Who did this variety? New York Times. Time Magazine? New York Times.

Can someone print this for me?

I'd love a copy. Thank you. Wow. Well, hmm. We really got off topics today, but.

Yeah, that's all right.

You know?

That's all right.

Every once in a while. Well, we got to do what we got to do. We started off strong with our Gilmore News. Why don't I see your face? Oh, there you are.

Okay.

Never mind. My face?

Never mind.

Ignore me.

I can't wait to listen if you want to this week. Please tune in.

There's a lot. There's a lot to talk about.

It's like, I have to figure out how to talk about that case and that trial.

Right.

I need to brush up on it. I know all the text messages and all.

That kind of stuff. There's so much insanity in it. And like, I want to be respectful because it's a tragedy.

Right.

It is a tragedy. Well, at the same time, I'm like, what's happening?

Right.

What's happening? Oh, man. Well, until then. Bye-bye.

That's the news. Hey everybody, don't forget, follow us on Instagram at I am all in podcast and email us at Gilmore at I heart radio.com.
