• 1:50
  Speaker 1: you think Rory deserves a little more closure than this
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: when how she finds out about that Jess is gone?
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: And I know we're we're going to jump around a
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: little bit, and this jumps in an episode, but what
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: about have there been a situation like this? And how
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: do you feel about how Rory reacts?
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, you know, it's so funny because these days
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I'm more in tuned with like the motherhood part of it,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: like I used to be about the like the Rory,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Like I identified with her, now identifying like as a parent.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: And when I see my son, who's a teen right
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: now going through a lot, I.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Don't want to really dump more on top of like.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: All the finals and the things that he's got going on.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: So I could kind of understand why she was like, oh,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: when is going to be the perfect time to tell
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: her you know that this happened. So, you know, we
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: do our best, but we're not always great as parents.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I think she should have like really sat her down.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: It should have been like an oopsie at a stop light,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And then I just love how they like go through
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the red and they see the motorcycle.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Cop just cover I have, you know, But yeah, I
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: kinda she deserved better. But I also understand, like as
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: a parent, how things can just be like.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, this is how it happened.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right.

  Speaker 1: Luke shows up trying to get lorealized attention in the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: window the kitchen. He confesses to LAURELZ that Jess is
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: gone and he feels like he failed. Poor guy, poor guy.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: He turns away. He has to gather himself, right, he
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: turns poor guy's so he's so stressed. Emily calls Rory,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: decides to go visitor help decide what to wear for graduation.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: She goes after school and meets Selene.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: What a character.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: What a character? Right? Only out of the brain of
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Amy Sherman Palladino could such a character spring? All right,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: let's get to Jess going to Venice, California, getting off
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the bus, kind of an iconic shot of him on
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the beach, kind of in the front of that sand
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: cast on those kids throwing sand in his feet to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: get him to move with the Beach Boys song. And
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: he's just at the end of the earth and it
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel like a new beginning. It feels like I'm
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: even more lost than I have ever been. Perfectly framed,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: no dialogue scene, dreaming at us. What did you think
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: about all this? I found this Asha to be extraordinarily
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable to watch, and I hated Jimmy. I just hated him. Yeah,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I was like you that he can't even say yeah,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: how do you say no to your own kid just
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to crap off to you know? It was just so lame.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: What did you think?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Did you have this? I had this visceral reaction. What
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: about you?
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, especially like I have to clear it with Sasha.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: And Sasha is taking in strays left and right, right, right,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: dogs everywhere, but can't let his own son crash on
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the couch figure out his life. You know, he's not
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: asking for a lot. He wasn't there for him in
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: the first place, Like, can you be there for him?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Now? He's like, I'm just not the dead type. It's like,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: come on, dude, and.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I know they're trying to launch a pilot episode out
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: of this. How on earth are you launching a pilot
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: episode from this with such a horrible character exactly. I mean,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: no redeeming value coming out of this guy. There's no
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: redemption possible here for how he behaves toward his own son.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: It's like, too far, it's too too far gone here this.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I just like, God, I ain't watching that pilot. I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: hate that guy, and I'm not interested to see if
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: he comes around. I mean, what could come of that?
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Sash is pretty cool, right, She's she's he's like, you know,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: she's got the dogs and the cats, and.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: She's she's daughter in the cupboard.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: The daughter in the cupboard reading the books and pretty
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: great library filled with classic books and records and albums.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: It's so great, great little beach shack, which like is
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: probably worth five million dollars right now. Yeah, I mean,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: it's just you know, some great dialogue. But gosh, it
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: was those scenes were so grating to me. It's the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: only you know, I really I mean talk about making
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the audience feel horrible about Jess's plight. Yeah, I mean
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: that's really where it comes home. And it's just like
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: they drive it home like this kid has lost, he's
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: got nothing. His mom's a nut, dad's an ahle.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Wow, Oh he has this his leather jacket's super cool, right,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: their jacket and.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: A hoodie and a hoodie and it's ninety degrees, so
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: he is cool. You got to be super cool to
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: pull that off. I don't say I'm sweat, not a bit,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: not until that last scene like Bagg and his dad
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to let him broke. If that doesn't break your heart,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you're battery powered, right all right? So I think we've
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: discussed how we feel about that as a potential pilot.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: That was rough.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I see what they were trying to do there with
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Dad and the you know, like the kind of polar
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: of the you know, the the gilmourris.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: But firsts, first attritions really important. I don't know how
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you could like and rob ASTs is one of the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: more likable acts you could ever find.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: He's such a nice guy and he's you know, but Jesus, he's.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Just like tormented, like what am I gonna do? My
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: kid could possibly be on the beach all night.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: And I don't know, can I do it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like, oh man, regardless, it's just por chess,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: all right, Lorele Paris, Emily Lorelei gets the Yale letter.

  Speaker 1: Financial aid is rejected because of the seventy five thousand

  Speaker 1: to pay for the chiltern. They don't care at Yale.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: You gotta pay full freight now at Yale, which I
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: guess at that time it was probably what sixty sixty
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: seventy thousand a year.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: That's a plot school in La.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, another complication here.

  Speaker 3: Yeah oops, oops yeah again, Like as a parent, I
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: totally know what that's like.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I've filled out those financial aid forms.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I wanted my kid to go, you know, to their
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: dream schools and and stuff like that, and that.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Is you know a single mom like.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Rough, yeah, all right, Larela has a table with Paris

  Speaker 1: club and.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Throw exactly, they charge all the parents like an extra
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: three four hundred dollars and then they set up their
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: own thing, and then they ask for more money.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: You know, right at the pit, you don't go to
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: a cruise.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: A cruise, that's the only kind of like it seems

• 12:21
  Speaker 2: No? No, not all. I've come and I've come and gone.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: But I could watch them again because just watching it yesterday,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, this is like exactly like I wanted
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: to rewatch and like really get like a you know,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: a feel for it again. And I was like, yeah,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: I really love this. I need to return to it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: And it's something great that you could watch with your kids,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean?
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: And like, right, and that's rare these days.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, it is rare.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about you. Okay, you played
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: one of Rory's Yale friends when she first moved in.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Tell us. How did you get the role?
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, auditions.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I was hitting auditions hard by then, and I really
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: love the writing.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: It's just so good.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Like usually when you see a full monologue you just panic, right,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: You're like, oh, this is.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Gonna be rough.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: But because the writing is so natural and so good,
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: it just flows and it's not hard to memorize because
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: it makes sense. Like to me, it even sounds like
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: when people are kind of rik it, like if you
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: have like an improvisational actor and they're just kind of
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: speaking very naturally themselves. That's how I felt about the
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: language and the focus of.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: That I did.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to think like, yeah, it was just the
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: typical you know, audition callback and then got that I
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: think it was a monologue role.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, had you seen the show previously before the audition? Yeah,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: so you were a fan of the show, you're aware
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: of it, definitely. So this was in this season three,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: so by that time people knew about the show. Oh yeah,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: and we're getting you know, it was like the obsession
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: was beginning right at that stage.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Do you recall at the time in your judgment and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: those around you, did they did they rate this show
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: very highly? Did they say this is a different type
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: of show, this is a very special show.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, people thought, you know, I still think it's
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: very special. I've even done certain things where they'll mention
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: that as one of my credits, like that's the one
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: that stands out, you know what I mean. That makes
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: a difference when you're an actor, Like sometimes they'll be like, well,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know what that is, but they're like, she's
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: from and I did like literally two episodes, two scenes.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I think they were like co star like maybe you know,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: and to still be that says a lot about a show,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: you know, that it keeps it standing. It and even raises,
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: like it gets even more accolades, Like people recognize it
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: even after it's not as you know, like in the
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: circuit right away, you know, and so later they're still
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: thinking about it. I even did, like I do these fundraisers,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: and it's basically raising kids. Uh you know, like they
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: have these kids writing it's called right girl, and they
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: write these stories and then we as actors just act
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: them out really quickly so they can just show the
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: kids like what they you know, like that they can
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: write that it's possible, and we just make that. And
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Kiko was in there as well, and the crowd just
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: went crazy over her and just like, yeah, it's just
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: such a like it just has so many accolades. It
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: just lives on.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those two magic words, right, Gilmore Girls snap their
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: head around? Is that Gilmore Girls actress? The whole airport
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: snaps their head around?
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: You Amazing after all these years, it really is.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: So what do you remember most from your time on set?
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I just remember like just feeling very professional, just being
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: like this is it. This is the reason I came
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: out to Hollywood. This is my dream personified like this.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: It was just such a you know, from wardrobe I
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: love the way they dressed me. I thought it was
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: really cool and sometimes you're just like uncomfortable.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I wasn't they let me wear my natural hair.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: I thought that was amazing and I just I it
• 16:24

  Speaker 3: I just felt so cool and and it was quick,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: you know, they shot it and we were out.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like a lot of like, well, we don't
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: know where this is going and did it.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: It was just like so like the best word I
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: can think of is very professional, you know, right on time.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Did you feel like you'd hit the big time?
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 16:43

  Speaker 1: You know. When it really hit me. It didn't hit
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: me until we did the Netflix episodes in twenty sixteen.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Oh no way.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: And we'd all been away for nine years, and I
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: remember walking on one of the sound stages on the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: first day and the equipment, the cameras, the amount of
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: equipment that was piled into that sound stage and surrounding
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Lorelized House, which was an indoor set if they were
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: shooting the interiors.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Went, oh, wow, this feels like a big budget feature film.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Doesn't feel like a TV show. And I thought, boy,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: this show is this big. And that's when it hit me.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: It hit me in twenty sixteen. When I was doing it,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I was just so used to that. It was like normal, yeah,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: because I'd been on some other like I'd been on Seinfeld,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Will and Grace and that was that was like they
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: set the bar very high and and Gilmore's Gilmore was
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: that so oh yeah, this is this is how professional
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: set is. But yeah, that really just took me aback
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: a little bit. What was it like working with Alexis.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: She's so great her blue eyes. I was just like,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: It's just mesmerizing, you know, and she's just professional again
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: but still sweet, like you still get that you know
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: that sweet little you know when you when you're working
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: a lot of times it's like there's so much going on,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: like you can't be like ha ha, you know, like
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: super like making a lot of noise because it's you know,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: there's people thinking and things are happening, but you can
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: sometimes with another actor, you can just feel that energy,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: even if it's like a two words that they say
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: to you, you're just like, you know what, a sweetheart
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: and yeah, I always got good vibes from her, always,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: always Yeah.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: So you went on to have a recurring role on
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Friday Night Lights. How did this Gilmore role prepare you for? That?
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Very very great question.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: So, because I had done that type of model, my
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: first scene on Friday Night Lights was a big monologue
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: and I remember being in the audition room and there
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: was a ton of girls there and I.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Was like, nope, this is this is mine.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Like this sorry, I'm you know, it's great that you
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: guys are here, but this is mine.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: It was a huge monologue.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: I had done that on Gilmore Girls, with cameras, with directors,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: with everyone in.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: My face and just sticking with it.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: So having that professional experience, especially with such a large
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: amount of dialogue, it wasn't just like a hey, it.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Was just like it was just what on and on?
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: I felt very confident about it, and I, you know,
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I when I saw Friday Night Lights, I came in
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: like a couple episodes later, and I remember seeing like
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: the picture on the bus of Friday Night Lights, and
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: I was like, I would love to do a show
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: like that. And I didn't contact my manager or find
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: out who the casting person was. I just kind of
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: left it at that, and then it just kind of happened.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: And I think Gilmore Girls doing that type of stuff
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: gave me the confidence to know that what's what's meant
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: for me is meant for me, and it's going to
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: happen the way you know it's supposed to happen, and
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: I don't have to push. I don't have to you know,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: that's just how how life is supposed to be.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: So right, and you worked on other shows, you are
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Gray's Anatomy, South and Nowhere Drunk History. How does it
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: compare to Gilmore oh Man?
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Gilmore was more like, I don't.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: I just want to say cerebral, like especially if I
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: want to compare it to My Friday, my Drunk History,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: if I want to compare Gilmore Girls to my Drunk
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: History days, Like drunk History is just so silly, you know.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: They would I would.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Play a wolf one day, and then I'm an old
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: man and then I'm, you know, a starlet, Like I
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: would just get to play all these crazy characters every
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: day and we had a celebrity.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was an amazing a.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Lot of fun and we had a different huge celebrity
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: every single day. But because I had that experience on Gilmour,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: all those you know, like being around celebrities, still holding
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: my own, not getting in the way, not being over
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: like oh my god, this is so and so you know,
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: having that experience really like that makes you a great ensemble,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: you know, person because you don't get so flushed and
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: having that professional background was awesome. I just I loved
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: my experience so much. I remember people those are the
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: that's the show where like people will call you and
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: be like I saw you, I saw you on this
