Gilmore Girls Stars Reunite After 9 Years, Reminisce on Iconic Joke

In a heartwarming reunion, Gilmore Girls stars Lauren Graham and Scott Patterson have come together on the red carpet for the first time in 9 years. The two actors, who played the iconic on-screen couple Lorelai and Luke, reminisced about their time on the beloved show.

During the exclusive interview, Patterson opened up about one particular joke he had trouble delivering as Luke Danes. He explained that while he's a fan of Tom Cruise, he found it "hard to say" the line where Luke tells Kirk, "If I were Tom Cruise, where would you tell me to go or sit? An acting class." Despite the challenge, Patterson acknowledged that this type of "iconoclastic sort of irreverence" was a key element that made the show so beloved by fans.

The Gilmore Girls alum praised the series for being "smart, really funny, and irreverent and heartfelt and small town." He believes people were drawn to the show's refreshing lack of "everybody sucking up to everybody." With its unique blend of humor and heart, Gilmore Girls continues to captivate audiences even years after its conclusion.
