Um, so you 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.600 you joined season four as Rory's Yale sweet mate Janet, 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.120 and had you been watching the show before you got 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:17.680 the part? Had you been watching this show? Honestly, I 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.040 had not been, however, Um yeah, I didn't even own 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:22.880 a TV at the time, Like I was fresh out 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.720 of college. Um, the summer prior to moving to l A. 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:28.400 I hadn't even moved to l A when I booked 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:30.560 this role. But that's another story. I had worked with 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:34.280 Lauren Graham in a play at the Williamstown Theater Festival, 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:38.200 so Lauren and I had already become friends just organically, 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.440 and I had never seen Gilmore Girls. So I actually 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.120 didn't even I didn't know who she was, Like, I 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.680 didn't know, you know, but then I knew she was amazing, um, 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.800 you know, like in the play and everything, and we 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.600 became friends. And then I moved to l A. And 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.720 then when I got this, I was like, oh my god. 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:54.880 She was like hey, Katie, Katie, like at the table 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.359 read it was kind of funny. Um. But yeah, no, 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.520 I had never seen Okay, all right, when was the 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.720 last time you watch a show? Just for our the 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.800 last time? The last time I saw it. I did 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:08.200 watch it, by the way, after I was on it, 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.359 I was like I better definitely. Um. The last time 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.560 I had seen it my niece was watching it. So 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.800 that was probably about two gotcha. Tell us a little 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:18.880 bit about how you got the role of the audition process, 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.480 the whole, the whole deal. This is a fun story. Um. 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.400 I came out to l A. I was I was 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.040 in New York doing theater, um, and my agent was like, 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:30.960 you should come out for like a pilot season, and 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.079 I'm like okay, And I came out and my first 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.960 audition was for the Gilmore Girls spinoff, and so it 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:40.160 was the one with Milo and the dad and um, 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.800 and I ended up testing for it and I remember 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:47.240 going into before the test the callback with Amy Sherman Palladino. 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.880 She was like, that was great, do it ten times fast, 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.120 and so I was like okay. And I've always been 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.840 a fast talker, so that came pretty naturally. And then 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:56.800 I tested for it. I didn't get it. I was 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.920 so sad. Amy had called my agent at the time 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.800 and said, um, you know a little I'm obsessed with Katie. 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.280 I'm going to give her a role. And I thought, oh, yeah, right, 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.840 like okay, thank you, you know, but agent told me 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.680 it didn't mean anything at the time. Um. And so 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.240 six months had passed. I hadn't actually thought about, you know. 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.520 I was in l A, just kind of auditioning and whatever, 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.920 and I get a call that I have an audition 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:24.800 for a guest star in Gilmer Girls. So I was like, 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.680 oh cool, okay. So I go in. Everyone's there, all 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.640 the producers. Amy's like, how are you? Tell me what's new? 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.280 And I do it, and I do the guest star. 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.480 I think it's like a very small guest star. Um. 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.159 And the next day my agent calls me and says, 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:43.400 so you didn't get the guest star and I was like, oh, okay, 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:47.279 and he goes Amy wrote a role like for you, 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:52.159 role of Rory's new roommate at Yale, and I was 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.440 like what, Like, I literally that. I just remember being 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.279 in the street being like, I like you so excited. 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.279 He's like, yeah, like she kept her miss like he 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.800 didn't have auditions for that role. She created it for you. 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.599 And I was like what, Like, you know, it's like 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.800 mind blowing. And I was so young, so like I 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.880 just was in this pure disbelief and that was really 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.080 my first prime time gig other than like a New 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:18.960 York Law and Order, you know. So I was like, 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.800 I was so excited. I yeah, so you did eight 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.400 episodes and when you got the role, did they tell 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:30.200 you how many you would be in? They didn't. They 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.479 actually didn't, and I actually end up doing nine and 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.800 one of for some reason, I don't know if Olivia 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.039 Hack she and I end up getting cut from that 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.600 episode for some reason, the graduation episode, and we were 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:46.440 like what happened? Um? But but yeah, what they didn't 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:47.720 tell me. No, They just said I was going to 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.960 be recurring throughout the season. So I was like, Okay, 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.200 all right, So they created this role for you today. 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.240 Did you relate to the character at all? There any 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:58.440 similarities between you? I did not, because you didn't because 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.720 you didn't know. I mean, right do you? Ay created 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.800 a role for Yeah, and it was like this exercise 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.800 addict and like, yes, I've always been thin, but like 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.160 I was, like I was like a skinny you know, 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.839 coffee and cigarettes in New York at the time, you know, 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.160 like I didn't. I didn't know from X I wasn't 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:17.880 like the health that I am actually now. And I 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:19.640 feel like that role actually played a big part in 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:23.000 getting me healthy and moving to l A. Yeah. I 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:24.640 end up getting a personal trainer because I was like, 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.520 I better get like in shape this role. I need 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:32.760 to look fit, not just like right right right? And 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.360 so what did you put on? Put on some muscle 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.800 because I saw I recall when I saw the episode, 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.640 I didn't even know it was you. Um the girl 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.159 did look a little like fit, like she had some 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.640 muscle on her. I never I never would have thought 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.280 that was you, because I do remember you as being 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.520 you know, very life and sort of dancer like like ballerina, 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:56.280 Like right, yeah, that's nice. Yeah, I mean I got 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.320 I leaned out, I guess, and that kind of started 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.000 my journey, and like I became very healthy even like 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.400 the way everything. I feel like that role played a 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:08.600 big part in like changing my lifestyle. Funnily enough, Yeah, 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.080 so Janet in Paris argue a lot.

Remember what I shocked at how like 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.080 like what I want to be here? Like I have 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.480 to be honest, like the crew, the cast like at 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.200 the time, and it was just like the t you know, 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.040 like the college cast, but and I don't know if 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.400 I was misreading it so so it was like the 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.360 Yale set and it was all these like it was 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:52.560 just kind of the vibe was very like so so 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.040 as you was Liza, it was it was Alexis. It 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.600 was all the college people and they were totally nice 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.320 to me learn no, no no, no, I got you short. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:06.960 It just felt like people were kind of tired, yeah, 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:12.040 like tired and not like super into it. Not necessarily 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.640 the cast the crew specifically, but no, I was kind 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.480 of like, oh I thought it. I was, you know, 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.440 so happy, and maybe I was just like overly happy 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.200 and like dream I don't know, but it definitely the 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:29.000 vibe was like not that because you know I've been 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.960 then I was on sets after that that were so 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.920 happy that I was like, oh, okay, like these people 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:37.360 seem very excited about and and I was excited, but 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.360 it just didn't seem like everyone was as excited, maybe 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.400 because you guys were in a groove, Like everyone was 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.559 in a groove. It was just like whatever second nature 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.960 at that point, you know. And you know, I came 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:49.440 in like do do I'm a new girl. I was, 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.680 you know, yeah, so spitting sunshine, and uh, you know 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:58.199 everybody who else was glum. You know, there were long, long, 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.640 long hours and I look, I always you know, you 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.439 know that the number one on the day, which is 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.800 Alexis she's number two in the cast, but that was 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.400 her set, so she's exhausted from all of the hours 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:11.920 that she's got to put in. That's going to have 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.160 a trickle down effect on everybody else, the crew, everybody. 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.160 So she's not happy, or she's having a bad day 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.679 or she's having a bad week. It's not you know, 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:27.080 that happens, you know, everybody takes like that on other days, 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.640 Like that was my first day. So I was like, 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.000 maybe something happened that day that I wasn't aware of 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.520 because it just there was a weird vibe and then 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.160 it and then it was totally not you know. I 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.400 think I think that's one of the contributing factors as 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.920 to why the show ended after seven seasons, because I 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.320 don't think those two girls wanted to work that much 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.160 because of what it did to their their heads and 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.000 their you know, their lives, and they just wanted to 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.640 do less. I believe that's kind of what I've heard 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:56.480 around the water cooler. It's like it was just too much. 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.320 You know. It's like, maybe try balancing it out with 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.320 all the other characters, you know, and take the load 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.400 off and then we can continue with the show. But 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.560 I think that had something to do with, uh, you know, 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.320 that show ending, because I mean, how what else could 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.680 it be? It wasn't the ratings, right, I mean, the 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.240 advertisers wanted to come back, So what else could it be? 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.760 You know, I don't like, I can't I mean, I 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.280 can't speak for them because we because we always sat 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.360 back and we just marveled at how much work they 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.280 had to the workload on the both of them, and 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:30.559 it was like, how long can they do this? Tired? Yeah? 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.720 I mean at a certain point I know where I 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.080 know you're interviewing me, but I want to ask you like, sure, 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.439 how was your experience like where you did? You had 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.000 a lot to do too, It's not like you didn't 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.240 have you know what I mean, I feel like you 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.640 had just as much. Well in the wintertime, I never 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:46.760 wanted to be there working because I wanted to be 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:52.360 in Colorado skiing. So that was my had nothing to 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.199 do with workload. I don't look, I don't mind a workload. 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.560 I mean I can you know, I can bowl through anything. 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:58.920 It's not a bit. It's how I grew up and 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:00.600 so that's how my mother is. And it was like 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:04.240 not a big deal, right work, I'm not afraid of work. Uh, 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:08.520 but you know, once I discovered Colorado, then then work 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:16.160 took the bed seat. H Is that where you are now? No? No, no, no, no, no, 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:21.280 no no, I'm still in southern California. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.400 I mean yeah. It was long hours, but you know 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:25.600 I would get breaks, you know, I wasn't. It wasn't 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:33.360 every day all day for me. They were absolutely absolutely yeah. Yeah, 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.959 and uh that's tough. That's tough to carry that every 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.800 day nine months, five days a week for nine months, 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.720 and then you get a break and then you're back 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:46.400 at doing again. And it's just like you just you know, 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.000 I know, the fans can't understand, like why would you 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.320 want to get off a show because it's so beloved 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.280 and it's so great and the quality is so good. 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.840 But I think what the fans don't realize is how 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.640 taxing it is on the actors and and and what 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.520 it can do to somebody, you know, adversely affect their 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.920 health in some way, you know. So it's like, you know, 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:07.000 it's it's we we give a lot. It's it's like 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.240 any other job where there's huge hours and people get 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:16.240 stressed out. It's just like anything else, you know. So yeah, Um, anyway, 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.080 it's great being on your show. Any other questions, But 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.120 tell me about your childhood. No, well, when I was 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.600 born suddenly I was a teenager. It was amazing. I 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:34.320 don't remember a thing. Um, so look, it's the show 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.240 is known for its plentiful dialogue. Was it easier for 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.520 you to adapt to that? Did you have a lot 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.840 of dialogue? I did, and it was rapid fire, as 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.360 you know. I mean, it was always like it just 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:51.280 had to be so fast, and so that wasn't challenging 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:54.280 for me because I'm I was especially at the time 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:58.120 such a fast talker naturally, you know, so it was 0:14:58.160 --> 0:14:59.760 kind of fun for me, Like I don't know, I 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.400 I didn't mind it. I didn't mind. But the only 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.480 part that was like harder for me was like, you know, 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.360 you read something and you want to do it a 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:08.720 certain way, but when you have to say it's super fast, 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.240 it takes away, like you don't get the time to 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.840 do it, like necessarily the way you want to do it, 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.120 you know, because you have to keep up with that piece. 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.680 So it's much more of like a you know what 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:25.080 I mean, Like it's almost like, um, it's rhythmic, you know, 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.360 and you have to keep that rhythm or you're gonna 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:33.360 break it. So it's not organic per se. No, it's not. 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:37.280 It's it's more it's more iambic than it is. Yes 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.000 I am. I'm not saying that it is a iambic, 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.640 but it's more it's more similar to that than anything 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.080 organic that you're going to feel or come up with 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:51.680 you I agree with that, sure, yeah, But it was like, 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.040 you know, brilliant, and I understand they wanted to get 0:15:54.040 --> 0:16:00.120 all that brilliance packed in sure yeah, sure, yeah. M 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.120 Hey everybody, it's Scott Patterson exciting news.

My favorite memory, you know, I 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:55.720 really loved the spring Break episode. It was so fun. 0:16:55.760 --> 0:17:00.760 I remember going to um Manhattan Beach or wherever it 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.320 was like somewhere Huntington Beach or Manhattan Beach, I don't 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.119 remember exactly where. I think it was Huntington Um and 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.400 it was so fun and it was the first time 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:11.680 we had been on the location location. You know, still 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:15.440 in in l A. But I just remember being such 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:19.679 a fun episode. And I don't know. I worked with 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:25.840 um Ethan, who played Gwen Um, who I also have 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:27.880 a weird history with. We went to camp together when 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:29.400 we were younger, so it was really fun to work 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.159 with him, and to where you work with every We 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:33.679 we were all kind of close because we like slept 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:37.280 at the motel nearby, like it was like a sleepover party. 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:39.600 I just remember I think all of us bonded a 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:44.040 little bit more during that episode. It felt like we 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:48.480 were all actually like friends, you know. Um, So let's 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.280 talk about this Christmas movie you have coming out. What 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:56.520 can you tell us about that? Yes, Um, it's gonna 0:17:56.520 --> 0:18:01.440 be on Lifetime. It airs December sixteen. It is one 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:07.000 of a series of um gay themed Christmas movies. I 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:12.280 think it's incredible. Uh so I am one of the leads. 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.320 The two like main guys are actually a couple in 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:20.840 real life. Um, they're married. They're incredible there and the 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.360 Broadway guys, the Broadway stars and they so anyway, it's 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.760 it's a love story, but it's also like a reunion 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.920 story where all of us come together like best friends 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:35.159 from childhood and we have to um, somebody passed away 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.840 and we need to find like there are a lot 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.479 of clues leading up to a treasure that we all 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.240 need to find and um, it just brings us all 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.560 back together.

Who would you rather go 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:43.600 on a road trip with? Taylor or Michelle? Uh? I 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:51.160 don't know who they are? You don't know who Michelle is? Oh? 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:55.119 The guy did talk like this? Yes? And Taylor? Taylor? 0:19:55.200 --> 0:20:00.320 Dozy my nemesis in the show. Remind me he's the 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.800 guy that ran the town hall meetings. I'm losing fans now, 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:06.600 I'm sorry, you're not you're not. I don't know half 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:10.840 the show either, so don't know worries Taylor Taylor dozy 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:15.240 you know to the town busybody? Right? Yes, yes, he's 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:19.800 always enforcing regulations and restrictions, and he's just you know, 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:23.600 he's just a well maybe they're both like tough characters. 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:25.159 So which one would you rather go on a road 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:29.080 trip with? Now? That? But maybe him? Maybe him? Actually 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.800 I think Michelle. I think Michelle. Yeah, because it'd be funny. 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:35.040 He'd probably a funny story. He probably would. Um, okay, 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.360 finish the lyric and where you lead, I will follow 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:53.960 dot dot dot h anyway, I can that? You tell me? Yes? Nice, No, 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:58.560 it's it's it's not Carly Simon. It's Carol King. Carol King. 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:00.880 That's the theme song of the show. How many points 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:04.040 am I losing right now? You're not losing any point? Listen, 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:05.840 I have a couple. I'll give you a couple of 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:09.399 my points. You won't lose a thing. All operated a 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:13.959 deficit from here on out. Um Jackson's vegetables or Suki's 0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:19.760 bakeod you know, Suki is okay? Would you rather listen 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:24.439 to Drella's Harp or the Trooper doors cover songs? And 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:29.320 that's a trick question because Drella was Alex Borstein in 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:33.000 the pilot and she got replaced by Melissa McCarthy, so 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:39.240 Drella's character went away. Alex Borstein could not be in 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.680 the series because she was on something I think called 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:46.200 Mad TV at Fox and they wouldn't they wouldn't let 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:48.879 her out of her contract, and she was so great 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:55.000 as Drella the harpist. Um, Yes, interesting in it? Um okay, 0:21:55.520 --> 0:22:02.560 Chilton Prep or Stars Hollow High and Prep. There you go, 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:07.360 there you go love it. Um. It's been a pleasure. 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:10.760 It really has been great. It's so nice to see it. 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:12.439 It's good to see you too. So you're still in 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:17.040 l A and you're in l A fantastic and your 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:21.919 daughters in pre K Nice Nice. I have an eight 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:24.120 year old boy, so we went through that whole thing. 0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:29.439 So yeah, yeah, he's he's quite quite something. It's just 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:33.119 the belly laughs that they're just endless. The magic, the 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:35.399 all day magic and the belly laughs. It's just it 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:39.800 and the purity. I know it's about literally nothing better. 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:42.960 Well it was.
