And 10 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 2: so yeah, when we talked about doing this, it just 11 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: seemed like the perfect time. 12 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: YEP, with some sort of hot beverage in your hand. 13 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so, I uh, just let everyone know we're 14 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: gonna be talking about Kelly Bishop's memoir, the Third Gilmore Girl. 15 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 3: iHeart Podcasts listen on the iHeartRadio app. So Suzanne read 16 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 3: the book. I did the audio book. 17 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: So it's kind of interesting because we have like two 18 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: different perspectives. But I finished my audio book while I 19 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: was in New York on a work trip, so I 20 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: it actually was really cold and I had a hot beverage. 21 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 3: So the holiday season full swing. 22 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,559 Speaker 1: I finished the physical book last night in the middle 23 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: of the evening, so it was like right around dinner time, 24 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: so it wasn't too cold here, but it was dark. 25 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: Does that count? 26 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: That counts? That counts anywhere? Do we begin? First of all, 27 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 3: I just I loved the memoir as a whole. 28 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: I think it was so well written and for anyone 29 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: who wants to read it and do the audiobook, Kelly 30 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: Bishop narrates it, and I feel like it just gave 31 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 2: that extra special Gilmore touch that I will. 32 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm probably going to go back and 33 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: get the audiobook and listen to it. But I did 34 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: that with Lauren's books, read the physical copy first and 35 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: then did the audiobook, and it does like add that 36 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: extra dimension to have the original author reading the book. 37 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to that. But I thought it 38 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: was great. I didn't really know that much about Kelly Bishop, 39 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: like I knew me too obviously. I know Gilmour and 40 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: I knew Dirty Dancing and chorus line, and that was 41 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: really all I knew about her. So I really enjoyed 42 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: getting to know her. I feel like it was just 43 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: so readable, like it just went so fast, like it 44 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: was literally were having a conversation with her. It was great. 45 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, And also the what's it called the very beginning 46 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 2: of the book, I'm blanking the prologue. The prologue, it 47 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: was written by Amy Sherman Palladino. Yeah, and Amy actually 48 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: narrated that in the audio book. So to get Amy 49 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 2: to hear Amy the forward sorry, yes, the foreword to 50 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: get Amy to start the book was kind of like 51 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 2: and the way she spoke, and she's so passionate when 52 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: she speaks, and she was talking about Kelly. 53 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 3: It made me emotional, just like, you. 54 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 2: Know, there's this piece of them connected because of the 55 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 2: show for the rest of their lives. And they talk 56 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: about that in the book of like they became instant 57 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: friends and still are. And you know, then the forward, 58 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 2: Amy mentions like, I'll have Kelly work in every project 59 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 2: I ever work in, ever. 60 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 3: Again, because she's that amazing. 61 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you could really tell how much they all 62 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: admired each other, Her and Amy and Lauren, especially towards 63 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: the end of the book where they were getting together 64 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: like during the pandemic and things like that, Like you 65 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: could really see how strong that friendship was because she 66 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: touched on how in that industry you are in your 67 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: little microcosm of the show you're working on. But then 68 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: when that show is over. Everybody just goes their different 69 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: directions and starts working projects and you lose touch with people. 70 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: But like that corror group, like they have just stayed 71 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: tight friends even to this day. And I just love that, 72 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: Like everybody wants to have a friendship like that. 73 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 3: It's so true, like I have. 74 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 2: I mean, I've worked in different places on different teams, 75 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: and you sometimes will wish you can go back to that. 76 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: Group, but there's a moment in time for that. 77 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 2: And there are people who I'm still very close with 78 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: who I talk to weekly that were in those workplaces. 79 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: But to get that whole group back together is so rare. 80 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 2: And yeah, and I love that, Kelly. And we're going 81 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: to kind of jump around in this recap of just 82 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: talking about the book as a whole, But when they 83 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: talked about the reunion, it was just like, I love 84 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 2: how Kelly just wanted it, like she wanted as much 85 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: as like the fans wanted. 86 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 3: It, whether it was the. 87 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: Convention they did or just the like you know, bringing 88 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: the show back. 89 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 3: And one thing that set out to me that I I. 90 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: Don't know why, I just I just always wonder if 91 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 2: like the actors want to talk about season seven and 92 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 2: Amy and Dan not being there, and Kelly really touched 93 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 2: on like it wasn't the same and we all just 94 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 2: went about the day and read the scripts and got 95 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: it over with. 96 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 3: Not that they didn't enjoy it. They still enjoyed it, 97 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 3: but she. 98 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: Basically alluded to we know that it wasn't the best season, 99 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: like we know. 100 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, but they were all under contract, so there wasn't 101 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: anything like they just had to keep working. 102 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, she did say she was like, I bet you 103 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 2: if they stayed that show would have gone on more 104 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 2: than seven seasons with Amy and Dan. 105 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. I was just gonna say the same thing. And 106 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting to think about that possibility, like 107 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: where might the story have gone had they sty. 108 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 3: Like how much more would we have gone? 109 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: Yes, I know Scott has said in the past that 110 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: he had already signed on through season eight, and I 111 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: think other some other people had too, so you know, 112 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: they were all on board. But yeah, it's interesting to 113 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: think what I could have. 114 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 3: My big takeaway I think from the book. 115 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:03,239 Speaker 2: Was you really like there's no certain age where success 116 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 2: is measured, Like if you think about it, I mean, 117 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: Kelly obviously wanted Tony and she was in Dirty Dancing 118 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: but it really wasn't until Gilmore Girls where she was 119 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: like kind of a household name and people would recognize 120 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: her from her voice. Like she's like, oh, someone said 121 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: they heard my voice, and she was, I mean, how 122 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: old was she then? 123 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 3: Sixties, sixties? Right in her sixties. 124 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: Was I think she was in her fifties, like late 125 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: fifties when they started. 126 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 2: But it's so cool to think in your fifties, like 127 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: basically your entire world is starting over in a new way. 128 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 2: And even at the end of the book, she really 129 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 2: touched on like you want to There was a certain 130 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 2: line she said, you learn from so many lessons and 131 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 2: it's not like you just continue learning. And then they 132 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 2: talked about the end of the book how her friend's 133 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: son wanted to be in theater and they're like, oh, 134 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 2: tell them it's talking to do and she's yeah, yeah, 135 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 2: And she's like why because if it's gonna be able 136 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 2: to support him and he loves it, then like why not, right? 137 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 2: And if and there's time to decide on other careers 138 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 2: if it doesn't work out, because she wanted to be 139 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: an enlightened a light director. So that was my biggest 140 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 2: takeaway from the book, is like there's really no age 141 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: where it's like I think growing up, like I always 142 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 2: thought in my thirties i'd be married with kids. 143 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 3: That clearly did not happened. 144 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 2: But you know, like there's no limit to age and 145 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 2: to what you're doing at what age? 146 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's so true. And she's she's had a 147 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: very long career, and she pointed out even I think 148 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: towards the beginning of the book, about how she's been 149 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: very fortunate to be able to make a living doing 150 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: dancing and acting without having to fill in with waitressing 151 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: or working in an office, Like she's been able to 152 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: make her whole living just doing that. It just shows 153 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: you can be in that industry and still make a 154 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: living without being a house whole name. 155 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, she mentioned like she didn't want to be a star, 156 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 2: she wanted to do it for the art of it, 157 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: which is also, like I think about it, that's kind 158 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: of the best of both worlds, Like you can do 159 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 2: exactly what you love being entertainment, but no one's going 160 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: to like follow you around and wondering who you're dating exactly. 161 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: I think about people like Taylor Swift and she can't 162 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: even sneeze without it. One hundred photographers capturing it and 163 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: plastering everywhere. And I think that would really be a 164 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: sad way to live your life, Like the money wouldn't 165 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: be worth it to me, No, And so I agree 166 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: with you, like that's the best way to do it. 167 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: You can get to do what you love, but you 168 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: don't have many of the downsides of being like a 169 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: public Yeah. 170 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 3: And she never lived in la which I thought was 171 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 3: very interesting. She was flying back and forth to be 172 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 3: with her husband and who my god, her husband had 173 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 3: been so much like every chapter. I was like, oh 174 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 3: my god, this this poor. 175 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 2: Man, like he's been through so much. And she was 176 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 2: basically back and forth. And I love that he didn't 177 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 2: hold back her career because of it. But she'd be 178 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: I mean, she'd be on a plane home basically every 179 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 2: other week. It sounded like every week. 180 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, And that that takes its toll, like that would 181 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: be hard to do. So it's we're all lucky as 182 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: viewers that they were able to work out that schedule 183 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: that she could you could still do that, because I 184 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: can't imagine the show without her or with Yeah. 185 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 2: I also I thought it was so funny when talking 186 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 2: about working with Edward ed Herman that they wanted Tony 187 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: on the same night, and I googled it. Did you 188 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 2: have you seen the picture of them together? 189 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: Yes? 190 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 3: Yes, Like, isn't that wild to think, like those two 191 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 3: people wanted Tony. 192 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: And then years later are a married couple on one 193 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 2: of the biggest shows in the world. 194 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, like, what are the chances? I know, that's so crazy. 195 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 2: I was. I was googling it just to see her 196 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: like her at the Tony's and the picture of them 197 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 2: popped up, and I was like, oh my god, what 198 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 2: a cool picture to have. 199 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 3: And then you both look like the same, like like 200 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 3: they look the same as they. 201 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: Did, like they didn't age. I know. 202 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, wow, I did love the part 203 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 2: in uh when she was talking about Gilmore, how you 204 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 2: know in theater you're always prepared, like being ready means 205 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 2: you're in your spot, but like for TV and film actors, 206 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 2: like being ready means walking from your trailer. And her 207 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 2: and Ed would just be sitting at the table at 208 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 2: the Gilmour's house like waiting for Lauren. 209 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, so funny. They'd be waiting for everybody else to 210 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: show up. Yeah, and then and said, we're theater people 211 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: because you're right, like if the curtain's going up, you 212 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: got to be in your place to be there. We're 213 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: gonna start without you, which doesn't really happen in TV. 214 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: They can't start until the actors. It's the other way around. 215 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: They can't start the actors are there. So yeah, it 216 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: was I just loved how her whole career she's done everything, 217 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: Like she started out as a dancer and you know 218 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: that transitioned into Broadway and then she pivoted to movie 219 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: and TV and like there's not a lot of people 220 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: all that could do all of that. They can do 221 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: the live theater, but it doesn't transition to television or 222 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: you know, they're TV stars, but they don't. They can't 223 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: perform live because they need multiple takes or whatever. She 224 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: just was so versatile, and it just she just transitioned easily, 225 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, from from one thing to the next. 226 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 2: And I remember when she said that she wanted to 227 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 2: go from a theater to television. 228 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 3: It took two years. Like it wasn't like an overnight thing. 229 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 2: It gets still, I know what you're saying, like seamlessly, 230 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 2: and also you have to have so much talent to 231 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 2: do that. But like it kind of was nice to 232 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: hear like, yeah, I went to god knows how many 233 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: auditions and things where I was laughing at the part 234 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 2: where she was talking about getting the Gilmore script, and 235 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 2: I guess everything before that was like a rendition on 236 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 2: the Sopranos, like that was like the big thing, and 237 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: she's like, I don't want to do this type of show. 238 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: Every show had an Italian family. 239 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 3: And the way she described. 240 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 2: The way that she was pitched Gilmore, I was like, 241 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 2: it made me think, like, wow, Amy and Dan, unless 242 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 2: unless this is how like not Emily Kelly summed it up. 243 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 2: But if that's how Amy and Dan really like set 244 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 2: the tone for the show of describing each character, they 245 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: kept that true and true through the whole series of 246 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 2: the little descriptions that she gave explaining each character. And yeah, yeah, 247 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: I also love that she basically thought she didn't get it, 248 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: which is like I feel like, usually is a story 249 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 2: they're like, oh well whatever, But it's because the network 250 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 2: made Amy. 251 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 3: Audition many more people. But she kept going back to Kelly. 252 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, Kelly thought she was gonna have to go 253 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: back an audition for the network and they never called her, 254 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: so she just assumed, Okay, I didn't get it, but 255 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: that that was because in the background, Amy already knew 256 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: that it was going to be Kelly, and she kept 257 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: pushing back. Amy was pushing back on the network against 258 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: all these other people that they wanted her to look at. 259 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: So it was it was great, like she knew right 260 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: away and that instinct clearly was spot on, because. 261 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: I mean, I can't imagine any other actress playing Emily, 262 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: Like even if I tried, I'm like, I don't know who. 263 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 3: Could play her with the wit. 264 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 2: And I love that she like and when you do 265 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 2: the audio book Susanne, she like kind of recites some 266 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 2: scenes and some line and she does it in her 267 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 2: Emily like, oh good, he said. I was like, I 268 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: literally was so excited. Was like watching an episode of 269 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: Gilmore Girls, but just hearing it like how I'm used 270 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 2: to hearing it in the background. Cool. 271 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 272 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 2: But I also like that she talked about bun heads 273 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: like briefly, because it was a time in her life 274 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 2: where she was like, I don't think I mean, I 275 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: don't think it was her fault. I mean, she says 276 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: that she could have given more, but I think it 277 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: was just some shows are great and the timing of 278 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 2: it just doesn't work out, yeah. 279 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: You know, and she didn't have about a network support either, 280 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: which makes a difference. 281 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 2: And having one season only is so hard because I 282 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 2: feel like a lot of shows, like I'll go back 283 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 2: to shows that I'm binging, or I'll refer a show 284 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 2: to a friend, I'll be like, just get through season one, 285 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 2: it gets better, you know, Like season one is really 286 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 2: like setting the tone for the whole series, which I 287 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 2: think for Gilmore, season one could have stood alone and 288 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 2: been totally fine. But a lot of shows are really 289 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 2: hard to establish, you know. Yeah, a lot in like 290 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 2: the first two episodes, like Gilmore, we kind of got 291 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 2: plopped into the middle and you just kind of like 292 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 2: learned how things were. Like there was a part where 293 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 2: Kelly mentioned the way Amy wrote what was the first 294 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 2: phone call when Laura needs money for the school or 295 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 2: no sorry when she shows up the door and Richard's like, 296 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 2: oh is it Christmas or whatever? I said, Like so 297 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: you just automatically know that, Okay, their daughter hasn't doesn't 298 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: come over very often, Like you don't need that much background. 299 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 2: But it's so rare for writers to be able to 300 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 2: do that. It's so hard that in most shows you 301 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: need more of an establishing season. 302 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: Right, and the actors have to be able to pull 303 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: that off too, uh, to really get the point across that. Okay, 304 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: we only see her on holidays. Yeah, you know this 305 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: kind of that distant way that they that ed and 306 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: Kelly acted that help set that scene. So if you 307 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: have actors that aren't as good at doing that, then 308 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: you do need more writing to to get that point across. 309 00:15:54,360 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. 310 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: One thing, I thought, there's a parallel with the show. 311 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: And I don't know if you noticed this or not, 312 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: but I swear that Amy Amy must have heard this 313 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: story from Kelly and then put it in the show. 314 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: But there was the one guy that she was dating. 315 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: I forget which one it was. I think it was 316 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: Kevin the Gambler. No it was. It wasn't the one 317 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: she was married to. Somebody she was. But he asked 318 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: he asked her if he should renew his lease, and 319 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: that was his way of saying that he wanted to 320 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: move in with her. Yes, yes, which is exactly what 321 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: happened between Jackson and Sukie in the in season Like 322 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: whatever that was. 323 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: Oh, oh my god, I did not even went right over. 324 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, this is Jackson and Sukie 325 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: like she must have told it. She must have. 326 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 2: I'm sure they because that was God, what season was that. 327 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: That was a couple of seasons in right, it. 328 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: Was I think it was season two. I'm trying to 329 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: remember when they it was the bit of Basket episode. 330 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: I want to say that was season two. 331 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 3: I'm sure. 332 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, especially I'm sure by that season, like maybe she 333 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 2: probably went to lunches and chatted and learned about each other. 334 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 2: But I just I. 335 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: Loved that parallel because I was like, ah, this is 336 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: ringing a bell. 337 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 3: And if it's just a coincidence, let's pretend that Amy 338 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 3: was that smart and did it. But that's really funny. 339 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 3: I didn't notice. 340 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,959 Speaker 2: I was. I was really interested in her first marriage 341 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 2: because I'm like, it's so funny the way she was 342 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 2: talking about it the whole time. She's like, yeah, I 343 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 2: know it was a mistake, but I did it anyway, 344 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 2: you know. 345 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know that it was really that was 346 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 1: just how society was then. Like she was in her 347 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: mid twenties and didn't have a husband yet, so therefore 348 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: there was a problem and she needed to find someone quick, 349 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: and that's just you know, that's just how it was 350 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: in the late sixties and early seventies. 351 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 2: What's so crazy is when she was telling these stories about, 352 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 2: you know, being on Broadway and this and that, like 353 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 2: it just blew my mind and I had to keep 354 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 2: reminding myself like this was the sixties, Like this was 355 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 2: not you know, Like I go to a Broadway show 356 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 2: now and I see these amazing actors and I think 357 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 2: about it, and I'm like, man, Kelly Bishop did this 358 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 2: like way back when. 359 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: And I remember. So I was a kid in the 360 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: seventies and I remember when Chorusline came to LA. I 361 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: remember the TV commercials for it because I always watched 362 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: cartoons in the morning while I was eating my breakfast, 363 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: and there were just TV commercials constantly for it, and 364 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting. So I already I always 365 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: knew about chorus Line. I did not realize, you know. 366 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: The book kind of starts out talking about these sessions 367 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: that they had where they all the dancers would get 368 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: together and just kind of pour out their whole experiences 369 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: onto these and it was all recorded, and that those 370 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: tapes are what became chorus Line. And so Sheila's story 371 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: in chorus Line is really Kelly Bishop's story. Yeah, so 372 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: even in like other productions of chorus Line with other actresses, 373 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: they were still telling Kelly's story story. It was like 374 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: the character of Sheila, which that was like whoa, it 375 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: was like all trippy. 376 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 2: I saw Chorusline for the first time, I think it 377 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 2: was it was right before the I think it was 378 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 2: like twenty eighteen. They came and did it at the 379 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 2: Hollywood Bowl with a bunch of like there was a 380 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: bunch of like celebrity actors and yeah and stars, and 381 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 2: so I knew chorus line, like I knew like the 382 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 2: gist of it, but I didn't know anything about it. 383 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 2: And I honestly did not know that Kelly Bishop was originally. 384 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 2: I didn't know she was in the original chorus line. 385 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 2: So I learned about that through the book. I was like, 386 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 2: oh she was like I mean, like you said, it's about. 387 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 3: Her, Yeah, it's literally hers. 388 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 2: So that was cool to learn because you know, a 389 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 2: lot of times you hear actors like, oh, they played 390 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 2: so and so in this Broadway s you just assume 391 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 2: that they played it. 392 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 3: It's not like you think of like, oh, no, Adina Menzel. 393 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 2: Was Alphaba like she yeah, the original Like when you 394 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 2: think back, you're like, whoa, so, yeah, it's she's done 395 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 2: so much. 396 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh cool, Yeah it's It's a great book.

It just was a great read. 399 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: It just was very interesting, easy read. It's very easy 400 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: to read. It went fast, and all of a sudden, 401 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: I was like, wait, I'm at the end already out Yeah, 402 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: I know. Other thing I liked, I want to just 403 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: throw this out before we wrap up was she says 404 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: that she watched the entire show. She watched every episode, 405 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: whether she was in it or not. She calls herself 406 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: one of the biggest fans of the show, which I 407 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: love because sometimes it's hard to watch herself. But even 408 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: on the podcast, like I don't always listen to our 409 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 1: episodes because yeah, I don't like hearing myself and so 410 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: a lot of actors don't like to watch themselves. And 411 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: I love that she which the entire show and yeah, 412 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: like right along with everybody else, so I well. 413 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 2: And also she was saying, like I think when she 414 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: was talking about getting signed to season two, I think 415 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 2: season one out of the twenty two they did, like, 416 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 2: was it like fifteen. 417 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: Or something like that fifteen. 418 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's it's interesting that you know, she's not 419 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 2: in like let's say seven or eight of them, but 420 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 2: she still followed the story like and you know, if 421 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 2: you think about it, that's actually really smart for an 422 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 2: actor because you're not then questioning the storylines of what's 423 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 2: happening in an episode you're not in. But you know, 424 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,959 Speaker 2: I think about it with shows like, you know, some 425 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 2: of the other shows that we work on our podcast 426 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 2: team are from the nineties, and you couldn't really like 427 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 2: there was nowhere to like record or watch back at 428 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 2: least by like two thousand. I know, I had like 429 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: a VAHS I could record, you know what I mean, 430 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 2: But like back then, like you couldn't. 431 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 3: So it was a time. 432 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 2: Where she could watch and maybe record it somehow and 433 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 2: get it. And but yeah, I love that you watched it, 434 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 2: and I love that, Like she's just they're like she'd 435 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 2: be like, oh my god, you know me from Gilmore Girls. 436 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 2: Like by the way, I could not imagine when she 437 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 2: said she goes to the grocery store. 438 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 3: In a hat and like sweats. 439 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 2: I was like, I could not imagine Kelly Bishop and 440 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 2: like a baseball cap. 441 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: Oh, I know, I know. 442 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like the end of the series where she's. 443 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 3: Like, I was like, that's the visual I want. 444 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 2: But like, if you think about it, like if I 445 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 2: were in the grocery store and I hear Kelly Bishop 446 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 2: talking down the aisle, I would do a double take because, like, 447 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 2: you know that voice from miles away. 448 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: Right, it would be unmistakable.
