Speaker 2: I am all in again with Scott Patterson an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: It's the I Am all In Podcasts. It's Easton. I'm
Speaker 1: here with Emily Carota. Thank you so much for taking
Speaker 1: the time today, missus Kim to the world of Gilmore.
Speaker 1: We're back here on the Warner Brothers lot. You spent
Speaker 1: a lot of time here over the years. I'm curious,
Speaker 1: like coming here every how often would you guys shoot
Speaker 1: on a typical season, Like, was it like an everyday
Speaker 1: nine to five thing?
Speaker 2: Oh? Not for me. It was.
Speaker 3: Not for me, but I because I only did like
Speaker 3: forty eight episodes or something, only forty eight, but it
Speaker 3: was our shooting days would get longer and longer and longer.
Speaker 3: So by the end of day five we would often
Speaker 3: end at five in the morning on a Saturday.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: So that means basically nobody gets a break because we
Speaker 3: start again at six in the morning on Monday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there were some grueling days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my goodness. Being how often would you do
Speaker 1: like an overnight shoot like that? Was that pretty frequently here?
Speaker 2: That was not uncommon? No?
Speaker 1: Uncommon? Yeah, okay, I'm curious being here in the middle
Speaker 1: of the night. I know, there's there's lots of crew,
Speaker 1: there's lots of lights and everything. Was it ever like
Speaker 1: kind of spooky walking around here in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night.
Speaker 2: No, there's so many people on a TV set.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay. When we watch Gilmore Girl's Back and
Speaker 1: we watch you in the antique shop, is there's something
Speaker 1: about that set that would surprise people, like, Oh, there
Speaker 1: was like a oh, this is where I'd keep my
Speaker 1: bottle of water or something like that.
Speaker 3: Oh, I had stuff hiding behind everything. My lines, especially
Speaker 3: if I had to speak Korean. Oh my god, they
Speaker 3: were like on furniture on my hand.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I was gonna ask you about that,
Speaker 1: like how because I mean I've never acted before. Obviously,
Speaker 1: I'm always so curious, like when someone's like reading a
Speaker 1: book or something, do you ever put the lines in there?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, so, uh you put on the furniture.
Speaker 1: You just said. That's wild to me.
Speaker 3: I have no pride. Well, especially like the scene where
Speaker 3: I had to speak the most Korean. We got the
Speaker 3: script the night before. I said, I don't think I
Speaker 3: can do this. Well, yeah, you can do this, So
Speaker 3: I showed up the next morning. Luckily one of my
Speaker 3: best friends played my mother. Oh awesome Korean, so she
Speaker 3: saved my butt. I tried them, and I did have
Speaker 3: things written everywhere and they're like, Emily, we could see
Speaker 3: your index cardigo Okay, sorry.
Speaker 1: Sorry sorry. Do people come up to speaking Korean expecting
Speaker 1: you to like when fans.
Speaker 2: Recognize her never believe it or not? Never?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, because that would I would be like, oh God,
Speaker 1: what do I do? What's your? Is there like a
Speaker 1: memory that from making the show that stands, like when
Speaker 1: you look back on Gilmour Girls, especially being here at
Speaker 1: the Warner Brothers a lot, is there something that kind
Speaker 1: of rises to the top, like one of your favorite memories?
Speaker 3: Probably some of the scenes, I mean some of the
Speaker 3: scenes were just so beautifully written. Yeah, absolutely beautifully written.
Speaker 3: And we had the luxury of our producer was Kreamy American,
Speaker 3: and so her parents are from Korea, so she kept
Speaker 3: everything so very down to earth, realistic, not stereotypical at all.
Speaker 3: So everything was so real and and they built such
Speaker 3: a wonderful relationship between me and my daughter that, like
Speaker 3: the wedding was terribly painful, joyous at the same time.
Speaker 3: But the best scene, my favorite scene, and it's caith
Speaker 3: Cooas's favorite scene too, I think, is where she lies
Speaker 3: to me for the first time. And that's just devastating
Speaker 3: and that was so beautifully written. Yes, and I didn't
Speaker 3: realize until I saw the documentary what Kaiko was doing.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, dude, no wonder.
Speaker 3: It was so powerful, you know for me, I because
Speaker 3: we don't talk about what we do. We don't talk
Speaker 3: about where is mister Kim or who we we don't
Speaker 3: talk about anything.
Speaker 2: We just live the moment, you know, of course.
Speaker 3: So here it is twenty five years later, and finally
Speaker 3: then I hear what she was doing. I said, oh,
Speaker 3: that makes sense. It was just beautiful. What you know,
Speaker 3: what her thought process was as the daughter?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's watching you guys interact is It's such a
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. And I think seeing that representation on television
Speaker 1: is so important too, especially like in the early two thousands.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just it's you played such a
Speaker 1: special character and there's so many people that connect so
Speaker 1: strongly with you and Lane and I just from on
Speaker 1: behalf of the fans. I just want to thank you
