Melissa McCarthy Reveals the Worst Part About Her Time on ‘Gilmore Girls’

usmagazine.com:

She doesn’t smell snow! Melissa McCarthy starred on Gilmore Girls for seven seasons — but filming the beloved show wasn’t always an easy feat.   “Sometimes we were, like, crammed into small things with coats on but it was actually like 112 degrees in Burbank, [California].

And we were like, ‘Brrr, Connecticut!’” McCarthy, 52, told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published on Monday, June 12. “And I was like, ‘Are we explaining why I have Malaria and why I’m in a full flop sweat?’”  Gilmore Girls, which aired on The WB (and later The CW) from 2000 to 2007, followed mother-daughter duo Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) as they navigated life in their small quirky town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut.

While the show was based up north, it filmed in sunny — and hot – California.  “When we did our first poster, someone passed out,” the Little Mermaid star continued. “Like, just [passed] out cold because we were all in coats and trying to look blustery and we were just sweating in weird places and [they were] like, ‘Look cold!’”   In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies McCarthy, for her part, portrayed chef Sookie St.

While McCarthy starred on all seven seasons of the original series, fans speculated that the Emmy winner might not make a return for the 2016 Netflix revival after claiming she hadn’t been asked to reprise her role.   “Thanks for the invite, but sadly no one asked me or Sookie to come back to Stars Hollow,” the Mike & Molly alum wrote via Twitter in February 2016 after a fan asked her to “come back” to Stars Hollow. “Wish them all the best!!” Gilmore Girls creator Amy
