Lauren Graham went on Conan O’Brien – the interview is quite hilarious. It starts off with some Gilmore Girls stuff.
Lauren talks about how she went completely Gilmore-Girls-blank as soon as she finished taping. Couldn’t figure out the importance of the monkey lamp. And people come up to her and say "Oy with the poodles already" which also draws a blank. Ah, two classics! Ok, we really need to write to Lauren to remind her about these.
Lauren Graham then talks about her upcoming movie with Matthew Perry and how their "romantic" rumors have sparked again. Matt apparently makes fun of her quite a bit, but in a funny way, calling her "Fatty" – a Studio 60 reference to Amanda Peet.
In the first half, Lauren also talks about her coffee excursions to Dunkin’ Donuts in Connecticut – and the "quick and delish" Rachel Ray line that gets absolutely stuck in her head.
View the second half after the jump.
In the second half, Lauren talks about Evan Almighty. Filming the movie, getting new freckles, and working with ‘pro’ animals.
Ok, I have to say that I love how comfortable Lauren is during interviews. She just cracks up and says the funniest things in the funniest ways. I mean, the fake-building-the-ark bit!

i loovveeee Lauren Graham and she will forever be my favorite actress but as most people have said, i was very disappointed that Lauren didn’t remember the monkey lamp and oy with the poodles already, i basically cried. well here is how i view it… it is like a relationship , like what gilmore girls and i had together, i fell in love with the show for 7 years and then one day someone ends the relationship(Gilmore Girls)/(Guy/girl)…. and your stuck there wallowing and mourning it each and every day since May 3rd while the other person is off saying, “ohh i don’t remember any of those memories i had”(Lauren Graham)/ (Guy/Girl). and the other person flaunting around going on (interviews)/(friends) saying it is a releif that its over and done with while you are still crying your eyes out and it hurts and they are sooo happy as can be and get along making (movies)/(or going on dates) or a relationship would be dating other people…….. i hope someone understands what i’m trying to say because then i sound like a complete idiot lol…. its easier to act out like i’ve been doing to my friends and family since ive been watching Laurens interviews starting with her on Ellen .. so the end and hopefully someone understands what im trying to sayy

Since the show ended and I found this website, I am truly grateful for everything so wonderfully provided on a daily basis. The only thing is…is that with the photos and info of the set being pulled down, more and more exit interviews, it just seems to breakdown the Stars Hollow magic and truly illustrate that Lauren Graham is not Lorelai and that her job as Lorelai has ended for her as well as us. I will always be a fan of Lauren Graham’s and the show, but I just want to hold the lives of these dear characters together as long as possible I guess and not hear about the end on interviews as job that is over. After all reality has no place in Stars Hollow right?

The actors very rarely every watch the work that they do. In fact the only time they usually every see their own work is when they’re either reworking scenes or they’re at their own movie premiere. It’s unfair of us as fans to not realize that alot went on behind the scenes to make each episode happen. When you have to memorize the kind of dialogue that the show had in such a quick manner, obviously it’s easy for your brain to get fried from that sort of work.
With the amount of lines Alexis and Lauren had to memorize, and due to the fact that they never watch their own work, you can’t blame them for not remembering a couple sentences they said some seven years ago. THe monkey lamp was from the first season, that was a LONG time ago.
BTW, Lauren looked absolutely fabulous in this interview. I always love her interaction with Conan. they have great chemistry.

I Agree With Everyone. I Dont Think She’s Forgotton EVERYTHING She Did On GG, But Most Of Us Cant Remember What Happened In Like Second Grade. She Put In 14 Hour Days Just So We Could See An Episode That Following Tuesday. I Appreciate Everything She Did For Us. We Should All Send A Thank You E-mail To Her Telling Her We Still Love Her.
I Am However So Happy Lauren Got A Job So Close To The Ending Of GG. I Knew Someone Would Sweep Her Up In A Matter Of Minutes! She Is Such A Talented Person And So Funny. I Hope She Does Well In Her Future In Acting :)
She Is Truely A Part Of My Life And A Part Of Me :) She Is My Idol ;)

I think its funny that she still talks fast from all the years of Gilmore Girls, that habit would be so hard to break. But, nevertheless, greatest and funniest person alive. Gotta love Lauren!!

I love Lauren, she is hilarious! And I think it is totally fine that she doesn’t remember the monkey lamp. a) it is from seven years ago and b) she has had to memorize so many other things and there was only really one scene involving the lamp, the rest of the time is was just sitting there.
Also, she was in the July issue of In Style Magazine if anyone gets a copy. She was in the Guilty Pleasures section.
Also, Lauren was mentioned in the Chicago Tribune, under Maureen Ryan’s favorite women on television. This is what she said-
” Lauren Graham, “Gilmore Girls” (CW): Those who watched “Gilmore Girls” just refer to it as The Scene. In the series’ waning days, Graham, as a semidrunk Lorelai Gilmore at a karaoke bar, sang a jaw-dropping rendition of “I Will Always Love You,” the memory of which can still bring a tear to the eye. All of Lorelai’s devotion to her daughter Rory and all of her complicated feelings for diner owner Luke Danes was expressed in one weaving, silly, funny, heart-rending, perfectly calibrated performance.”
And I completely agree with her. That scene was amazing. Lauren performed it incredibly. Here’s the link if anyone wants to read the article-

I don’t care, that she doesn’t remember and i’m happy that she isn’t the same as Lorelai, even if i really like lorelai, but in my opinion, Lauren is even better than lorelai.
Lauren is so great, it’s really mean that you are angry about her, just because she doesn’t remember the lamp!!

I had a perfect copy of this interview on my DVR – then it crashed!!
I absolutely LOVE Lauren and this is one of the best interviews with her EVER.
The bit about Rachel Ray and Dunkin’ Donuts is hilarious. And my son and I went around the house for weeks saying ‘fatty had a party and nobody came’!
I have looked and looked, months ago and again now trying to find a copy of this interview, but without much luck. I say much luck and not no luck because I was able to find a VERY POOR quality video on some little known website somewhere and quickly downloaded it.
It skips and this image and sound quality are horrible, but it still brings good laughs to all of us when we watch it.
