Lauren Graham on Seinfeld

I've been watching all of Lauren Graham's guest star spots on famous shows. This is one of her better guest spots.

[@AvecPoesie]

Lauren Graham is such an incredible actress! Gilmore Girls turned me into a true fan. 💖

[@BradyPostma]

@@AvecPoesie Gilmore Girls really is fantastic! I realized that I hadn't seen enough of Lauren outside of that role to be able to tell the difference between the actress and the character. So I started watching interviews and other roles.

When they cast for certain characters, they always seem to get the perfect actor or actress. They definitely got the right ones here.

Larry was no longer running the show for this episode

[@Deira854]

Seasons 8 and 9 were not written by Larry david, but other people. But I think Jerry co-wrote everything. Jerrys contribution is always underated in the show, he was the main glue

[@davidleigh443]

This was a parody of the Graduate.

[@jennydunn340]

this is something lorelai would do - she would dial a number and rory would ask who she was going to call, and lorelai would say “luke” and rory would say “don’t you have him on speed dial?” and lorelai would say something like “he didn’t let me have a fifth cup of coffee this morning. this completely forbids all speed-dial rights, my friend”

I miss Seinfeld, have to rewatch it. When I watched the episode 2 years ago, it took me some minutes to recognize Lauren. "Oh my God, #1. Seinfeld, you magnificent bastard." :D

[@yp3424]

Actually, this very phrase was "borrowed" from the 1970 war film "Patton",starring George C. Scott. During the decisive battle of El Guettar,(Tunisia,1943) U. S. troops under Gen. G.Patton,were giving hell to the attacking german tanks(30 of them were destroyed) & infantry.Very excited Patton says: "Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I've read your book!"
