When Gilmore Girls wrapped up, Lauren Graham found herself in a classic sitcom dilemma. Much like Julia Louis-Dreyfus with her Seinfeld exit, Graham faced the unexpected challenge of leaving behind cherished props and memorabilia from her hit show.
This crossover of TV land troubles highlights a universal truth—whether you’re in Stars Hollow or New York City, parting ways with a cherished role and its trinkets can be a bittersweet journey.
Lauren Graham’s Lost Monkey Lamp: A Hilarious Reminder of Post-Show Daze
You’d think after playing a fast-talking, coffee-obsessed innkeeper for seven seasons, Lauren Graham would have a firm grasp on her surroundings. But nope, the Gilmore Girls star revealed a hilarious, relatable truth: she’s as forgetful as the rest of us.
In a sit-down with Canon O’Brien, Graham spilled the tea on how she found herself in a post-show daze. The actress admitted to forgetting everything, including a mysterious ‘monkey lamp’ from the set, as she revealed:
Well, you know, it’s the end, so you probably want the monkey lamp? I took the monkey lamp and I have no idea. And that’s how much I can’t remember what happened…I guess I read books, but I’m not sure… The minute it was over. I just can’t remember things.
Graham’s confession offers a refreshing dose of relatability—something that Julia Louis-Dreyfus felt when her show Seinfeld ended. In an interview with Letterman on The Late Show, she confessed how she forgot about this girl during her 20th high school reunion.
Somebody showed up and we didn’t recognise her… don’t think she was in our class and she acted as if she knew us right and her name sort of rang a bell but we kept having these meetings in the bathroom, but we don’t know who she was.
It’s a wild reminder that even our favorite TV stars are just people figuring out life once the spotlight fades. Both women brought tons of laughs and still have fans hooked long after their shows wrapped. Graham might have misplaced a monkey lamp, but she’s earned a fan army. And Julia Louis-Dreyfus? Her quirky charm still shines, proving great TV never dies!
Graham Trades Lorelai’s Coffee for Corporate Chaos in New Comedy
Get ready to swap coffee for conference calls, folks! TV queen Lauren Graham is ditching her small-town charm for big-city hustle (via Collider).
The Gilmore Girls icon is returning to our screens in a new workplace comedy, The Z-Suite, set to drop on Tubi in 2025. Graham’s playing Monica Frazier, a former CEO who gets the boot and has to claw her way back up the corporate ladder in a world dominated by Gen-Z.
The show promises a hilarious take on the age-old generational divide, and with Graham’s signature wit, it’s shaping up to be pure gold. We can’t wait to see Lorelai 2.0 tackle office politics with the same sass and energy that made us fall in love with her in the first place. Tubi is clearly making a power play in the streaming wars with this one.
Watch Gilmore Girls only on Apple TV.
