HuffPost
"Gilmore Girls," which is nearing its 25th anniversary, hit Netflix in 2014.
“Gilmore Girls” hit streaming platform Netflix in 2014, introducing a new generation to the rapid-fire wit and bottomless coffee cups of Stars Hollow. But, despite the show’s enduring popularity, the residuals aren’t exactly paying star Lauren Graham in the way one might hope.
During a Thursday chat on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Graham admitted that she never tires of talking about the beloved series, which originally aired on the WB in 2000 — a fact that may prompt some millennials to question their ages.
“It might be more popular now than it was when it was on the air the first time,” Kimmel remarked.
He then pointed out that the show is nearing its 25th anniversary, a statement to send fans into an existential spiral. Graham confirmed that, even decades later, she still hears about the antics of her character, Lorelai Gilmore, from both longtime devotees and fresh recruits.
“I get stopped a lot. It surprises me every time,” Graham admitted.
