Melissa McCarthy recently spoke to People about how it felt to step back into Stars Hollow, and eventually use Sookies band-aid clad hands.
She also revealed that she has talked to some people who didn’t watch the series when it aired from 2000-2007 but now, so many people are watching the seven seasons that she starred in.
McCarthy was honored by Ghostbusters director Paul Feig in the Time 100 issue, and said that being lauded alongside Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and other groundbreaking influencers was “a little surreal”.
“There was a whole thing”, she said.
And she’s happy to be part of that magic again.
“I went back and visited about two weeks ago and saw the sets again and everybody on them and it just felt – oh, my God, I get so sentimental”, the actress dished. “Then once we decided, like, ‘Is there any possible way?’ Something big fell out for me [and] something changed for [the producers]”.
