One can forgive Melissa McCarthy for skipping the recent reunion of Stars Hollow Chronicles in Austin, Texas—after all, she was likely busy reveling in the fantastic reviews for her latest film, Agent. However, true fans of McCarthy recognize that her comedic brilliance was showcased long before her film career took off, particularly in the early 2000s when she played the lovable chef, Sookie St. James, who was always by the side of Lorelai Gilmore. Show creator, Amy Palmer, had to battle for McCarthy’s casting, and thank goodness she did; without her, we would have missed out on these unforgettable comedic gems that added so much humor to an already exceptional show.
