-Last time you were on, I was just gushing
about "Gilmore Girls"
and that it was coming back to Netflix.
-That was amazing, though.
I think you helped us get the word out,
you loving the show. That was like --
-I really love the show so much, yeah, I mean --
-That was so cool. -You owe everything to me.
Yeah, I mean, really -- no. [ Laughter ]
You were just fantastic in that.
-Thank you.
-And I think at the time I was binge watching.
I was only up to season four of "Gilmore Girls."
-Yeah. -And, whew, I made it
all the way through, man. [ Laughter ]
I mean, you're just fantastic. Thank you for making that thing.
It was a giant success, so -- I don't know.
-Oh, it was fun to do more.
I couldn't believe we got to do that reunion.
-Did you have a favorite episode?
I think it's the one -- you know which one it is.
-You know -- -It has to be. Come on.
-I don't know which one you're thinking of.
-Yeah, you do. -I do?
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -The last one ever?
-No. Kind of. -No? Last four words? No.
-No, but that was great too. -I don't know.
Which one are you thinking of?
-When the whole town got together and -- ah, man.
-Wait, which time? Which -- -When you were leaving.
-Oh, that is a really nice episode, actually.
-I was crying my brains out. Yeah, it was fantastic.
-It's very emotional.
-Oh, it was fantastic. -How could I forget that?
That was -- -That's the one. That --
-That's the one. -Yeah, you should tell everyone
that's your favorite episode. [ Laughter ]
-I don't think I can go back now.
-And then not to keep going by all of my favorite --
your greatest hits for me,
but "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants."
You know that's my jam.
[ Cheers and applause ] That is my jam!
I love you and I love that movie.
I love everyone in it. -I love it, too.
-I love the sequel. Is there -- Can there be another one?
-I really hope so. I would love it.
It would be the best thing.
-Do you still talk to the other guys?
-Yeah. I mean, we don't get to see each other a lot
because everybody has work and family and everything.
But when everybody's in town, we do.
And we just pitched a third movie,
and I hope it comes together.
It would be so great. -You did for real?
-Yeah, we did. -What?! That's big news!
[ Cheers and applause ]
You have to do that. Please do it.
-I would love it. I would love it.
-Oh, I loved it so much.
Let's talk about "Handmaid's Tale."
-Okay. -Man, oh, man.
Well, that's -- I mean, this is like --
This is some dark, crazy -- Whew!
-It's really dark. It's really intense.
-It really is.
Did you know that it was going to be, like, this --
It was gigantic. It won every single award known to man.
I mean, really.
Including you, who won an Emmy. So congratulations.
-Yes, oh, thank you so much. [ Cheers and applause ]
-Wow, we were -- I was rooting for you.
-Thank you so much. No, there's no way to know,
I guess, you know, what's going to, you know,
communicate with an audience, what people are going to love.
But I knew the script was great.
We got the -- you know, the scripts,
and they were so strong.
The character was so complex. So it was like, this is good.
-Oh, a tricky, tricky, tricky character.
-Oh, it's so tricky. It really is challenging.
I mean, it's the most incredible challenge.
I love it, but, yeah, I have to gear up for work
and really, like, dive in. -Well, yeah, did you --
You didn't think you were going to come back for season two,
right, or -- -I didn't know.
Yeah, I was a guest star the first year.
And then just, you know, I heard that I might be back
after the fourth episode wrapped up the first season.
So I was -- -You have to come back.
Everyone loves you. Yeah, you can't leave.
-Thanks. Yeah. Yeah, I was so excited.
-And Elisabeth is fantastic. I mean --
-Oh, she's so good, yep. -The whole thing.
Well, can you set it up, what people need to see
for season two if they haven't?
Because I could describe it, but I'm going to --
-Well, Elisabeth Moss' character Offred narrates the story,
which basically entails a totalitarian regime
taking over our government,
and it's sort of in a society
where people are having a hard time becoming pregnant.
So the fertile women are enslaved and forced
to have children for the regime, essentially.
So it's really brutal. It's, um --
-That's what I was going to say. Yeah, I was like --
It is -- it's -- -It's -- it's tough, yeah.
-Yeah, it's tough. -But so enlightening,
and I think it really fosters a sense of empathy
for these characters and their, you know,
human suffering, essentially. -Whew.
-It takes you on a whole ride.
-It's well done. It's well done.
