The Top 5 Funniest Moments Featuring Melissa McCarthy on ‘Gilmore Girls’
Melissa McCarthy’s absence from the recent ‘Gilmore Girls’ reunion in Austin, Texas, can be excused considering she was likely celebrating the success of her latest film, Spy, which received outstanding reviews and topped the box office. However, true fans of McCarthy recognize her comedic brilliance from her role as Sookie St. James, the lovable chef and Lorelai Gilmore’s trusty sidekick in the series. Show creator Amy Sherman-Palladino fought hard to cast McCarthy, and her presence contributed significantly to the show’s humor. Here are five of Sookie’s most memorable and hilarious moments:
