Lauren: Good... Fine Thank you.
How are you?
Craig: So what's going on?
Lauren: Oh, I'm back at my day
job.
Craig: Yeah, second season.
Lauren: Yes it's the second season.
Craig: You guys.... the critics
love your show, The Gilmore Girls, on the WB, see how I remembered that.
Lauren: What time is it on and
what night is it?
Craig: 8 pm Saturday night......
Lauren: no........no..........
Craig: Eight O'clock, monday through
friday. Tuesday nights, right after.......
Lauren: Ding, ding....... you had
a cue card over here didn't you?
Craig: No I don't have anything,
is it Tuesday nights?
Lauren: Yes. Its will be Tuesdays,
it on Thursdays right now. It will be on Tuesdays.
Craig: They were saying.....
the critics like it.............They were saying you were snubbed, the
Emmies snubbed you.
Lauren: Ohh. I think they were
saying the same thing about you.
Craig: We were nominated...........(crowd
cheers) .... Did you know, this is an unprecedented move, we were
nominated and I said give our nomination to someone else, I'm not in it
for the awards, I'm in it for the love of the job.
Lauren: That's, umm, that's beautiful.
Craig: Yeah.
Lauren: So is this upsetting for
you?
Craig: No.
Lauren: I feel this is an issue
you're needing to work out.
Craig: I could give.......Let me
try to be clear....... I could give a rats ass about it.
Lauren: Oh really! That's fair
enough.
Craig: This is fun.
Lauren: You know it's weird because
usually its other people tell you you've been snubbed, and then you feel
bad.
Craig: But it's nice, you do this
show, you've only been on a year, and they say you should have been nominated.
Lauren: And you have only been
doing this show a year.....
Craig: Couple years.
Lauren: I know........
Craig: You trying to ... you doing
one of these (Craig pulls on his leg)
Lauren: No, No
Craig: That's my job.
Lauren: I worship you. Are you
kidding. I have people out looking for you. You know that.
Craig: Explain this. This scares
me, because I usually don't interview stalkers. But explain. Go ahead,
what do you got. I'm listening.
Lauren: You know, last time I saw
you, I had seen you a couple of times recently...
Craig: What are you talking about?
On the show here?
Lauren: Last time on the show ,
when I was a guest on the show.
Craig: You were good.
Lauren: Thanks.....so were you.....It's
like the coldest sex ever or some thing "You were good" "So were
you"
Craig: Ok go ahead.
Lauren: I didn't mean to take it
into a scary.......
Craig: Where did I see you otherwise?
Lauren: It was like events, you
know like people do. Like I never do. Like I saw you at an award show,
lets say.
Craig: Did I say hi to you?
Lauren: No, not really.....You
know I took some amount of offense. Then I thought, this is like going
to be my thing. Were like I will have a story, to tell you about you, every
time I see you.
Craig: Oh, I see.
Lauren: It's because I'm a creative,
imaginative person, that i do this. And I haven't seen you all summer,
and I haven't seen you since the last time I was here.
Craig: No, I don't go out much.
Lauren: but I now have satellite
people, out there looking for you.
Craig: Oh boy.
Lauren: And I got a call......
Craig: What happened? Where was
I?
Lauren: It's just a game, people!
Craig: Where was I?
Lauren: You were at a furniture
store with your "decorator" (crowd hoots and cheers)
Craig: at least we are calling
him a decorator.
Lauren: and my friend calls me
and she's like "I have Craig Kilborn in a green chair, in the corner. Wait,
he is saying 'This is comfortable, my God this is comfortable.' "
Craig: That's hilarious.
Lauren: So that was good, right?
Did that really happen. Do you remember that?
Craig: I sit in chairs and do say
like that's comfortable.
Lauren: You seemed like you were
very comfortable.
Craig: I'm very passionate about
chairs that I have in my house.
Lauren: Do you get some chairs
for your house?
Craig: Now you're prying. Don't
be prying. Can I change the subject. And put it on you for a second.
Lauren: yes....
Craig: Here's a critic ... this
is from the Oregonean newspaper, this is what this critic is saying about
you.
Lauren: ohh
Craig: "Lauren Graham has silky
hair, sparkling eyes, and slim, graceful shoulders, that might have been
sculpted by Michaelangelo, had Renaissance women followed the teachings
of aerobics and low carb diets." (cheers from audience) That's nice!
Lauren: Umm
Craig: This is Peter Carlin of
the Oregoneon, to me it means Peter wants to meet you.
Lauren: I guess...... If that's
not what it means then I like to see what wants to meet you looks like.
That's nice, right. That doesn't resemble me really at all.
Craig: Silky hair. Your eyes do
sparkle.
Lauren: My hair is curly and crazy,
Its all......
Craig: Right now it's silky.
Lauren: I guess.
Craig: Sparkling eyes, that's definite.
That's why you got in the business, your sparkling eyes, the slim graceful
shoulders, have you ever been complimented on that.
Lauren: No, I'm like a swimmer.
You know. So that's very nice, I would like to say thank you. That is incredibly
nice.
Craig: You're a big star now. There
are going to be people, that are going to be sending out satellite people
to follow you into furniture stores. You've reached that level.
Lauren: I can only hope.
Craig: She's sitting in a char
.... she says it's comfortable......oh my God it's comfortable.....
Lauren: but isn't that fun, isn't
that kind of a fun, running thing.
Craig: I feel like...
Lauren: Do you feel creeped out
by it? Cause I'll stop.
Craig: I'm saying trespassing.
Lauren: Really?
Craig: Yeah.
Lauren: I feel like there is some
little part of you that kind of thinks this is kind of cool, though, don't
you.
Craig: If your satellite people
are hot, then yeah. (audience cheers) How did you spend your summer, big
star. what did you do?
Lauren: I tried to be a big star,
I can't do it. I went to the Hampdens, that's a cliché you're supposed
to do.
Craig: Ohhh.
Lauren: But I have like family
there, cousins, and we played scrabble, and umm Trivial Pursuit, which
is no fun, because my cousin Ted has all the cards memorized. It's fixed.
So then there was like a celebrity softball tournament, in South Hampden.
Craig: Sure.
Lauren: Where you there?
Craig: No, but I heard about these
things. When you're a celebrity.....
Lauren: Well I guess! And my cousins
were like "are you going to the softball tournament?" and I was like "what
softball tournament?" and they're like "it's a celebrity softball tournament."
and I'm like "You don't just show up!" like you just don't attend,
like Puff Daddy has to invite you or something.
Craig: Like your family doesn't
get how the celebrity thing works.
Lauren: No. So I like just ahhh,
it was lame. It was just lame. I feel bad because I Think I should have
more...
Craig: Do people recognize you
now out here in LA, more.
Lauren: People think that I look
like that girl on that show. Which is, then my only concern is that, because
really this happens all the time now. What can I do to help these nice
people out, like what can I do to look more like ... me.
Craig: Yeah. So they know.
Lauren: What kind of surgery, or
cosmetic procedure do I need to have to look more like myself.
Craig: Do you know what you do,
take your satellite, people off me, and have them follow you around.
And when you see some people , have your satellite people go "oh my God
it's Lauren Graham, it's Lauren Graham"
Lauren: Oh good.
Craig: Then the people will recognized
you and say "That's Lauren Graham."
Lauren: And I'll start like a mob
in the mall or something.
Craig: Good luck with that.
Lauren: Thanks.
Craig: Ok. We will be right back
with 5 Question!
Commercial break.
Craig: We are back with Lauren Graham,

Lauren: Well I feel I need to take
a look at my own obsessions, cause clearly I 'm obsessed with you and I
can't deny it. And i'm obsessed with 5 Questions. I'm obsessed with trivia,
and I've always had a fear, because I love 5 Questions so much, that, finally
