She can’t look! Melissa McCarthy got candid about why she has a hard time watching anything she’s starred in — including Gilmore Girls.
“I watched [the Gilmore Girls pilot] with Vivianne once, my oldest [daughter], and … it was just, watching her watch it,” the Bridesmaids star, 52, said during a Tuesday, May 23, appearance on Today. “I’m also always afraid [that] somehow, something [is] going to happen and I’m going to be found in the room watching my own thing. So I have a super paranoia about it.”
McCarthy went on to explain that Gilmore Girls isn’t the only project that triggers her worries — she also avoids her entire film catalog.
“I’m always like, what if I pass out and paramedics come in and the takeaway is, ‘She’s watching her own stuff.’ Pretty weird,” she admitted. “It’s all I ever think when we turn on [the TV] and it’s me. I’m like, ‘Oh God, do I feel light-headed?’ I don’t want to pass out in a room where myself is playing [on screen]. I know I shouldn’t talk about that, it makes me sound nuts.”
While the Tammy actress can’t handle watching her show in her free time, she does admire how Gilmore Girls has transcended over time as it’s been discovered by the younger generation.
“It has had this generational [effect],” McCarthy mused. “Young people that watched it [originally], now that they have kids, they watch it with their kids. And their kids watch it with their own friends. It had legs on it that I didn’t really expect.”
The WB hit, which was written by Amy Sherman-Palladino, ran for seven seasons from 2000 to 2007. Along with McCarthy, the series starred Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel as the iconic mother-daughter duo Lorelai and Rory Gilmore. The Little

Melissa McCarthy and Javier Bardem are well aware of how iconic and beloved their roles in Disney’s live-action “The Little Mermaid” film are — and they were more than prepared to do them justice.
McKinley Franklin editor “The Little Mermaid” makeup designer Peter Smith King has responded to criticisms of the revamped Ursula look that Melissa McCarthy brings to life in the new live-action remake, specifically contending against a belief that a queer artist should have landed the job. Rob Minkoff, the character animator of the original 1989 film, pulled reference from the late drag performer Divine for Ursula. When speaking with Time, Minkoff said “Divine seemed like such a great, larger-than-life character, and it just seemed like a funny and quirky idea to take [Ursula] and treat her more like a drag queen.” Since the first footage of McCarthy’s Ursula was revealed, King’s iteration of the aquatic villain has been met with criticism from some drag performers. “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 14 contestant Kerri Colby responded to a video on Twitter, stating that “[this is] absolutely why we should hire up and coming queer artists with a pulse on the present and a vision for the future more often.”
