Kelly Bishop Remembers Favorite Moments As Emily Gilmore On ‘Gilmore Girls’ | TODAY Originals
Great actress! No one could’ve played Emily Gilmore better than her.
I agree
so true
Except for Meryl streep maybee
So true
@@abreeze579 not even Meryl could top Kelly Bishop in this role 😂
The mother-daughter tension between Emily and Lorelai was the most underrated aspects of the show. They love each other but don't know how to be in each other's lives. It's so well scripted and acted!
The funny thing is we always said that Rory got her sarcasm for Lorelei, but never gave the credit to Emily. She would go toe to tor with Lorelei that's why we love their scenes together.
so trueee
Agree. And the show doesn’t try to fix it or sentimentalize it. It let them be who they are and reach each other from across that chasm.
Helped me with my relationship with my own mother. Same situation -- we loved each other but just didn't "get" each other.
This is what makes them so relatable! Kelly bishop and lauren graham are so great together! I love their scenes!
I don't understand why she wasn't nominated for an emmy for A Year in the life! She was outstanding!
Cause a year in the life was bad, Rory was in her 30s acting like a brat. The musical was bad.
@@erleenwilmen7667 A/ the reasons you gave have nothing to do with a specific actor’s performance. It could be the worst film or tv show in the world and the actor still receives an Emmy nomination for their performance. B/ you just mentioned two very random things about the revival that are your own opinion. Rory acting like a ‘brat’ was just the same Rory from the OG series just a bit older. Rory always got what she wanted. C/ the musical was 10 minutes too long in my opinion, but was also part of the weakest episode from the 4. All and All Kelly Bishop’s performance was outstanding and deserved award nominations at least!
@@erleenwilmen7667 disagree. I loved it.
@@erleenwilmen7667 I always hated Rory. She was always a brat who got away with everything. But I think It's script's fault not necessarily actresses 🤔
@@andreasa8486 I agree wholeheartedly with every single point you conveyed.
She had the absolute BEST storyline in the revival. To see Emily find that self-love she was always looking for was BRILLIANT. Kelly Bishop is such a phenomenal actress.
Emily and Jess really had the best character development! Other than that, ASP screwed everyone else up
Literally only reason I enjoyed the revival was because of Emily's storyline
@@monikacrljen6827 Me too!!
Emily's story was the ONLY good thing about AYITL.
My favorite part of the revival! ♡
The older I get the more I understand Emily in Gilmore Girls
Same!!!
THIS! As a kid and a teen I sided with Lorelai but as an adult, all i think is “what’s Lorelai a problem? Her mom is only trying to help on most of the scenes.” She did cross a line a few
Times (inviting Chris to her vow renewal and saying disparaging things about the men Rory and lorelai dated. But other than that, she was spot on with so many things. Even trying to buy Lor and Luke a house after Lor complained the whole day about helping her run errands after her eye surgery
😆
@@h3artands0uLL same! Now Lorelai just looks immature to me
Sameeee
Gilmore girls is like comfort food for the heart!!
Yesssss comforting, warming, calming..
So well put. Like visiting old friends.
Like a cup of Coffee for the soul.
My favorite scenes
1. At the mall losing her mind shopping and at the food court
2. Her bargaining with Lanes mom at the antique store
3. Getting a DUI and having more Lorelai pick her up also in the same type of scene having eye surgery and having Lorelai pick her up.
4. Her complete and utter despair coming in from a date(after being completely charming and put together throughout it) when she really realized that she doesn’t want to be on a date she wants Richard back
Started busting out laughing from the first one 😂😂😂
All great Emily moments! I think #3 is my favorite 😂😂😂
Her take down of Shira Huntsberger. Gold!
@@barbparker6129 Soooo goooood!!!!
Yeees great list
I just started the series again today for the 1000th time. It's so weird that now I'm Lorelai's age and not Rory's... It gives me a totally different perspective.
Haha yes I can keep thinking omg I could have a child...who's 16😳
Same! I watched it first when I was Rory's age and then again when I was Lorelai's. It was a completely different show for me. I related to both of them in different stages of my life.
Just think ladies you'll relate to Emily in a little more time
Except Lorelei always acts like she’s Rorys age. 😂
That is so great 🙌 I am 29 so almost 30 and I never thought of that 🤭
I'm a 43 yr old man and I watch the "Gilmore Girls" almost every night to destress and feel good before I go to sleep. It's the best !
Same ❤️
Same!!
Same!
Amen me too! I try to sneak an episode or two a day minimum.
I watch a bit each morning while getting ready!!! it’s so good for heart
Let's not forget her reading Shira Huntzberger for filth lol, she's the bestttt!!!
YES!!
That was the best!
I loved that scene so much 🤣
Even better is the diner scene where they revisit it, and all fight, but also get along
Loved the cold way she did then^^
I hate the revival but they wrapped up (Emily) her story perfectly I love how much she grew.
I don't understand how they put that on the air, it was so bad.... what didn't you like about it??
@@nikkilee143 i really did not like the musical. I always skip that part. It’s not even good on its own, and I dont understand how it adds to the story.
Agreed. They ruin the other two Gilmore girls stories especially Rory. She was a mess. It was disappointing. I've watched the original Gilmore girls series many many times but only watched the reunion once because it was so poorly written.
@@bpgk2007 Nooo, you need to try it one more time. I did the same thing, I only watched it once and was disappointed. Then I rewatched it recently, the whole series, and it actually makes sense when you watch the revival a second time.
@@nikkilee143 the revival was on Netflix.
"Well then, buy me a boa and drive me to Reno because I'm open for business" lol the best!
YES! 😂
This woman has not aged a freakin day since gilmore girls and dirty dancing 🥰💯
WAIT... OMG I NEVER REALIZED SHE WAS ON THAT MOVIE ! i haven’t seen it in forever
@@graciekatelyn3000 DUH SHE PLAYED"BABY'S" MOM!
The best actress on the show. Period.
Agreed =) I just love her!
@@lscn12 I'm glad they treated her well in the Netflix sequal too, she was pretty much the only one who showed serious depth there, in terms of character's growth.
She and Paris were the best characters on the show.
Just like Maggie Smith on Downton Abbey: Emily always got the best lines. Delivered with aplomb.
Her and Liza Weil are neck and neck for me
This show literally keeps me sane. I cannot count the times I have rewatched this.
23 times from beginning to end and the end to beginning
i have a problem but i do not care
I honestly can’t. I’m in 9th grade now and I’ve watched at least 1 episode a day every day since 4th grade. The show is such a constant in my life. The only exception to that is that I sometimes skip season six because that one season for me isn’t the same when Lorelei and Rory aren’t talking
@@saharaasher8959 DUHHHHHHHHH
I CAN'T WATCH THAT SEASON EITHER
IT LOWKEY MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE
#OBSSESSDFANS
XDDDDDDD
Me too
Same. I was a teen when this was on originally and now I watch it with my own daughter.
Petition for a spin off of Emily after she dropped out of society
If you watch Bunheads, I like to think the character Kelly Bishop plays is that exact AU. 😱
Yes! I wanna see her life in Nantucket lol
Honestly would love to see that happen, there’s so much room for a wonderful story focusing on her life as Emily now
YES! I would love that! 👍
That’s no fair. Why does she look YOUNGER than she did 20 years ago when Gilmore Girls started??😱😫
It’s called a good makeup artist! Lol.
@@fables4564lol yep
plastic surgery
Right?!? I mean no offense to anyone else but he has aged the least amount of anyone!
@@dmallow22 he? Lol
Emily had the best evolution through the show, none of the characters had anywhere near such a wonderful progression (some even got worse *cough* Rory *cough*)
Jenna Marie loL 😆 cute
Rory was so boring. My least favorite Gilmore Girl
@@OzmaOfOzz Rory as a character is already perfected in season 3. There's really no much character development after season 3. Season 5 Rory is awful, the revival Rory is just as bad if only not worse. God I miss the young and vibrant Rory they presented us in the first 3 seasons.
Yes, i already lost all respect for Rory when she hooked up with married Dean. Then improved when she was with Logan. But to see the bright young girl be such a hot mess in the revival (forgetting her boyfriends name all the time, hooking up with an engaged Logan as if she hasn’t learned her lesson about getting with already committed men, and not even being able to find underwear) I was like... I respected you at some point? 🥴
Rory is my least favorite Gilmore girl, ranking even lower than Richard’s mother 😒
I love that she uses first person when talking about Emily “I was smoking” “My husband wasn’t there to support me” it’s precious
Emily Gilmore was such a hoot! You could easily see where Lorelai got her sense of humor.
Also, seeing her wearing jeans in the revival was GOLD!
My favourite Emily moment is nearer the start of the series when everyone is arguing over Lorelai (over getting pregnant at 16, over her keeping the baby but refusing to get married, etc.). Emily finds Rory in the kitchen and reassures Rory that no matter what, she is loved and valued and she is NOT a mistake... That scene always warms my heart 🥰🥰
Yes. In that society sometimes children be in out of wedlock are treated as shameful. Why she was harsh on Lorlie for her choices at no point did she act like Rory herself was an embarrassment.
She always wanted to help her and have a relationship. She always wanted one with Lorlie too even if she went about it in the wrong way at times.
I LOVE the DAR scene, Emily saying bulls**t was everything
You don't think we know Logan's reputation? We dooo
@@Leftand210 😂😂
Definitely!
I'm a man in my 30s and I recently watched an episode on Netlfix and ended up watching the whole series.
The reason I stayed: the relationships are so REAL. Two side to the story every time so every character is relatable.
I've watched as a daughter
I'm watching now as a mother
And I hopefully will watch one day as a grandmother.
Emily Gilmore is such an icon my favorite scene of her is when she called out Shira Huntzberger
That moment was 🔥
She read her to filth 😂 Such an icon 😌
Definitely!
I love the episode where Emily said: Im climbing out the window, I’m climbing out the window and she took off her skirt!!! Was so funny!!! I laught every time I see it!!! Love her character and of course the amazing actress.
Yes 😂 and loved how she shouted at Lorelai "Stop talking to the dogs!!!"
@@voyance4elle that scene has me dying each time 😂😭💀
“my husband’s mother” “our wedding” I love how she refers to emily in the first person
The older I get the more Emily becomes my favorite character whenever I rewatch episodes.
Yes!! As I watched it for the first time I was just a kid. Now I’m in love with her, totally
She's manipulative and doesn't know how to communicate but I still love her
I don't understand why she never got nominated for an Emmy for this role. She delivered lines so caustically and yet you still liked her.
I’ve gone dark on social media till after the election. I decided to rewatch all seasons and additional 4 reboots again to maintain some sanity. I’m sure many do the same but this is my 9th round and I just finished my 8th only a week ago. Stars Hollow is my happy place.
Debra Florez feel ya on this.. sick of all the political insanity on all sides.
@@winniejohnson5559 but please VOTE!
I’m with you
Same here, I’ve been binge watching and it feels like Stars Hollow is the place to be. It feels like its my comfort pillow.
I VERY much agree. This is my happy place too. Sometimes I get to the end and I say, "I'm done -- no more." Then a few days later I'm back. I really like the episode, "Love, War and Snow" from the first season. My daughter got married last year and her mother-in-law has not seen Gilmore Girls (?!!). So, I am starting to introduce the "Girls" to her.
I also remember this show as something my daughter watched. Then, when it was on in re-runs we would watch it together after school while I made dinner. My mother had died and I needed a pick-me-up. By watching this it seemed as though she was still with us.
Before Dame Maggie Smith played the Dowager Countess on ‘Downton Abbey’, there was Kelly Bishop as Emily Gilmore, the Empress of Zingers and Sick Burns.
My favourite thing about Gilmore Girls is that I can watch it over and over, it literally never gets boring. I find more things every single time.
Emily Gilmore is what Lucille Bluth would be if she were sober
OMG, that's so true tho! 😂😂
Omg yes!!!
OMG that comment made me literally laugh out loud! I can 100% picture it haha
Omg right? Sometimes I get them mixed up because they’re similar in a lot of ways
My two favorite shows! Yessss!
The reason we’ve all watched this so many times is because there are 100 genius jokes per minute we can never remember them all so it’s like a new experience every time.💖
Multilayered too!
Gilmore girls always gave me that hot chocolate on a Saturday morning during the Christmas holidays vibes 💞 I love it sm
😍🥺 oooh yes 💖
Yes! That’s when I tend to re-watch Gilmore Girls - Autumn/Winter time 🥰
Kelly Bishop was absolutely the best person to play Emily Gilmore! This interview shows what a tremendous class act she is. And, gosh! She looks amazing!
Can we all talk about how Kelly lost her TV husband Edward Herrmann (Richard) in 2016 and has made sure to mention him in every cast reunion. And then just recently she lost her real life husband of 37 years Lee Leonard in 2018? She lost these two important people in 2 years time :(. I hope she’s living what Emily Gilmore is living out on the island during the revival. Self healing and love and finding new passions for hobbies. I hope she feels fulfilled and loved and loves others... not at all ever alone. I feel for her so much. We love you Kelly!
I read a lot of the posts and add my two cents. I have rewatched Gilmore Girls to block out all the negative going on in the world. It’s such a pleasant show to watch. No reality crap, no cursing, no hate. I’m not saying the characters are perfect but it’s decent people.
Nobody is perfect and that’s what makes life special
exactly. It's entertaining and clever and funny without being pure trash
Emily: a woman we all love to love and hate.
"When a woman gives birth to a crack baby, you do not buy her a puppy!"
Favorite line😂
I don't remember that part😂
She hit the nail on the head about troops deploying. I deployed to Afghanistan, and when I got back, I re-watched all of Girlmore Girls.
That fascinates me because I never heard about it but I find it absoulutely understandable 💯
i agree though about how there arent "bad" people in the show. everyoen's just ttrying to make it and i loved the character development in the show which made it so wholesome to me. For example, when you see Taylor when he knows he's about to lose the election and there's that shot of Lorelai seeing him sitting alone in his shop and the lights are dim. It's things liek that that show you such vulnerable sides of characters you may not have thought much about otherwise.
Yes exactly! Poor Taylor!
And he was eating the whipped cream out of the can
Yes that scene was so sad :(
This show is exceptional.
The only really mean character was Rune, Jackson's cousin!! He was misogynistic and just an ahole..
AMAZING actress! She plays the nuance of Emily so well, I always go from hating how ruthless she is, to understading how hurt she has been from "losing" her daughter, to absolutely adoring ow savage she can be!
I love Emily Gilmore. Especially her evolution in the revival.
“The smarter you are, the more you get it” love GG 💛 so much
Emily had the best lines of the show! Kelly is beautiful inside and out!
I'm on my 8th time binging Gilmore Girls. I just became a widow and this show brings me JOY. SO MUCH JOY💖
Mis. Bishop is a superb actress,.She was one of the pillars that made that show awesome. Yes, it was a feel good show. I binged watched it for the first time during Covid , and it was a wonderful feel good ,escape!
This series was incredible. It has been my ‘therapy ‘for years. Multigenerational and very well written. Kelley Bishop is a wonderfully versatile actress and did an amazing job ! So thankful they did this interview...
Can't count how many times I've watched GILMORE GIRLS from Seasons 1-7. 😍😍😍
My favourite Emily moment was definitely, “I saw her kissing a man in a sweatsuit!”
LOLOL So many iconic quotes! I mean, they were funny in context and even funnier out of context! So nonsensical either way but it totally makes sense to where her standards were! 😂😂😂😂
Gosh! I love Emily!
The best dialogue is when she talks to lorelai about being a canoe and lorelai says "i am a kayak hear me roar"
❤️ Emily. The original Gilmore Girl
I loved Emily Gilmore! She is literally a replica of my grandmother down to her voice, attitude, character, sharpness, wittiness and strive for nothing but excellence and no matter what issues she has with her daughter never lets that get in the way for the love of her grandmother. I miss her so much and this show brought her alive again for me
She was such a character omg! Her mother-daughter relationship was just gold.
I watched this show because of my FIL... if not for men watching it, I'd never have started when I did (if ever). First I teased him that it was just because Lauren was gorgeous, but he was VERY insistent that this wasn't it. My husband started to listen while I was watching and he also got hooked. After it ended, for our next anniversary, he bought me (us) the boxed collection of DVDs. ❤️
Omg i so agree with everything she said why Gilmore girls is so popular.. i’ve watched all seasons over 10 times
My dad’s parents (who couldn’t afford to travel for the wedding) called him the night before he married my mom asking him to to go through with it.
They’ve been married 55 years. I think he made the right choice.
The fact that "The Reigning Lorelai" is her favorite episode is absolutely wonderful.
Agreed! I was surprised. It is my favorite episode as well.
This is one of the best series ever written. I didn’t discover it until 2016, but it has been my refuge the last few years. It always makes me feel great and like Kelly says, it is all about what the world can be again. Everyone was perfectly cast in this show.
She was the best part of the show in my opinion! Every time I rewatch it I love her more!! ❤️
She “s so gorgeous even with age .
I love her acting, love how sophisticated she is. And that smile of hers is really charming
I love Kelly Bishop so much! She's a great actress. And whenever I watch her interviews, I can't help but thinking that she's a great human being too. ❤
the end on what she said about the show being innately decent was so well said.
why did i tear up lolll i love her even more now.
I love her attitude towards critiquing it, it’s so clear she’s watched it and given it so much love and thought ❤️
the way she delivers her speech is so flawless and graceful, and she's so funny, just like emily!! i love her actor
Emily had some ZINGERS on the show! She’s become my favorite every time I rewatch. Her quips and dry sarcasm have me pausing the show to laugh and the rewinding one more time to watch her again lol. The older Ive gotten the more I appreciate her humor.
I love Kelly Bishop so much! She is so talented. I had such a great time watching Gilmore Girls as a teenager thanks to her.
Great actress, so talented
Kelly Bishop is one of the greatest actresses I have ever had the honor of watching. Her gifts and her talents for conveying a world of emotion with even a single glance is remarkable! 💟
My husband started watching Gilmore Girls with me and he loves it and laughs and laughs.
Still trying to get my bf to enjoy even just a little
As a teenager I always watched it with my dad😅 He loved the show. But I can't imagine watching it now with my boyfriend
Oh i love that so much ❤️
I love this woman’s voice. Iconic.
"Richard !! I need a gimlet !!"
Hahahaha yes
Her description of why people like this show is spot on. It’s decent people💯❤️
She's so right about the feel-good factor when you're in a dark place. My mom and I watched loads of Gilmore Girls after my dad died because it's so gentle and funny. It was exactly the TV we needed at the time.
I love this show! And I love watching it with my daughters and using it in our homeschool, it really is smart and full of great references. My daughter just finished The Outsiders and picked up the Ponyboy reference and I couldn't be prouder 😂
Many years ago, my husband came home from a really hard day from police academy. He looked tired and bummed out and he sighed and said, “can we watch Gilmore girls?” So it’s true. It comforting!
I loved seeing Kelly Bishop in "Halston" on Netflix. She should be in EVERYTHING. There's no such thing as "too much Kelly Bishop"
I love Kelly sooo much. Her personality the most and Emily Gilmore is just a cherry on top
I love her as an actress. I also liked her character. Lorelie always had to push against whatever her mom wanted but really Emily always had the family's best interest at heart.
The Gilmore Girls is literally for everybody. I think it should be watched by all! How can somebody not love this show?! ❤️❤️❤️
I cant say enough how much I adore Kelly Bishop ❤ she's phenomenal
I first watched Gilmore Girls, when I was in Afghan in 2010. It kept me sane and I'm not even American. It was suggest by an American girl I worked with. Have loved it ever since
She described the show so perfectly 🥺💞💞
She was born to play Emily Gilmore. Period. I think I enjoyed this show so much because of her. Emily’s character reminded me so much of my own grandmother. 😂
She was also Baby's mother on Dirty Dancing!
Was shocked when I found that out. Love Dirty Dancing!
Oh yeah! Wow, I never put that together. Cool.
Emily was by far my favourite character. She had the best lines and her character showed the most growth.
I freaking love her in Gilmore Girls! She hasn't age since season 1 of Gilmore Girls. So beautiful.
I still like watching it because it's relaxing. And the drama is just emotional. No one dies.
Adorable hear Kelly Bishop likes/loves about Gilmore girls.
I love her, her character always makes me laugh and cry too she is so emotional
She still looks so great! I ran into her in Austin, TX a few years ago and she was very sweet.
Iconic. Beautiful. So classy.
Wow! I can totally to relate when she said men and women come back from overseas and they need to escape by watching Gilmore Girls. I did the same exact thing a few weeks ago, with everything going on in the world these days I needed to go back to a good place. This is my third time watching the entire season and I needed the escape to a safe place. Thank you to all the people involved in this show.
Gosh i love her so much
I always enjoyed watching Gilmoregirls
The mother daughter relationship was so brilliantly explored, that it has taught me so much in my personal life. She took all her daughter's rudeness and brushed it off, with a toss of her head. Smart enough to know that there was love underneath.
She also was, controlling and manipulated to Lorelai. Breaking uo Lorelai relationship cause Luke was beneath her. I can't stand her.
I love this show to this day. Discovered it when I was 15 years old and I'm almost 30. 15 years later and it's my favorite show. It Brought me so much comfort as I was growing up.
Kelly. You nailed it, why I love Gilmore Girls, funny, good writing, intelligent, decent and decent. During original airing I watched with my high school girls and boy. Thanks for the great acting.
Whoever watches GG in a constant loop? I love it so much. Whenever I reach the end of the 4 movies I bawl my eyes out. And then I start again with season 1 episode 1 ❤️
