John Oliver Responds to His Name Check in the Gilmore Girls Reboot
Ever since it was announced that Gilmore Girls was getting a rebirth on Netflix, fans of the original have been freaking out, and quite rightly. The show featured a sharp, funny, modern approach to life that leaned heavily on up-to-the-moment cultural references. In a teaser released a few days ago, the show-runners proved that they haven’t lost that spirit.
One line from the teaser, in particular, got a lot of laughs. The character of Lorelei wondered if British intellectual and HBO talkshow host John Oliver would find her attractive.
Oliver, of course, heard that he’d been name checked and responded on The Late Show. Skip ahead to 5:46 to see, or watch the whole way through to hear him talk about Hillary Clinton‘s VP pick, Tim Kaine.
There you have it. Oliver thinks that Lorelei Gilmore is en fuego.
