What a time to be alive right now — and to be a Gilmore Girls fan. Most of the show's beloved gang is back on set, filming the upcoming revival series for Netflix, and I, for one, could not be more excited. And clearly, I'm not alone — in addition to all of you, there are a bunch of celebs who are huge Gilmore Girls fans, too, from Parks and Rec star Retta to comedian and writer Mara Wilson.
It's no wonder everyone's been showing their Stars Hollow pride lately; tthe dramedy series, created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, ran from 2000 until 2007, but the antics of Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) have been given new life since the announcement of the revival, with a whole lot of renewed interest.

On the podcast Gilmore Guys, Porter, already a superfan of the show, became Adejuyigbe's guide as he experienced the series for the first time. The duo now have more than 150 episodes under their belt, and along the way they have brought on comedians like Beth Stelling, Jessica St. Clair, and Pete Holmes as guests, interviewed several members of the original show's cast and crew, and achieved a level of celebrity in their own right.
