Lauren Graham to Studio 60
for two episodes.
It seriously is. Maybe Lauren Graham recur as Lauren Graham... (She would've made a killer Jordan McDeere.) Especially since this is almost certainly Gilmore Girls' last season. (Without Amy Sherman Palladino, it will be a mercy killing.)
A well-placed source tells me that Lauren Graham will appear in a two-episode arc later this fall playing... Lauren Graham! Per my mole, she'll serve as the guest host of Studio 60's fictional SNL-esque show within a show.
This bit of stunt casting makes sense on so many levels. First off, silver-tongued Graham reciting Aaron Sorkin's golden prose? A marriage made in TV heaven. ...

There is almost no one better to do Aaron Sorkin material than Lauren Graham.
Maybe when Gilmore Girls ends she can be a regular.
yeah, as herself. a bunch of actors did it in Larry Sanders (one of the sources of inspiration for the show)--e.g., David Duchovny.
As for Graham and Sorkin's dialogue... We'll see. This wiould seem to afford the opportunity for Sorkin to *write* the Lorelai character -- within the context of a skit.
Wonder if we will glimpse a full-on Gilmore Girls parody?? How cool would that be??
