Pretty fun. When I watched this Episode before I had ever been interviewed by you, but now I also pieced together that I was definitely reading your articles when I was dreaming of being in the industry.

Well, how cool is that? Thanks for sharing!

It is wild to me that they mentioned a name at all, then not a made-up name, and then your name!

Right. You wouldn't necessarily think that a show about fictional characters in a fictional town would reference an honest-to-goodness person and more or less get the context and info correct.

Oh man, this made my day. I confess I never watched the show, but my wife was a HUGE Gilmore Girls fan and saw every episode. She would have never made that connection, but it's fantastic to know you had a role (sorta?) in it! What a great honor, that's one show that seems to have been universally beloved.

Thanks Tim. It was an honor for me to get the shoutout. But I think it was good for the industry in general to be acknowledged like that on a broadcast television show.

Haha, this is amazing! And what an honor to be included in the show! I was a regular Gilmore Girls viewer at the time but wasn’t familiar with your work yet so it didn’t register. Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks Boaz. It's a blast from my past that I wanted to bring to my Substack subscribers.

OMG! I had no idea. This is crazy. Too bad the girls never actually took the trip and checked out the coasters.
