Millions of viewers watch and love Amy Sherman-Palladino's cult-favorite "Gilmore Girls," but Melissa McCarthy may no longer be one of them. She confessed in a "Sunday Today" interview that she no longer watches "Gilmore Girls" in her own home, not even with either of her daughters. "I'm also always afraid somehow, something's going to happen, and I'm going to be found in a room watching my own thing. So I have a super paranoia about, 'I can't watch my own stuff in the house,'" the Oscar nominee shared.
The paranoia goes so deep that McCarthy joked that she has come up with a scenario where she passes out, and the paramedics have to come, only to find her in her room watching herself on television. Sheepishly admitting that if she does sit down to find herself onscreen, she thinks, "'Ooo, God. Do I feel lightheaded?' I don't want to pass out in a room where my stuff is playing."
Even though many of those who grew up loving the show are now sharing it with their children, the "Bridesmaids" star probably won't be one of them, though she did obviously enjoy her time on set. Her girls will just have to watch their mom play Sookie for all seven seasons on their own.
