The Gilmore Girls Actress You Didn't Know Appeared On Seinfeld
Mia Walsh According to The Guardian, because the show's mantra was "no hugging, no learning," that meant the characters were bound to keep making mistakes, both personal and professional. For Jerry's character, this often meant cycling through a number of girlfriends, many of whom were portrayed by actresses who would later become household names. Among them were Kristin Davis, Amanda Peet, Courteney Cox, Debra Messing, Janeane Garofalo, and many, many more.
Also among Jerry's girlfriends was future "Gilmore Girls" and "Parenthood" star, Lauren Graham. Graham plays Valerie in a 1997 episode titled "The Millennium," wherein she changes Jerry's spot on her speed dial based on their date prior (as seen on YouTube). And Graham isn't the only future "Gilmore Girls" star who cropped up on "Seinfeld" — Graham's "Gilmore Girls" love interest, Scott Patterson (aka Luke), also appeared on the comedy series in 1995, playing one of Elaine's boyfriends (per IMDb).
In the era of reboots and reunions, Jerry Seinfeld denies there's any potential of the "Seinfeld" cast getting back together. "I like to go forward in life. I believe that going forward. I don't know what we would do that would be good," he said at a Netflix press junket, in honor of the show joining the streaming service (via People).
Plus, should there ever be a "Seinfeld" reunion, how would they ever decide which of Jerry's girlfriends to bring back?
