Milo Ventimiglia, Amy Sherman-Palladino, Dan Palladino Reflect on ‘Gilmore Girls,’ Talk TV Writing
“Hi, Mom and Dad.”
That’s how “This Is Us” star Milo Ventimiglia greeted Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino, the creators of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” when Variety reunited them for a conversation about their craft. After all, Ventimiglia grew up on the set of “Gilmore Girls,” in which he played Rory’s erstwhile love interest Jess. Ten years later, they still serve as mentors to the actor, exchanging frequent emails and offering parental advice, which the actor gratefully accepts.
After ensuring he’d had enough to eat (and had a sweater on hand in case the air conditioning kicked into overdrive), they got serious — talking about what they learned from working with each other, setting the tone on the set, and yes, even a potential reunion on “Maisel.”
“Don’t think it has not been discussed!” says Sherman-Palladino. “It’s got to be the right part. It can’t be just a cameo.
