Lauren: Yes. Its will be Tuesdays, it on Thursdays right now. It will be on Tuesdays.
Craig: They were saying..... the critics like it.............They were saying you were snubbed, the Emmies snubbed you.
Lauren: Ohh. I think they were saying the same thing about you.
Craig: We were nominated...........(crowd cheers) .... Did you know, this is an unprecedented move, we were nominated and I said give our nomination to someone else, I'm not in it for the awards, I'm in it for the love of the job.
Lauren: That's, umm, that's beautiful.
Craig: Yeah.
Lauren: So is this upsetting for you?
Craig: No.
Lauren: I feel this is an issue you're needing to work out.
Craig: I could give.......Let me try to be clear....... I could give a rats ass about it.
Lauren: Oh really! That's fair enough.
Craig: This is fun.
Lauren: You know it's weird because usually its other people tell you you've been snubbed, and then you feel bad.
Craig: But it's nice, you do this show, you've only been on a year, and they say you should have been nominated.
Lauren: And you have only been doing this show a year.....
Craig: Couple years.
Lauren: I know........
Craig: You trying to ... you doing one of these (Craig pulls on his leg)
Lauren: No, No
Craig: That's my job.
Lauren: I worship you. Are you kidding. I have people out looking for you. You know that.
Craig: Explain this. This scares me, because I usually don't interview stalkers. But explain. Go ahead, what do you got. I'm listening.
Lauren: You know, last time I saw you, I had seen you a couple of times recently...
Craig: What are you talking about? On the show here?
Lauren: Last time on the show , when I was a guest on the show.
Craig: You were good.
Lauren: Thanks.....so were you.....It's like the coldest sex ever or some thing "You were good" "So were you"
Craig: Ok go ahead.
Lauren: I didn't mean to take it into a scary.......
Craig: Where did I see you otherwise?
Lauren: It was like events, you know like people do. Like I never do. Like I saw you at an award show, lets say.
Craig: Did I say hi to you?
Lauren: No, not really.....You know I took some amount of offense. Then I thought, this is like going to be my thing. Were like I will have a story, to tell you about you, every time I see you.
Craig: Oh, I see.
Lauren: It's because I'm a creative, imaginative person, that i do this. And I haven't seen you all summer, and I haven't seen you since the last time I was here.
Craig: No, I don't go out much.
Lauren: but I now have satellite people, out there looking for you.
Craig: Oh boy.
Lauren: And I got a call......
Craig: What happened? Where was I?
Lauren: It's just a game, people!
Craig: Where was I?
Lauren: You were at a furniture store with your "decorator" (crowd hoots and cheers)
Craig: at least we are calling him a decorator.
Lauren: and my friend calls me and she's like "I have Craig Kilborn in a green chair, in the corner. Wait, he is saying 'This is comfortable, my God this is comfortable.' "
Craig: That's hilarious.
Lauren: So that was good, right? Did that really happen. Do you remember that?
Craig: I sit in chairs and do say like that's comfortable.
Lauren: You seemed like you were very comfortable.
Craig: I'm very passionate about chairs that I have in my house.
Lauren: Do you get some chairs for your house?
Craig: Now you're prying. Don't be prying. Can I change the subject. And put it on you for a second.
Lauren: yes....
Craig: Here's a critic ... this is from the Oregonean newspaper, this is what this critic is saying about you.
Lauren: ohh
Craig: "Lauren Graham has silky hair, sparkling eyes, and slim, graceful shoulders, that might have been sculpted by Michaelangelo, had Renaissance women followed the teachings of aerobics and low carb diets." (cheers from audience) That's nice!
Lauren: Umm
Craig: This is Peter Carlin of the Oregoneon, to me it means Peter wants to meet you.
Lauren: I guess...... If that's not what it means then I like to see what wants to meet you looks like. That's nice, right. That doesn't resemble me really at all.
Craig: Silky hair. Your eyes do sparkle.
Lauren: My hair is curly and crazy, Its all......
Craig: Right now it's silky.
Lauren: I guess.
Craig: Sparkling eyes, that's definite. That's why you got in the business, your sparkling eyes, the slim graceful shoulders, have you ever been complimented on that.
Lauren: No, I'm like a swimmer. You know. So that's very nice, I would like to say thank you. That is incredibly nice.
Craig: You're a big star now. There are going to be people, that are going to be sending out satellite people to follow you into furniture stores. You've reached that level.
Lauren: I can only hope.
Craig: She's sitting in a char .... she says it's comfortable......oh my God it's comfortable.....
Lauren: but isn't that fun, isn't that kind of a fun, running thing.
Craig: I feel like...
Lauren: Do you feel creeped out by it? Cause I'll stop.
Craig: I'm saying trespassing.
Lauren: Really?
Craig: Yeah.
Lauren: I feel like there is some little part of you that kind of thinks this is kind of cool, though, don't you.
Craig: If your satellite people are hot, then yeah. (audience cheers) How did you spend your summer, big star. what did you do?
Lauren: I tried to be a big star, I can't do it. I went to the Hampdens, that's a cliché you're supposed to do.
Craig: Ohhh.
Lauren: But I have like family there, cousins, and we played scrabble, and umm Trivial Pursuit, which is no fun, because my cousin Ted has all the cards memorized. It's fixed. So then there was like a celebrity softball tournament, in South Hampden.
Craig: Sure.
Lauren: Where you there?
Craig: No, but I heard about these things. When you're a celebrity.....
Lauren: Well I guess! And my cousins were like "are you going to the softball tournament?" and I was like "what softball tournament?" and they're like "it's a celebrity softball tournament." and I'm like "You don't just show up!" like you just don't attend, like Puff Daddy has to invite you or something.
Craig: Like your family doesn't get how the celebrity thing works.
Lauren: No. So I like just ahhh, it was lame. It was just lame. I feel bad because I Think I should have more...
Craig: Do people recognize you now out here in LA, more.
Lauren: People think that I look like that girl on that show. Which is, then my only concern is that, because really this happens all the time now. What can I do to help these nice people out, like what can I do to look more like ... me.
Craig: Yeah. So they know.
Lauren: What kind of surgery, or cosmetic procedure do I need to have to look more like myself.
Craig: Do you know what you do, take your satellite, people off me, and have them follow you around. And when you see some people , have your satellite people go "oh my God it's Lauren Graham, it's Lauren Graham"
Lauren: Oh good.
Craig: Then the people will recognized you and say "That's Lauren Graham."
Lauren: And I'll start like a mob in the mall or something.
Craig: Good luck with that.
Lauren: Thanks.
Craig: Ok. We will be right back with 5 Question!
