Summary

Lauren Graham (The Z-Suite, Parenthood, Gilmore Girls) is a Golden Globe-nominated actor, producer, and author. Lauren joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the day Lauren drove by Dax and thought he was Brad Pitt, giving up the ghost that she’ll ever be the kind of person that dresses like she has a real job, and having a maternal relationship with her TV mom on Gilmore Girls in the absence of her own mother. Lauren and Dax talk about both hating having their picture taken, how being a tutor for the Princeton Review was actually a racket, and the dichotomy of being a good hang. Lauren explains finding herself able to clinically think about a child the age her mom stopped being around, how being in commercials gave her a purpose as well as the illusion of being productive, and the confusion of originally thinking the title of her new show was “The Disease Suite.”
