The WB / Andrew Eccles; HBOFirst Amy Schumer responded, now it's John Oliver's return to chime in regarding his Gilmore Girls shout out.
Netflix released the first Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life teaser at the 2016 TCA Summer Press Tour. It featured footage shot just for the trailer of Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel as Lorelai and Rory Gilmore talking about pop culture happenings. In the teaser, Graham's Lorelai wandered if Schumer would like her and later asked if Oliver, the host of HBO's Last Week Tonight, would think she was hot.
"Lorelai, the answer is yes I do find you hot and I'll tell you why. I'm a red-blooded male with an inbuilt heat detector," Oliver said on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, gesturing to his groin. "And my heat detector registers you as en fuego."
Schumer answered Lorelai on Twitter shortly after the trailer dropped.
"Do you think Amy Schumer would like me?" Loreali asked in the trailer. Rory said no.
"I would love her!" Schumer tweeted.
But according to Rory, Schumer wouldn't like her mom because of "water sports."
"Every single time I see her on vacation in a magazine she's doing water sports," Rory said.
"Oh no. That would not work at all," Lorelai said.
Schumer took that on as well. "I've only done 2 water sports and they took pictures of it both times. I promise I usually just lay there (sex too)," she tweeted.
No response from the corpse flower.
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life premieres Friday, Nov. 25 on Netflix.
