Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel brought back memories of Gilmore Girls for fans around the world through their special presentation at the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards. Graham, who played Lorelai Gilmore, and Bledel, who acted as Rory Gilmore, came back together on stage at the ceremony to present the award for the comedy writing category on the occasion of Gilmore Girls' 25th anniversary.

The stage was designed to look like the porch of Lorelai's home, bringing a beautiful connection to the series. Witty comments and references to other prominent shows contemporary to Gilmore Girls made their segment special.

Starting on a hilarious note, Graham stated:

"25 years ago, a show called ‘Gilmore Girls’ premiered, and apparently took the season of fall hostage."

To which Bledel added:

"In spite of our autumnal dominance, ‘Gilmore was actually a very small show."

Talking about the show having 'no money' and getting leftover sheet cake from The Drew Carey Show brought more fun moments to their reunion segment. The duo also spoke about the show ER, continuing the comical back-and-forth on their show. Bringing the conversation towards writing, the duo went on to present the award for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series. The Studio won the award in the category.
