The Famous ‘Gilmore Girls’ Cameos You Totally Forgot About

Uhhh, since when was Jon Hamm in Gilmore Girls?

As the Gilmore Girls revival gets closer and closer, we’ve been going full #TBT and re-watching the entire series. Obviously.

One of the things we’ve noticed (other than the fact that a bunch of junk-food fiends never gain any weight) is that there are a LOT of famous guest stars. Some you may remember, others we guarantee you will have forgotten about! But these are our faves…

1. Jon Hamm

The Mad Men star had a short scene with Lorelai as “Peyton Sanders.” He was boring.

2. Chad Michael Murray

Okay, you probably remember this guy but it doesn’t mean he can’t be on the list! Chad played Tristan Dugray, who was the classic schoolboy masking his affection for Rory as disdain. He was sort of an ass, but you kind of wanted them to get together.

3. Krysten Ritter

The Jessica Jones star was Yale student Lucy, who went out with Rory’s awkward friend Marty. She was quirky and artsy, and one of Rory’s few cool friends in the series.

4. Adam Brody

Seth Cohen starred as Lane’s adorable rockstar boyfriend, Dave Rygalski. He moved away to college and Lane moved on and married/had babies with his best friend Zach. I still consider this a dick move, Lane.

5. Nick Offerman

Parks and Rec star Nick played Jackson’s older brother, Beau Belleville.

6. Victoria Justice

She might be a glowed-up superstar now, but back then she was just a random little child at a birthday party catered by Suki.

7. Max Greenfield

Nowadays he’s better known as the insane Schmidt from New Girl, but back in the day he played one of Dean’s bros, who showed up drunk at Luke’s diner after a raging bachelor party. Check his floppy hair…

8. Jane Lynch

She played a nurse on GG, and sadly lacked the same ‘tude she rocked as Sue Sylvester on Glee.

9. Danny Pudi

You might know him as the adorable Abed Nadir in Community, but he also had a small role as Yale Daily News contributor Raj.

10. Nasim Pedrad

She might be a famous SNL comedian, and star of Scream Queens, but she was gifted the role of random waitress on Gilmore Girls. She dealt with a very drunk and annoying Rory, and that’s about it.
