Melissa McCarthy explains why she isn't part of the new Gilmore Girls show.

We’re all frothing — frothing — with excitement and caffeine overload about the new Gilmore Girls redux happening on Netflix imminently.

As we ticked off our cast checklist, we discovered a glaring oversight though. Allow me to illustrate.

However, McCarthy’s comedic skills were a revelation in Bridesmaids, and since that film she’s become a headliner in her own right. My feeling on the subject was perhaps that McCarthy had moved onto bigger and better things and wanted to leave the past where it was. Not so, says the actress.

I don’t know whether it was McCarthy’s “people” who screwed this up for all of us, but if it was, I shake my fist at them. I shake it hard.

Is it too late? Write that scene, Amy Sherman Palladino! The world needs you.
