Matt bet the "Vanity Fair" reporter a C-note that she would be unable to get him to talk about his relationship with Harriet.

In her interview with Martha, Harriet revealed her real first name, and the fact that her father and brothers were not very religious and it was her mother that brought her to Christ.

Answer: Lauren Graham

Graham portrayed Lorelai Gilmore on the popular television series "Gilmore Girls".

After the dress rehearsal Matt and Danny would meet in Matt's office to decide which sketches would make it to the live broadcast.
