Question 1 of 10
1. Before going on to "Supernatural" stardom, this dashing duke of Doose's Market swept Rory off her feet with a certain hometown charm. He proved worthy as Rory's first love, defending her honor at every turn while never challenging her authority of the remote control. Who was the first boy to win the hand of the fair Rory? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Lorelai fell head over heals for a certain Stars Hollow diner owner, but not before getting tangled in many a "Love and Other Impossible Pursuits" along the way. To what well-read mister was Lorelai initially engaged to marry? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. This straight-laced guitar god strummed his way into Lane Kim's heart with Christian hymns and Bowie classics. Their romance, and their band Follow Them To The Edge Of The Desert, was short-lived however. Name the versatile virtuoso who ditched Stars Hollow for Orange County. Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. One of Rory's first acquaintances at Chilton Prep was not so musically gifted, though he did share a kiss with Rory while sitting haplessly at a piano. But when he tried it again as the lead in a Shakespeare skit, he was replaced as Romeo by Paris Geller. Who was this cocky miscreant who got shipped from Chilton to military school, only to show up at Tree Hill High? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Rory and Paris were each accepted at Yale University, where they likewise moved on up with their respective love interests. Rory was wooed by the heir to the Huntzberger media fortune, Logan. Meanwhile, Paris fell for a much older professor who once played a runner named Logan in a 1976 sci-fi classic. Who was Paris's May-December romance? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Ah, Jess. His and Rory's first kiss left him lovelorn and starry-eyed, but smooching this starlet eventually vaulted him into a famous film franchise as the son of one of the most heralded "Heroes" in the history of Hollywood. This was foreshadowed by Kirk's infamous victory lap following the Stars Hollow dance contest, to which the theme from the Oscar-winning original played. Who was Jess's cinematic daddy, and likewise the name of the film in which he co-starred? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. Perhaps if Lane would have actually kissed this Chilton preppy, instead of only getting "Phoo Action" over the phone, his "'80s" television gig would have lasted longer. Who went on to star in a short-lived sitcom spin-off of "That '70s Show"? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. This character kissed the same Gilmore girl for the entirety of the series. Technically, the venerable actor who portrayed this mainstay was not one of the show's stars, as he was always credited with a "Special Appearance by ...". Still, he went on to become the oldest intern at Seattle Grace Hospital. Who was this "Gilmore Girls" gramp? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. This cat was the other axe grinder in Lane's band. While he started out as a bit character, he ultimately decided Stars Hollow was "Where The Heart Is" before spawning "True Blood" not once, but twice. Who fathered the Hollow's hep twins? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. Kirk saw his 15 minutes of fame by starring in a self-made short "A Film By Kirk". He at long last found true love with Lulu; their marriage mojo obviously the reason he went on to land the role of the largely popular computer tech in those KGB.com commercials. Of course, everybody knows Kirk was originally known as Mick in the pilot episode of "Gilmore Girls". What, though, did he dub himself to avoid confusion when he named his maniac cat Cat Kirk?

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Before going on to "Supernatural" stardom, this dashing duke of Doose's Market swept Rory off her feet with a certain hometown charm. He proved worthy as Rory's first love, defending her honor at every turn while never challenging her authority of the remote control. Who was the first boy to win the hand of the fair Rory?

Answer: Dean Forester

Jared Padalecki (Dean) co-starred on "Supernatural" with Jensen Ackles, previously known for portraying Sami Brady's twin brother Eric on the soap opera "Days of our Lives". Eric obviously never kissed a Gilmore. However, actor Dan Wells stripped for one. Wells played the stripper at Luke's sister Liz's bachelorette party. Soon thereafter, Wells became notorious by assuming the role of Stan on "Days of our Lives". An ingenious temporary recast while actress Alison Sweeney (Sami) was on maternity leave, Stan was actually Sami in disguise.
2. Lorelai fell head over heals for a certain Stars Hollow diner owner, but not before getting tangled in many a "Love and Other Impossible Pursuits" along the way. To what well-read mister was Lorelai initially engaged to marry?

Answer: Max Medina

One of the classic scenes between Lauren Graham (Lorelai) and Scott Cohen (Max) took place in the episode "The Breakup: Part 2". After having split up to protect Max's teaching career, Lorelai decided to go a calling, showing up at Max's door unannounced.

The two ended up in the throes of love, and director Nick Marck decided to have fun with portraying the couple's taboo tryst. A sci-fi fan who has directed episodes of "Northern Exposure" and "The X-Files", Marck mocked up Graham and Cohen's wardrobe so the two resembled a couple of infamous "Star Trek" characters: Mr. Spock and Data.
3. This straight-laced guitar god strummed his way into Lane Kim's heart with Christian hymns and Bowie classics. Their romance, and their band Follow Them To The Edge Of The Desert, was short-lived however. Name the versatile virtuoso who ditched Stars Hollow for Orange County.

Answer: Dave Rygalski

Lane started drumming when she became enamored with a drum kit at a newly opened music store in Stars Hollow. She couldn't afford to purchase the kit, but convinced shop-owner Sophie Bloom to let her play it at the store late in the evening after closing. Sophie was portrayed by singer/songwriter Carole King, who of course sings the "Gilmore Girls" theme song "Where You Lead (I Will Follow)".
4. One of Rory's first acquaintances at Chilton Prep was not so musically gifted, though he did share a kiss with Rory while sitting haplessly at a piano. But when he tried it again as the lead in a Shakespeare skit, he was replaced as Romeo by Paris Geller. Who was this cocky miscreant who got shipped from Chilton to military school, only to show up at Tree Hill High?

Answer: Tristin Dugray

Liza Weil (Paris) must have derived a little Rory mojo from the kiss, having gone on to guest star on a "CSI" episode titled "A Space Oddity". The episode title is taken from a David Bowie song of the same name, from which Lorelai once sang the opening line to close the classic episode "Eight O'Clock At The Oasis".
5. Rory and Paris were each accepted at Yale University, where they likewise moved on up with their respective love interests. Rory was wooed by the heir to the Huntzberger media fortune, Logan. Meanwhile, Paris fell for a much older professor who once played a runner named Logan in a 1976 sci-fi classic. Who was Paris's May-December romance?

Answer: Asher Fleming

"Logan's Run" is considered by many sci-fi purists to be the quintessential action film of the genre, as its release predated "Star Wars" by a year. Michael York (Asher Fleming) is one of the most accomplished actors to ever appear on "Gilmore Girls", boasting an extensive resume that spans from the mid-1960s to the present.

His range of work includes the role of D'Artagnan in Richard Lester's 1973 classic "The Three Musketeers" and the role of Basil Exposition in the 1999 iconic comedy "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me".
6. Ah, Jess. His and Rory's first kiss left him lovelorn and starry-eyed, but smooching this starlet eventually vaulted him into a famous film franchise as the son of one of the most heralded "Heroes" in the history of Hollywood. This was foreshadowed by Kirk's infamous victory lap following the Stars Hollow dance contest, to which the theme from the Oscar-winning original played. Who was Jess's cinematic daddy, and likewise the name of the film in which he co-starred?

Answer: Rocky Balboa

The role of Jess Mariano was destined for a "Gilmore Girls" spinoff, starring Milo Ventimiglia, Sherilyn Fenn, and Rob Estes. The show never came to fruition though, and Ventimiglia had to settle for a lead role in the show "Heroes".
7. Perhaps if Lane would have actually kissed this Chilton preppy, instead of only getting "Phoo Action" over the phone, his "'80s" television gig would have lasted longer. Who went on to star in a short-lived sitcom spin-off of "That '70s Show"?

Answer: Henry Cho

Poor Henry Cho, we hardly knew thee. "That '80s Show" aired just 13 episodes before being cancelled. The story was set in a record store called Permanent Record. The final season of "That '70s Show" was partially set in a record store called Grooves. For all we know, Henry Cho didn't even own a record.
8. This character kissed the same Gilmore girl for the entirety of the series. Technically, the venerable actor who portrayed this mainstay was not one of the show's stars, as he was always credited with a "Special Appearance by ...". Still, he went on to become the oldest intern at Seattle Grace Hospital. Who was this "Gilmore Girls" gramp?

Answer: Richard Gilmore

Strangely enough, actor Edward Herrmann's (Richard Gilmore) character on "Grey's Anatomy" was Dr. Norman Shales, a flighty, self-made man who suffered from a propensity to talk too much.
9. This cat was the other axe grinder in Lane's band. While he started out as a bit character, he ultimately decided Stars Hollow was "Where The Heart Is" before spawning "True Blood" not once, but twice. Who fathered the Hollow's hep twins?

Answer: Zack Van Gerbig

Zack and Lane's band Hep Alien actually has a Myspace page in real life. Sebastian Bach (Gil) and John Cabrera (Brian) are on their top-friends list.
10. Kirk saw his 15 minutes of fame by starring in a self-made short "A Film By Kirk". He at long last found true love with Lulu; their marriage mojo obviously the reason he went on to land the role of the largely popular computer tech in those KGB.com commercials. Of course, everybody knows Kirk was originally known as Mick in the pilot episode of "Gilmore Girls". What, though, did he dub himself to avoid confusion when he named his maniac cat Cat Kirk?

Answer: Human Kirk

Sean Gunn (Kirk) is a fun one. Of course, the University of Arkansas at Monticello has those KGB.com commercials to thank for publicizing their strange mascot, the boll weevil. There is no mention, however, of the University of California at Santa Cruz mascot, the banana slug, which is equally as weird.
