Melissa McCarthy reveals someone passed out while shooting the Gilmore Girls poster

Plus, she imagines where Sookie is today... and it involves marijuana.

For seven seasons (and a revival), Stars Hollow was just as much of a character in Gilmore Girls as Lorelai (Lauren Graham), Rory (Alexis Bledel), or Sookie St. James (Melissa McCarthy). But the Connecticut town wasn't nearly as chilly as it seemed on-screen.

Although the small town seemed to live in a perpetual state of fall/winter — Lorelai can smell snow! — the beloved WB series filmed in Burbank, Calif. In other words, it was never quite cool enough for the winter attire that the actors often wore.

"Sometimes we were like crammed into small things with coats on but it was actually like 112 degrees in Burbank," McCarthy remembers during an interview on EW's 3 Rounds video series, above.

But it was the day that the cast all got together to shoot the poster for season 1 that things really took a turn. "When we did our first poster, someone passed out," McCarthy tells host Alexis Wilson. "Like just out cold because we were all in coats and trying to look blustery."

When asked where her character is today, McCarthy says Sookie and Jackson (Jackson Douglas) are likely growing weed. "She still cooks, but I think she does edibles... I think they run a very nice little mom-and-pop business with their 13 kids and she makes delicious edibles."
