Almost twenty-five years since the show premiered, Gilmore Girls remains an enduring TV classic. The dramedy, centered on the titular mother and daughter Lorelai and Rory, expanded beyond their emotional arcs to focus on all the citizens of Star’s Hollow. One of the most popular fixtures of the town was Luke, the gruff but lovable diner owner who steadily grew from Lorelai’s confidant to main love interest. Played by Scott Patterson, Luke became an iconic element of the show, and Patterson still celebrates Luke’s impact in formal sequels, Wal-Mart commercials, and his podcast I Am All In with Scott Patterson.
