Melissa McCarthy Tries to Remember Her Own Best Lines — and It’s Harder Than It Sounds
From Gilmore Girls and Bridesmaids to Spy and Can You Ever Forgive Me?, Melissa McCarthy puts decades of dialogue to the test in Variety’s Know Their Lines? challenge.
Melissa McCarthy has delivered some of modern comedy’s most memorable lines. Remembering which ones actually came out of her mouth is apparently another matter entirely.
Variety puts McCarthy through its Know Their Lines? challenge, pulling dialogue from across a career that includes Sookie St. James in Gilmore Girls, Bridesmaids, The Heat, Spy, Ghostbusters, Mike & Molly and her Oscar-nominated performance in Can You Ever Forgive Me?. The challenge sounds easy until decades of characters, scripts and improvised chaos start blending together.
It’s basically a career retrospective disguised as a memory test — and with McCarthy, even getting an answer wrong is usually funnier than getting it right.
