Milo Ventimiglia, Liza Weil, and Sean Gunn are among the "Gilmore Girls" alum who have popped up in "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."Prime Video

"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" season five is now streaming on Prime Video.
The latest episode of the comedy-drama sees two "Gilmore Girls" actors make an appearance.

"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" shares many things with "Gilmore Girls," the long-running teen drama about a mother-daughter duo that creator Amy Sherman-Palladino brought to television viewers almost two decades before her Emmy award-winning Amazon Prime Video series.

For instance, both are led by fast-talking female protagonists (Lorelai Gilmore and Miriam "Midge" Maisel, respectively) and feature Palladino's signature screwball humor.

They also partly share a cast as since "Maisel"'s first season in 2017, Palladino has recruited more than a dozen residents of Stars Hollow to appear for both brief and extended cameos. Here they all are.

Milo Ventimiglia, who played Rory Gilmore's bad boy love interest in "Gilmore Girls." makes a brief but memorable cameo.

Kelly Bishop, who played the Gilmore matriarch, appears as a rival to Rose's matchmaking business.

The scene-stealing Liza Weil, who portrayed Rory's frenemy, Paris Geller, plays a very different role in "Maisel."

Scott Cohen had a one-season arc on "Gilmore Girls" as Lorelai's fiancé, and made a cameo in season four of "Maisel."
