MELISSA ON JIMMY KIMMEL
To interview Melissa, Martin, 74, dressed as his iconic character, Jiminy Glick.
And he stayed in that get-up for the entire episode.
Jiminy jokingly tried to kiss Melissa when she walked out from behind the curtain, to which she pushed him back.
He also tried to dry-hump her twice and made cheeky attempts to grab her breasts and kiss her.
Melissa was in on the bit and went along with it all.
I stopped over-analyzing, over-thinking, over-doing anything…I just stopped constantly being worried about [my weight].

She joked that she had a one-night stand with Jiminy years earlier.
“I just thought you needed clean towels,” the actress told him.
Fans can see the dynamic play out between these two even more when Melissa guest-stars on Season 4 of Only Murders in the Building this fall.
She joked that “almost everybody was great,” while looking at Martin.

MEL’S MILESTONE
Melissa revealed that she has lost 75 pounds since her heaviest weight.
She shared that she found success after shifting her mental attitude and lifestyle.
“I finally said [to myself], ‘Oh for God sakes, stop worrying about it,’ and it may be the best thing I’ve ever done,” Melissa told CBS.
“I truly stopped worrying about [my weight].
“I stopped over-analyzing, over-thinking, over-doing anything…I just stopped constantly being worried about it and I think there’s something to kinda loosening up and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, bizarrely, has worked,” she said.
Melissa admitted that after she landed her role on Gilmore Girls, she attempted a doctor-supervised all-liquid diet, which led her to lose 70 pounds in four months.
“I’d never do that again. I felt starved and crazy half the time,” she told People in 2011.
