Lucy Liu Saves Whoville From The Grinch In Killer 'SNL' Sketch
HuffPost
The iconic "Kill Bill" actor wished the Dr. Seuss character a "good night" after a bloody Christmas celebration.
Lucy Liu didn’t let The Grinch steal Christmas in Whoville this weekend as she went killer mode on the Dr. Seuss character in a “Saturday Night Live” sketch.
The actor — who starred as O-Ren Ishii in Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” action movies — appeared in the “Cut for Time” sketch after The Grinch (played by “SNL” host Martin Short) returned to the Whos as a reformed, holiday-loving creature that wished to help decorate Whoville.
“I was wrong about Christmas, it’s not about presents,” said Short’s Grinch as he stood on a ladder and Cindy Lou Who (played by Chloe Fineman) handed him a decorative star to place on top of a tree.
But before The Grinch got to reveal the “true meaning of Christmas,” he dropped the star, which wound up cutting a Who’s head open below and killing them instantly.
Short’s Grinch tried to assure the Whos that it was all “fine” but more chaos ensued as the Who with the star in his head pierced the chest of another, setting off a series of bloody events that killed both of Cindy Lou Who’s parents.
