Lucy Liu Stars in SNL Christmas Parody

Lucy Liu made a surprise cameo on Saturday Night Live, parodying Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas in a sketch that was ultimately cut for time. Host Martin Short played the Grinch, and after a series of comedic mishaps led to the accidental deaths of Cindy Lou Who's parents, Liu appeared as her Kill Bill character O-Ren Ishii to exact revenge. The sketch took a dark turn as Liu beheaded the Grinch with a sword, culminating in a title card for 'Quentin Tarantino's Kill Grinch'. Fans expressed shock that such a unique and gory sketch featuring Liu was not aired live. The sketch aligns with Liu's busy year, which includes multiple film credits and a role in a Netflix series. While the live audience missed this surprise, the sketch quickly gained attention online.
