Lucy Liu saves Whoville from the Grinch in killer ‘SNL’ skit

Lucy Liu didn’t let the Grinch steal Christmas in Whoville this weekend as she went into killer mode on Dr. Seuss character in a “Saturday Night Live” sketch.

The actor who starred as O-Ren Ishii in Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Billaction film, 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 who wanted to help decorate Whoville.

“I was wrong about Christmas, it’s not about presents,” said the Short’s Grinch as he stood on a ladder and Cindy Lou Who (played by Chloe Fineman) gave him a decorative star to place on top of a tree.

But before the Grinch could reveal the “true meaning of Christmas”, he dropped the star, which ended up severing the head of one of the Whos, killing them instantly.

Short’s Grinch tried to reassure the Whos that it was all “fine”, but more chaos ensued when the star-headed Who pierced the chest of another, setting off a series of bloody events that killed both of Cindy Lou Who’s parents .

“Cindy Lou Who may be small and cute, but not my sister, Lucy Liu Who,” Fineman’s Cindy Lou Who declared in a dramatic close-up that parodies a shot out of the “Kill Bill” movies.

Liu walked in moments later and the Grinch begging for mercy was not on her nice list.

“I guess there’s no one left to carve this roast animal,” Liu said as she took a knife out of a platter and displayed it in front of her face. “So I better cut some Grinch instead.”

She quickly approached the Grinch and decapitated him with the blade.

“And to everyone, good night,” Liu said, before a graphic for “Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Kill Grinch'” flashed on the screen.

Short previously brought the world of Dr. Seuss to life – with much less blood – when he uttered The Cat in the Hat on the children’s show “The Cat in the Hat knows a lot about it!” which aired from 2010 to 2018.
