Lucy Liu saves Whoville from the Grinch in killer SNL sketch

Lucy Liu didn’t let the Grinch steal Christmas in Whoville this weekend when she played Dr. Seuss character played at a killer level.

The actor, who played O-Ren Ishii in Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” action films, appeared in the “Cut for Time” sketch after playing the Grinch (played by “SNL” host Martin Short) as a reformed, holiday-loving character Creature who wanted 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 (played by Chloe Fineman) handed him a decorative star to place on a tree.

However, before the Grinch could reveal the “true meaning of Christmas,” he dropped the star, resulting in one Whos’ head being cut open and killing them instantly.

Short’s Grinch tried to reassure the Whos that everything was “fine,” but more chaos ensued when the Who with the star in his head pierced someone else’s chest, setting off a series of bloody events that would affect both of Short’s parents Cindy Lou Who killed.

“Cindy Lou Who may be small and sweet, but she’s not my sister Lucy Liu Who,” Fineman’s Cindy Lou Who explained in a dramatic close-up that parodies a scene from the “Kill Bill” films.

Moments later, Liu entered, and the Grinch begging for mercy wasn’t on her nice list.

“I guess there’s no one left to carve this roasted beast,” Liu said as she took a blade from a bowl and held it in front of her face. “So I’d better carve something Grinch.”

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

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

Short previously brought the world of Dr. Seuss came to life – with a lot less blood – when he portrayed the Cat in the Hat in the children’s show “The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About It!” which aired from 2010 to 2018.
