SNL's Hilarious Take on 'The White Lotus' with 'Black Lotus' Sketch
- World Soccer Today -
In the article, the writer discusses a sketch on the television show "Saturday Night Live" that parodies the HBO series "The White Lotus."
The sketch, titled "The Black Lotus," features the hotel staff shutting down the attempts of the guests to engage in inappropriate or dangerous behavior.
The sketch also features Aubrey Plaza and Chloe Fineman in various roles, including Plaza as the hotel's bartender.
The sketch ends with the hotel's concierge, played by Kenan Thompson, welcoming the guests to "Black Lotus" with the warning that their behavior will not be tolerated.
The sketch satirizes the themes and characters of "The White Lotus" by highlighting the absurdity and excess of the show.
The pre-taped sketch began with Tanya checking into the hotel and telling Kenan Thomson’s concierge, “Oh, gosh, I forgot my credit card.
I must have left it in the limousine, is that OK, can you trust me?” but Thompson replied with “No, I can’t.
I don’t know you.
I’m trying to run a business!”.
The hotel staff similarly shut down the Michael Imperioli-esque character’s attempt to give “these hoes” a spare key to his room and warned Sarah Sherman’s version of Haley Lu Richardson’s Portia that she was definitely going to get murdered by the mysterious British stranger she just met.
The sketch ends with the hotel’s concierge, played by Kenan Thompson, concluding with “Welcome to Black Lotus, bitch,” highlighting the show's tongue-in-cheek approach to the source material.
