![]() She didn’t want to say it and eventually she blurts out that her mother fell in a service garage and ripped her face off on a lube rack. And a lady further to my left goes like, “Ahhh!” And everybody turned towards her-and now I think I forgot about the boom mic guy entirely-and I turned to that lady and I go, “What is it about lawyers that you don’t like?” And she was cagey, she wasn’t going to say, and I pushed her and pushed her. So I go on stage the night of the show and I think the way it unfolded was somebody made some sort of a response to something that I had said, and I turned in that direction and I said, “You sir, what do you do for a living?” And he says he’s an attorney. So we’ve done all this prep and expense in order to allow me to have my way and do this thing that I really enjoy doing. It was! And apparently, I’m assuming from the response of the HBO people in my management at the time, it really hadn’t been done that way before. You really have to be aware and present to make that work. I would indicate who I was going to talk to, but not begin getting them talking until the boom mic was over there. And they had a guy with a boom mic who would haul ass over to the person I was talking to. So I went to the mat on it, and said, “It doesn’t make sense for me to do this if I can’t do what I do.” So they hung microphones from the ceiling all over this room. And it’s not just a matter of the other people in the room hearing them, it’s a matter of the television audience hearing them. Now you have to keep in mind, this is a long time ago, and so the technology has changed. And they said, the reason you can’t is we can’t hear the audience when they talk. And then they said, “They don’t want you to talk to the audience.” And I actually said-and I have to give my younger self credit for this-“Then why are they hiring me?” Because Hollywood has a long history of, “We’re gonna hire this person, and we’re gonna ask them not to do what they do.” So I was just like, well, that doesn’t sound like a good idea. And they come to me and they say, “HBO wants to give you an hour special.” That’s fantastic, that’s very exciting. When we went to make that, I was with this management firm at the time that had a relationship with HBO. Did you feel at the time how special it was? Your 1990 HBO special Cats, Cops and Stuff is the pinnacle of this type of “crowd work.” It’s still among the all-time great stand-up specials I’ve ever seen.

While we wait for more updates about the future of The White Lotus, both previous seasons are available to stream in their entirety with a Max subscription.Below is an edited excerpt from our conversation. The show only got better from Season 1 to Season 2, so our expectations for what's to come are high. The door is still wide open for other characters who could return, and we're still waiting to learn about what exotic location Mike White will pick for the setting. But if Tanya could come back in any form, maybe she could come back as a seagull and poke Greg’s eyes out.Īt present, not much is known about what fans can expect from The White Lotus Season 3, but it has been reported that Natasha Rothwell will reprise the role of Belinda Lindsey. Maybe people would get sick of her on another season. ![]() Mike was looking for a big Italian opera ending, and it was big and dramatic, so he wanted me to die for many reasons. While Jennifer Coolidge wants to see Jon Gries back on The White Lotus Season 3 as Greg, she has personal closure when it comes to the life of Tanya McQuoid-Hunt. The actress doesn't specifically know what is going to happen in The White Lotus Season 3, but she is hoping that actor Jon Gries returns to play Greg again and that he meets a gnarly end: Variety has posted the transcript of a sit-down between Coolidge and The Bear star Jeremy Allen White (no relation to Mike White), and at the very end there is some discussion about Greg Hunt's fate. but while we wait to see what showrunner Mike White cooks up, Jennifer Coolidge has her own thoughts about what should happen to her on-screen hubby. It's a situation that will hopefully get some closure in The White Lotus Season 3. At the end of The White Lotus Season 2, fans of the hit HBO series had to say goodbye to Tanya McQuoid-Hunt – the character falling off a boat and hitting her head before drowning – but there is one important loose thread that is still sticking around after her demise: what's going to happen to her husband, Greg Hunt? It is he who is technically responsibly for Tanya's death (even if the assassination he helped organize didn't go as planned), but we are presently unaware of any consequences he may ultimately face.
