Jennifer Coolidge deserves an Emmy for this interview
She was wonderful in the series
Yup but tbh they all do
she was amazing for that role
She's basically her character
She's so real and hilarious and has this enchanting way about her.
I can't believe Mike White came up with the idea, wrote the script, did pre production, all within 2 and a half months. As a writer and director, I just wanna say, that's insane!! So much talent.
I can't believe you think this show is good
The show looks like screen gem ,even in 1080p, I hope they release it on 4K someday.
Yeah, lol, Mike white is a mad genius do you not know his catalogue
Whoever cast this did a great job.
💯 perfect casting
It was apparently Meredith Tucker, who went to school with the show's writer / creator, Mike White.
Jennifer saying she felt like she wasn’t acting with Natasha makes sense 😂😂 Me listening to her trying to explain it is just perfect
Murray Bartlett deserves an Emmy
Yes!! He was enigmatic. I couldn't take my eyes off him during his scenes. Easily my favorite character and he was so hilarious, but it was also sad. Jennifer Coolage deserved that Emmy as well. I loved that they dominated the Emmys. Mike White did a fantastic job creating this series.
He got one! Lol
LMAO jennifer coolage doesn’t even try, she’s so naturally hilarious. She really was her character
Jennifer Coolidge is such a mood. Her answers were hilarious, relateable and vulnerable all at the same time.
Jennifer Coolidge is such a legend
True, but Mike White is as well!! Big Time
Laughed like an idiot through Jennifer's part. She is priceless! But it's too easy to say that the genius is in the casting and directing. She is too modest and deserves the recognition as a superbly funny actress with amazing timing and skill.
Hands down, By far the best show on tv right now! Brilliantly written, directed and acted from all fasets! The fact that Mike White had 2 1/2 months to prep this production is mind blowing! Kuddos to him and the entire cast/crew!
yep, really liked this. it has the intensity of other good shows like Mere of Easttown withouth the unpleasantness and forcefulness. Really good mix between satire and drama .
Can’t crack the code any better than getting paid to live in Hawaii during covid and make an amazing show
I love how Jennifer Coolidge is texting while the others are talking 🤣🤣🤣
Mike crying with laughter when Jennifer talks
This show is so excellent at the slow character development. Each one you unwrap a layer at a time and it’s fascinating to me.
THE CORE OF THE ONION!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely. It’s like you are not even annoyed when the show moves to another character because all of them are interesting.
Jennifer making everyone laugh made my heart so happy
It’s so funny when mike can’t contain his laughter when Jennifer is speaking!
Jennifer is so real and so funny! She really cracked me up 😂😂
Right though 🤣😂🤣
Why am I laughing SO hard with tears when Jennifer Coolidge talks?! Everything she does is just so great, there’s no one else like her on screen. Gotta love her! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Holy crap, he wrote the scripts and did all the prep in two and half months! Wow. Seriously impressive.
dude thats ned schneebly from school of rock wtf!!! lmao
Finally, Jennifer and Murray getting the recognition they deserve with their SAG nominations.
“I thought this was the end..i did..i thought it was the end” I am dead.
OMG, this show... I finally watched it and was blown away. The writing, the directing, the acting, the cinematography and music... Absolute chef's kiss. They totally deserved that Emmy sweep.
One of the best shows I've ever watched
Omg… Jennifer Coolidge is just such a freaking joy to watch in and out of character. I love her!
Season 1 is my favourite of the two seasons. I keep watching it again and again. Love the slow buildup, the background score, the cinematography and the overall mood. Beautifully made. Kudos to the whole team.
best tv show ever. I do not want to be greedy but one wants more of it. More more more.
The show is beyond fabulous! ❤
And I totally agree with Jennifer Coolidge that the interviewer did a great job! The questions were really interesting, thought through and gave us the insight to the show's intricacies.
Well done!
Jennifer is the same person in every movie/show and I wouldn’t want it any other way!!
Just watched penultimate episode and can't wait for the finale. Every goal they outlined here, from character development to multi-layered performances...they achieved ALL of them and THEN some. Connie Britton used such a perfect word: "nuance." As extreme as some of the plot's circumstances can be, how they are depicted & the cumulative result are never less than exquisitely nuanced.
great interviewer! not familiar with him but all of his questions were top notch and he moderated everyone's equal time really great
I had no idea who had written/created this series but finding out it was the guy who wrote Enlightened makes so much sense.
The guy knows how to create characters.
👍🏼
One of the best interviews on White Lotus around, if not the best. So good so many of the cast were all together.
I finished this last night and thought it was excellent. Watched the whole season in under a week, which is something I rarely do. Really well written characters.
Bro I've worked in Hospitality for 15 years. For a high end clientele like the show. I never took it to the level that the Manager character did😂 But All of the nuances btwn him and his guests where so on point. The whole atmosphere was so on point. Such a great show!!
Magnificent on every level. Mike White: what a talent.
Great interview, phenomenal show…. I’m blown away at how well this was written and procured, in so little time, and during COVID-19 no less. And the soundtrack, OMG, so good and tense. Well done guys. :)
What a show. Blown away. Emmys for ALL OF YOU. Excited for season 2 but it won’t be the same group of wacky vacationers. And nothing can or will top this group. NOTHING. PS: Hey Murray: thanks SO much for making me think of you *every time* I go to the loo for the *rest of my life*.
FRED OMFG
This interview was already interesting and cool, and then came Jennifer!!!! Hysterical! Just amazing!
Loved the first episode and am waiting impatiently for more!
Totally, love the ambient, the feelin, the characters, the comedy, I mean everything! And absolutely the BSO, love that tribal eerie sounds
Best cast interview I’ve ever seen! Perfect casting great writing in this hilarious series. Loved it!
For sure this is the most hooked I've ever felt watching a cast interview. And it was over Zoom to boot!
I kept reading comments about Jennifer Coolidge in the interview until I actually got to the part. PRI-CE-LESS! hahahahahahahah
BTW for those who did see her in the interview, that's from her Wikipedia page lol: "During college, Coolidge had dreams of being a dramatic actress like her hero Meryl Streep, but instead became a comedic character actress". WELL JEN, YOU ARE THE MERYL OF COMEDY
i can't say enough, every casts so good!!! you know how rare this is?
Quinn was one of the best aspie (ASD-1) characters yet in a show. I love his ending and identify with his character so much (except growing up rich).
This was SO GOOD and so much fun to watch! :)
Steve Zahn looks like my boss during our morning stand ups
"Tania" is one of the most realistic portrayals I have seen without having to commit her!!!
I'm so thankful for Jennifer Coolidge and being so incredibly honest quarantine has been really hard for me and I've always loved her work🥰
obsessed with this
Bravo and Well Done!!!
Love love love this cast and writing and art direction and everything.
Great TV, great interview
After having worked both the scuba and spa department at this particular Four Seasons, I am so elated with this show, the cast, the script, the themes. It’s so spot on! Great job Mike White and actors/actresses. Kinda missed the mark on the believability of the staff though. Resort manager of that high end of a resort can’t be that reckless. Fired in an instant. And the part where Kai steals from the Mossbachers. Security cameras for one and a guy that good natured, wouldn’t resort himself to that kind of petty thievery no matter what resentment he had. I get it for the plot’s purpose. But aside from that, so spot on. Belinda’s ulterior motive to get Tania to follow through with her offer and the relationship between those two is a classic scenario seen in the spa setting at the FS… so great! Amazing job!
Great perspective, and really interesting that you worked there. LOL. Yeah, I don’t think anybody would really believe that this kind of mismanagement would ever happen.
Your point about the resort manager is kind of moot bc he only became reckless after relapsing and was about to be fired in a matter of days, as soon as he was reported.
Given its satire, some characters and even this whole week is more hyperbolic than “regular life” so it does actually for for the tone and theme of this show overall
this interview is equally entertaining as the tv show oh god what a great cast
Loved !
Love Mikes work...brilliant series
I keep coming back to watch Jenn Mam, she's hilarious, she lights up every room that she steps into 😂🍩🤗 such a precious soul and human and actress and comedian and person 💗💗💖💖💖
Brilliant series. Very good interviewer.
Beautiful work!
Mike White - so creative and so loopy. What a great combo to make this show
Masterpiece!!
This show lives up to the hype
The character is Armand. The actor is Murray.
Love Mike's glasses!
i enjoyed the whole season. great story and ending is just perfect although depressing for some characters. kudos to the whole team ❤️
Amazing series want another season
Jennifer Coolidge is so real, so honest
This show has beautiful writing
Very synergy-ish, still highly attractive on an intellectual level
Feels a quite good cast vibe & 100% rare zero friction chemistry with a side of selfish expression 😊 er umm progression.
We all enjoyed this thing im sure & I'm sure the show reflects that, a wholly entertaining perspective gainer too
Thank-you so much
Great series!
Great show.
Best show right now
I mean, how beautiful and cute is Fred. 😍
😍😍😍truly awesome show♥️♥️♥️
I really liked the show and the atmosphere👍🏻
How the hell do you write and produce something this good that fast.
I would venture that it was possible because of the time crunch
Such a great show
“Oh my God, how did you make it this far???”
My innate hate for Pete from The Office made it so easy to despise Shane
Jennifer is so gorgeous ! I loved her character the most
Jennifer, love her so much 💎
So funny to see the girl's at the end reading their perspective books...after Quinn cries a tear while having a moment, as perfect timing for Tanya's funeral for her mom....literally looking like a little cherub shirley temple tossing her mother's ashes.....I just watched it for the 7th time(?) The new people who replaced Armand et al waving to the new group...is it the music that has me memorized most of all?
Jennifer is just so real. No layers. Just 100% what you see, is what you get.
Shane's bedroom is absolutely literally perfect
It's a funny show! Omg.
yes it is
My god I love Jennifer sooooo fucking much.
wow. i didn't know jennifer coolidge before. what a talent. what a great comedian. bravo 👏👏👏
Connie and Jennifer gave bravura performances
I was so intrigued by this series, laughing one moment, aghast the next. But the characters wore me down, they were just such awful people, beyond redemption. And so, it’s funny to me that I most enjoyed Jake Lacy’s part in this interview. His delight while listening to Jennifer Coolidge reminds me that these people are consummate actors, they are not the characters themselves.
Jennifer Coolidge is a treasure! 💞
Omg it’s Plop!
Jennifer Coolidge is such a treat
Connie Britton🔥🔥🔥
Jennifer Coolidge is hilarious!
Can’t belive he was in survivor
I’ve heard a few interviews with Mike White. It’s amazing how well written it is, and yet how inarticulate he is during an interview.
I’m a pretty decent writer yet a terrible speaker as well. Some of us are just better at organizing our thoughts on paper.
@Lauren Lestrange
Yeah, I'm hopeless at speaking, especially through the medium of a video conference. Writing, however, is the mode of communication at which I excel.
Jennifer Coolidge hands-down stole the show.. if she doesn't win an emmy im goin to riot!!!
HELLO, THIS IS NED SCHNEEBLY!
Never heard of this l,m catching up in Australia.
a very powerful tv show series. It shows pervasive privilege at its best!
