Former 'Saturday Night Live' star Molly Shannon is having a career moment, with buzzy roles in HBO's 'The White Lotus' and HBO Max's 'The Other Two':
"I feel really grateful right now," Shannon says."Other Two" creators Kelly and Sarah Schneider"are supremely talented, and then to also be on 'The White Lotus,' I couldn't be happier with these two jobs. I'm so excited. I really have been in a place of just celebrating that I worked hard in show business, and I feel incredibly lucky for these opportunities.
She talks to us about both shows, as well as the 20th anniversary of the 2001 cult comedy classic"Wet Hot American Summer." Question: What do you love most about Pat's relationship with her kids Cary , Brooke and Chase this season? She is very excited that they're coming into their own and she wants all good things for all her children. She's just such a mom. But at the end of the day, as much as she's excited about what everybody is doing, family is still No. 1, and she would never want to lose what she had : that tight-knit group.
Q: How did it feel going from playing a very humble, generous mom like Pat on"The Other Two" to an overbearing, pushy one like Kitty on"The White Lotus?"They're such different characters, so I'm glad I didn't shoot them both at the same time. That would be hard. Pat feels like one of the people; she feels like she is one of her fans. It's all the same. Kitty feels above it all. She lives in her own world.
Q: You get personal in your new memoir that's due out next year. What has surprised you most about writing it? I like the quiet of a book. It's so different than performing, but I really like getting those stories on paper in case I ever forget. I always took notes of certain things my dad would say that I was like,"I'm gonna write about this someday.
