Two of the best TV shows of the last year or so – The White Lotus and The Bear – propelled its much-loved characters Jennifer Coolidge And Jeremy Allen White, respectively, beyond stardom and straight into cult actor territory.

Now the two actors are Golden Globe winners and meme stars, with fans of each show frothing with excitement and anticipation for the next season of their shows. Except, we’re all already lamenting the absence of Jennifer in season three of The White Lotus, as she was killed off by “the gays” in season two.

Nonetheless, she’s important and we love to see her when and however we can. That’s why this Variety Actors on Actors take with Jennifer and Jeremy chatting, bantering, and flirting with ideas about what will happen in the next season of The White Lotus is a treat for a Tuesday.

Coolidge started out her now illustrious career as a waitress, dating toxic chef types before she became a star, so she knows the setting of The Bear well. With that connection setting the tone for the frank and funny conversation, the two actors chat about everything from insecurity, drive and how the memes they inspired (“Yes, Chef!” and “These gays, they’re trying to murder me!”) helped make them huge on the global stage.

Jeremy even hints at a potential love interest for his character Carmen ‘Carmy’ in Season two of The Bear, while Jennifer suggests what she thinks Mike White should make happen to Tanya’s husband, Greg, in Season three of The White Lotus. It may or may not involve Jennifer reemerging as a seagull to pluck his eyes out.

Enjoy:

While White gave Tanya her big “Italian opera ending”, another old character will be making a second appearance in the third season– that being Natasha Rothwell, who played Belinda, Tanya’s spa-employee pal in Season one.

The spirit of Tanya McQuoid shall live on in Belinda, then!
