What are some pop culture references to the Philadelphia Flower Show?
Answer
Abbott Elementary
The Philadelphia Flower Show gets a big mention in Season 2, episode 16 of the hit TV Show Abbott Elementary, which aired February 22, 2023. In this episode, the Abbott teachers go to a conference in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Janine and Gregory sneak into the “living classroom” at the conference, designed by the Philadelphia Flower Show. We get a chance to see this magical place, decked out with hundreds of beautiful flowers and plants, including a backpack for students, with a built - in terrarium.
Saturday Night Live
In 2012, SNL’s Jason Sudeikis did a parody of Ricky Gervais’s sharp-tongued hosting of the Golden Globes. In this skit, Sudeikis/Gervais hosts the Philadelphia Flower Show awards as well as the Westminster Kennel Club’s Dog Show.
