The amazing Betty White - on SNL

[catland]

Just a reminder - the one and only Betty White, who is 88 years young, is hosting SNL on May 8th. Not only is she a TV legend, - she's a major animal rights activist.

Way to go Betty.:D

Thanks for the reminder. Have to see SNL this weekend. She's a hoot! Love her. She has the right attitude on life.

I actually feel kind of bad for her. I saw her recently on a talk show and she said she's been asked 3 times before to host SNL and she's turned it down every time simply because she's never wanted to host the show. She said she's doing it this time, not because she wants to, but rather because fans have asked her to. I think she's a special lady to do this for her fans, but I feel bad that she's been 'pressured' into doing something she doesn't really want to do. I really hope she has fun and it turns out to be a positive experience for her.

I hope she has fun too. I did not realize she was against it. I love her recent commercials. I think it is for a candy bar. What a good natured lady.

Here is an excellent interview/story about her doing SNL. It doesn't really say that she did not want to do it.

I have waited for her big day.:) I've always enjoyed her humor. Maybe
she might have been reluctant to be the only guest to carry the whole
show. I heard she will sort of co-host & do a few skits.:)
