Actually Tina Fey will be hosting that week. Betty will just probably have a cameo.

Betty White To Host SNL
- Thread starter joshj50

Live, from New York, it's ... Betty White hosting 'SNL'
Facebook has gotten Betty White the gig she never asked for: host of Saturday Night Live.
The 88-year-old actress, beloved by generations of TV fans, will host NBC's late-night veteran May 8. The Mother's Day episode also will feature a reunion of six former female cast members, most of them moms: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch.
SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels says he has "always wanted" White to host. "Years ago, I turned it down three times," White says. "It's so New York, and I'm not New York at all. "But my agent said he'd divorce me if I didn't do it, and I love my agent." (That agent, Jeff Witjas, says he was only joking, but "it's perfect timing for her career right now. I said, 'Do it now, or when you're 95.' ")
But it wasn't the legacy of White's Emmy-winning roles as the cutting happy homemaker Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show or naive Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls that nabbed her the gig. Nor was it the lifetime achievement award from the Screen Actors Guild in January, or last year's role as Ryan Reynolds' crazy grandma in The Proposal.
It was her appearance in a Super Bowl candy commercial in which she's tackled in the mud by a football player. The spot topped USA TODAY's Ad Meter poll and lit a fuse on a Facebook campaign, where a "Betty White to Host SNL (please?)!" group — started in late December — has attracted nearly half a million members.
"It took on a groundswell," Michaels says, loath to admit he was goaded into casting her. "It isn't something we would have said no to," but the campaign "validated that, 'Oh, that'd be fun.' ... It was the outpouring of affection from fans, and we feel the same way."
The fan who started it, David Mathews, 29, of San Antonio says he has "never considered myself to be a super fan of anything, but if there was somebody to be a super fan of, it would be Betty White." He's not even a big SNL watcher, but the idea "came up over the holidays" and took hold. "She's been in most of your life, whether you're 70 years old or 17."
Michaels says that as the live show's oldest host, she can perform "as much as she wants to do" but adds that the physical demands of the show led him to plan the cast reunion, though make no mistake: White is the solo host.
She's flattered and flabbergasted by the attention: "It's lovely, and at my age it's certainly unexpected." And she's not worried about the workload: "I've got so much energy, it's ridiculous. I love working. My schedule is a feverish one, and I'm used to that."
White has no children of her own, though she counts her golden retriever, Pontiac, as one. But, Michaels says, "she's the mother of us all in comedy, so it will be a celebration of Betty White."

Betty White is just too good, still going strong even at her age. Anything she does is great and she is very, very funny. Look forward to seeing her!

So, I guess she's going to host it all by herself.
Who's the musical guest ?

I'm not really a doctor.
Jay-Z.
And she's hosting the show herself, but it will feature several former female cast members returning for Mother's Day. So far, I've heard Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Mya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Molly Shannon, and Ana Gasteyer.

Can't wait!
Love Betty White, she's so funny on Craig Ferguson's show.
I just hope her sketches aren't ruined by bad writing, that seems to happen to a lot guests lately.

Re: Betty White on Saturday Night Live !!!!
We get 4 Golden Girls episodes two times a day. Will she be the oldest SNL host. She's always fun to watch. I hope it's a good show.

That was highlarious, and I agree with you. That scene made The Proposal.
I wish that happened here in New Zealand!
She is the only reason to buy that movie. That scene with her and Sandra Bullock in the woods dancing.

Re: Betty White on Saturday Night Live !!!!
she's especially funny when she pretends to be the little virginal angel - when she's a really a dirty girl - with a mouth on her that George Carliin would envy --
Gotta luv her !!

Re: Betty White on Saturday Night Live !!!!
I have loved her since I was a boy in the 50's. She did local TV in LA. Live of course. Always so so friendly and likable. And what a riot she was on quiz shows. She was a wonderful, loving wife to Allen Ludman.
What a gem.

Re: Betty White on Saturday Night Live !!!!
I'm actually a little nervous about the whole thing....
Live TV is hard at any age, I hope she does well....
She feels like a member of my family at this point. (Only sober, and tolerable...

Re: Betty White on Saturday Night Live !!!!
I've heard it said that she shouldn't be the host on Mother's Day weekend because she's never been a mother.
I say "maybe... but I've grown up feeling like she's a part of the family anyway."
Fuck, I love that woman.
Next we need Maggie Smith.
