But Why Can't Betty White Host SNL By Herself?!
If you stormed Rockefeller Center to demand that Betty White host SNL, then you probably looked like a lone asshole out there by yourself, because everybody else made their plea by joining the "Betty White 4 SNL" Facebook group. And if you are one of the many that joined, then get ready to give yourself a congratulatory finger bang, because Betty White is really close to hosting SNL. Actually, get ready to give yourself half of a congratulatory finger bang (just to the knuckle), because Betty White will not host the show alone. How do they say "fuckery" in St. Olaf?
Michael Ausiello over at EW has it on good authority that Lorne Michaels has heard the cries of the Betty White movement and will sign her to co-host SNL's "Women of Comedy" episode. Apparently, Lorne isn't sure that 88-year-old Betty White can handle an entire show by herself, so he's gathering other ladies to help her out. Molly Shannon is ready to join Betty, and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have both been asked.
Lorne is totally underestimating the power of Betty White! Betty isn't going to fall asleep mid-show, or leave to catch the tail end of a Matlock episode she's already seen a dozen times. NO! Betty has the stamina of Kirstie Alley at the buffet. Betty can do anything.
I guess this is better than nothing, but I'm still going to flip Lorne off St.Olaf-style like Betty White is in the picture above.

Can someone tell me: Was Betty White ALREADY on SNL this past Saturday (2/20/10)????

Maggie69,
According to Wiki’s schedule page, the program was pre-empted for two weeks for the Winter Olympics.
February 13, 2010: pre-empted for Winter Olympics
February 20, 2010: pre-empted for Winter Olympics
Can someone tell me: Was Betty White ALREADY on SNL this past Saturday (2/20/10)????
I like the idea. I'd like to see Betty on the show, but I too was thinking it might be a little much for a woman her age. I'd like to see Molly, Amy, and Tina too, so I'm all for it. I'll probably still go out and get drunk rather than stay home and watch it... but I'll watch it on-line later.
I actually like the fact that they are showing concern for an 88 yr old woman instead of just using her for publicity.
I would be happier if they get another woman 55 or over(Liza or Aretha since they are in the other Snickers commercials), instead of using Poehler and Fey.
Having Amy Poeler and Tina Fey on the show will be a disaster. There weren't funny when they were regulars and they aren't funny now. If they choose to have them on, I'll tune in to something else. My Betty White love can only take so much.
BETTY WHITE can't handle SNL by herself? You have got to be fucking kidding me. This woman has more television experience in her left butt cheek than the entire cast put together. She's a goddamn television legend. I think she could handle a couple skits and an opening monologue. This just proves Lorne Michaels really is an ignorant jackass piece of shit.

Amy, Tina and Molly should fake a broken hip right before the show starts so Betty can go it alone! Is it Lorne that doesn't want Betty to host an actual show or is it Betty herself? If Betty doesn't want to do it, that's one thing, but if Lorne is being goofy, well I'll finger salute him too! We love you Betty!
Fuck Lorne. Betty's gonna show 'em how it's done!
_________________________________
I like boring things.
I'll take Lorne Michaels anyday over the dumbasses in the business today. I realized long ago there would be a point when these talented people would retire or die and I'll have to shut off the TV for good. I'm not watching shit shows in the future, period.

Fuck Lorne right in the ass with a rusty dildo if he doesn't let her to host solo.
Ageism and misogyny and Lorne is afeared how poorly his crew will look next to Betty. From Sweet Rose to Slutty Sue and back again, she's the bomb. SNL is has-been approved!
Oh, Betty White can't carry a show by herself, but some idiot basketball player CAN? Gimme a break. I'm sure he'd let someone like Lindsay Vonn host because she's young and blonde and hot. Meanwhile she'd be stumbling over the three lines she's reading right off the cue cards and letting jokes fall flat. But Betty White can't handle it?
Lorne let's washed up hacks carry the show so THIS would be a huge improvement, not to mention ratings booster.
Give the lady a chance. Sheesh.
Lorne Michaels is a douchebag. If he can put that tool Steve Martin on endlessly, he can certainly put on Betty White. Even if she just read cue cards, she has impeccable timing & delivery.
Betty White can host any event the world throws at her. Her hosting solo would be fucking amazing. "I'm Betty White, bitch!".

You know what I'm just going to end this here and now.
When I began posting you did your “Oh it’s another former New Yorker and she’s my new BFF thing.” You asked for my email and I declined. You know my profession. During the holidays you proceeded to write your uninformed thesis about depressed academics. I did not say one word. It was a sad bit of projection on your part. You returned from SF thinking I was living in California. I made a joke about the wrong ocean. Then you thought I was Brit. I told you the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. You told me you actually have a good memory and you "remembered" me saying I was living in Virginia or North Carolina - at which point I told you that you were wrong and I never discuss where I live. And here you are with your Tarheel/Blue Devil bullshit again. I don’t live in North Carolina. Write it down so you don’t forget.
I have never been anything but pleasant to you.
Now I'm done.
Let me make myself perfectly clear. I come here for fun not drama. I’m done dealing with your bad memory and mood swings. Find someone else who is interested in your incessant need for drama. I'm not.

All I am going to day is if Betty White can only hang for 10% of entire show it will still be 300% funnier than every show of the last season.
I DVR every SNL in the hope it will be as funny as it was when I was a tiny child and I watched it with my late father and we LOL at Chevy, Steve and Eddie.

Lorne better get that. If he thinks the young, vapid stars are going to visit him in the nursing home he is all kinds of wrong.

The campaign for Betty White to Host SNL needs a commercial narrated by Eddie Murphy: “She’s Gumby's Grammy, damn it!"
By the way, Amy Poehler is the only one that I dont find remotely funny.
____________________________
That is weird that you should say that, because right before I posted I was thinking that AP is so overrated, she bugs me on Weekend Update, she's not funny, and the fact that she has the platinum blonde hair is gratuitous, not to mention unattractive and conceited.
However, I did remember ONE skit in which I found her funny, which was the Rock of Love skit in which she had one leg and farted.

Fat, drunk and speeding is no way to go through life!!
She needs to hire Enrique Mas.
I think the opening monologue should be about how Betty wanted to host by herself. Ha.
By the way, Amy Poehler is the only one that I dont find remotely funny.
She did a good impression of Christian (Project Runway Christian) though, and a good Dakota Fanning. But other than that, she's boring and try-hard.
Let's be real here, as much as I wanna believe Betty is a granny super-hero the truth is she's an old funny ding-bat that is usually in bed by 8:30pm. SNL is live late in the evening. Her Depends can only take so much action.
Poor Betty needs back-up. We wouldn't want her dropping dead in the middle of a 'Driving Miss Daisy' skit.
Lornes just jelly of bettys dimples. Dimples are the cutest thing in the whole world second only to pregnant bellies.
SNL sucks anyhow and I never found Amy, Tina, or Molly to be funny. He needs to bring back some 80s and 90s TV comediennes like Roseanne and Julia Louise Dreyfus.

I just don't think Lorne trusts octogenarians much. I mean when was the last time there was a host over 60?

Alec Baldwin?

Did Sir Tony Hopkins host within the last few years?
88 is really old, but it's all about whether you have dementia or not, and Betty seems a helluva lot more lucid than myself or almost anybody else I know!
She's in good physical shape, too.

That asshole! At least throw in Carol Burnett, Jane Curtain, Maya Rudolph, Julia Sweeney, and Stuart Smalley (joke!) to round out the ages. Not only is that show racist but very misogynist with their lack of diversity. Or how about this, ask Betty White what she would like to do and who with? That dick, ageist as well.
How do they say "fuckery" in St. Olaf?
O, shoor esss colt-hearted foockery against Betty!
Always colt-hearted foockery against St. Olaf Mini Soda enns, eh?
If they try to do a Golden Girls skit, I will file a class action lawsuit.

i'll just add how I remember a certain amazing older celebrity in my country who dived to his death in a ceremony while being awarded for his contribution,he had to change sets to receive the award but eventually he fell down the stage stairs and died. it was sad and shocking, now imagine Betty having to change 7-12 sets in a timeframe of one hour+,
