Add me to the list of people amused and excited by the idea of Betty White as the host of Saturday Night Live. We've seen more than enough young and fresh hosts one shy of an acting lesson: Why not a cheerfully spunky 88-year-old who just last month got a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Screen Actors Guild (handed out by Sandra Bullock), has collected a gaggle of Emmies and became a TV Hall of Famer 15 years ago?
She's best known for The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Golden Girls,beloved if not exactly hipster classics from the '70s and '80s. But with each passing year, there's something increasingly compelling about the ever-wholesome Betty White. The lady's got verve.
I mean, how many other thespians, two years shy of 90, are gaining in street cred? No wonder advertisers at BBDO gave her a starring role (and a seriously funny butt-kicking) in their Snickers Super Bowl ad -- and more than 225,000 people have already signed the "Betty White to Host SNL (please)!" petition on Facebook.
Now it's SNL producer Lorne Michaels' turn.
I'm all for it! (We octogenarians have to stick together.)
Besides, 80 plus isn't that old.
Keep in mind, by the time all you young boys and girls get there, 80 will be the new 60.

Wanted to see it from the first trailer, the second red band “hit girl” trailer made me anxious to see it and now this third trailer has made me need to see it.
Very cute! I LOVE the color, too.

Betty White has found a new popularity esuacbe she starred in a very popular Snickers commercial during the Super Bowl. In the commercial, she was playing football and getting thrown in mud (that was a body double), while the guys (her teammates) chastised her for playing like Betty White.With her newly found popularity, there has been a petition on Facebook for SNL to ask Betty White to host an episode. The petition has reached a very large number of signers, but SNL has not asked her to host yet. If they did, she would say yes.
