Betty White “Saturday Night Live” Host May 8

You Asked for It, You Got It: Comic genius Betty White will host NBC’s Saturday Night Live — for the first time in the show’s 35 year history — on May 8.




Betty’s appearance in a popular Super Bowl ad sparked a Facebook campaign that has actually come to fruition: the funnywoman and former Golden Girl has been tipped to host the upcoming Mother’s Day episode of SNL, series creator Lorne Michaels has confirmed to USA TODAY.

The Betty White to Host SNL (please?)! Facebook page launched shortly after Betty and Abe Vigoda were seen playing football with men young enough to be their great-grandsons in a Snickers Super Bowl commercial. Since then, the group has attracted more than 485,000 whippersnappers. Betty’s so hot right now even Robert Pattinson thinks she’s sexy.

And she won’t be coming to 30 Rockefeller Center alone: The May 8 episode will also feature a reunion of six former female cast members, many of them now moms themselves, including: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer, and Rachel Dratch.
