Watch Clips from Betty White Hosting SNL>>With a career that spans over 70 years and 18 Emmy nominations, it's one of the great mysteries of life why it took this long for
Saturday Night Live to get
Golden Girls' Betty White to host. But now, "thanks to the Internet," it's a reality. And it's worth the wait.
Her comedic timing is just so spot on. See what we mean by checking out her
SNL promos:
As if that wasn't enough, a bunch of
SNL alums are also expected to drop by for the Mother's Day special, including Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch.
Asked how she felt about the viral campaign that jumpstarted calls for her to host
SNL, White said, "It just came out of left field and I was astounded. I told my agents to please say, 'Thank you I appreciate it but no thank you.' And he said you have to do it."
White, 88, revealed that she had no idea what's coming up, but she could always say no. "And they promised me I wouldn't have to do any nudity."
