That’s right, Katha! (But what could be more serious than Betty White on SNL? I kid!)

It’s good to see Facebook opinion to be influencing Gordon, hopefully we will see it more in future and for a bigger/ serious cause.
I remember watching Boston Legal, she was great!

That’s right, David. I wonder if she will ultimately host alone or if they are ultimately fearful that, at “her age” she can’t handle it.
Betty is great at portraying the sweet older woman who will step on you if you cross her as she did in Boston Legal. Great show, great character for her.

I thought the whole effort to get Betty on SNL was a little strange and the fact they won’t let her host alone is more insult than honor — so I suppose the strangeness factors match on both sides.
Betty’s an old pro. She was great on the “Mary Tyler Moore” show and on “Golden Girls” and her live wit and humor are fantastic.
I also love her lifelong dedication to making animals a better place in the world.
