Everyone Agrees: Betty White Delivered on SNL

Nick Butler Nick Butler, May 8, 2010November 24, 2010

Last night Betty White hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time in her long entertainment career. Why did she get to host now? Because of a Facebook with hundreds of thousands of members calling for the 88 year old to host SNL. NBC announced she would be the host of the Mother’s Day special, which aired last night. The response so far has been overwhelmingly positive – many calling it the best episode in years. More after the jump.

The chatter online during and following the show was unanimous: Betty White delivered. Many people called it the best episode in years, other calling it the best episode ever. Personally, I think it’s the latter – but I’ve only been watching SNL for about 10 years. One thing is for sure, it was a memorable show. Here’s the chatter on the web:

As the chart above shows, Twitter has exploded with tweets including the term “Betty White.” Here’s what some of those tweets said:
@GLfangirl20: Best SNL in a long long time it might be my favorite episode love Betty White.
@Cynthia_Rose: Betty White killed it on SNL! Thank YOU for being a friend Betty!
@SmashMe_EraseMe: Oh my GOD Betty White ****ing KILLED IT on SNL. That was goddamn glorious.
@raychela: The only walls strong enough to contain Chuck Norris? Betty White’s uterus.
@AdJoHa86: Betty White killed it on SNL, instant classic!
@AlyssaAllen18:  Betty white I <3 you best snl ever
@ElaineLiner: Somewhere in Showbiz Heaven, Bea Arthur is saying, “That goddamn Betty White!”

As you can see almost everyone thinks she delivered. And who expected any less? Betty White has been doing this for decades and no one expected any less from her. Jay Z performed a Forever Young and dedicated the song to “the most incredible, Betty White.”

What did you think of Betty White hosting SNL? Sound off below in the comments.

    I think Betty should spend the rest of her career hanging with SNL. It looked like the others really enjoyed having her on the show this week. I also enjoyed seeing the older cast members return. It was a great show. I think Betty still has a few great years left to make us all laugh.

    I’ve loved Betty the better part of her career. I just wish the audience had given her a standing ovation at the end for her being such a good sport. XoXoXo

    Tonight’s SNL had the hilarious Betty White hosting. What a great job she did and it was well worth all the faceBook campaigning for her. Cameo appearancess by some former cast members such as Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Rachel Dratch and more were also welcome surprises.
    But then we got…Jay-Z. Holy crap, he took up almost 15 minutes of my life, with the crappiest…whatever. Not even close to being called artistry. Weekend Update ran late. Because of Jay-Z. Then, he’s back?! For a SECOND “song”?! Right. Back with an even stupider encore performance of part of the earlier tune, with some inferior Sting-wannabe dueting. I freakin hate rap. Jay-Z couldn’t SING his way out of a paper bag as shown by his wailing on the second “performance piece”.
    Who says this guy is relevent? What a totalling boring appearance and a good waste of about 20 minutes of airtime, which would have been better spent with more skits and more Betty White.

    Betty White is just too great an artist to be limited to a (most often) lame skit show. Betty, I actually watched SNL for the first time in years and years just to see you – “There’s only one Betty White – and that’s alllll we need!”
