Even though Betty White has been around longer than the whole cast of Saturday Night Live has been alive combined, she never hosted the show until last night. Lorne Michaels made a mistake never having on her before because anytime she was on the show, I laughed. Whenever anyone else was on the screen, I didn’t. Betty White has true comedic timing and I hope that everyone who worked with her yesterday learned from her because the one thing that was evident is that they so need to. Really. Really.
Seriously the one thing I learned from watching Saturday Night for the first time in years, is that the show isn’t funny. Can someone please explain to me why anyone ever thought Molly Shannon was ever funny. Stop showing your crotch and keep hoping they bring back Kath & Kim. But enough about her.
Seriously how awesome was Betty White? Obviously the people of Facebook know more about what makes a good host than the people booking SNL because the show had its highest ratings since November, 2008. According to Extra Betty scored an 8.8 rating in the overnights, topping everything else that aired on Saturday night! You go girl! As Justin Bieber Tweeted, “BETTY WHITE RULES”
