Well, the promos for this weekend’s Saturday Night Live hosted by Betty White are out and they are…cute!
Right? Cute. When she was your age milk was delivered to your door each morning in glass bottles by DINOSAURS. She’s so old she doesn’t even know who Jay-Z is! Although, as cute as these are, I really think it would be nice for everyone involved if this was the whole episode. WRAP PARTY! I mean, let’s be honest: she has to sit in a chair to shoot these. Which is entirely reasonable. She is more than 400 years old. But how is she going to hold up for a frenetic hour and a half of rapid costume changes that doesn’t end until 1AM? And these are really cute jokes about how old she is, but how are the jokes about how old she is going to hold up for a frenetic hour and a half of enough jokes about how old she is already? No, these promos are enough. Good work everyone. Get some rest, Betty White.

“Betty White” –Godsauce
Betty was always my favorite part of Golden Girls, and for that I cannot get on this backlash bandwagon.
Also, she resembles my grandmother in looks and sense of humor. I cannot not like her.
thank you for being a friend!
I don’t get the backlash either! She’s a veteran comedic actress. Why can’t we just give her a high five? Love you, B-White! Looking forward to SNL this week.
Same here, no sarcasism, I love me some Betty White. I might just watch this promos on a loop until Saturday. Watching B-Dub gives you all the warm-hearting benefits of having a real life nice grandma, without having to change her diapers.
Gabe’s showing his true colors as an Ageist. That’s right, I went there. With a capital letter and everything.
No sarcasmo, I hadn’t realized that there was a Betty White resurgence because I have always loved Betty White THIIIIIIIIIS MUCH. I will be likewise oblivious to any revival of Angela Lansbury, Rue McClanahan, and/or Candace Bergen.
I know, same here! How can it be a comeback? Betty White never went anywhere in my heart!
It’s like the Gabe-Delahaye-backlash-machine tried to poison me, and all the Monster children are clapping their hands! Believe, children, believe!
AGREE! I own a few awful, awful movies because I enjoy Betty White so much (I’m looking at you Lake Placid) and Candice Bergen, well, she’ll never go out of style. NEVER!!
Backlashes have always been my favorite part of internet culture, and for that I cannot get on this backlash backlash bandwagon.
ha ha she is old therefore she shouldnt know about rap music. I hope every joke in the episode revolves around this premise.
“Hey, wouldn’t it be funny if Betty White tried to rap??” –The writers of The Golden Girls circa 1991.
I can’t wait to see who they write in the Frontline placement ads into all those sketches.
speaking of chairs , whoopie cushions
if the Betty White SNL is half as funny as a prototypical Golden Girls episode, then this SNL is going to be the funniest episode of SNL in like two years.
That is a very solid point! Also my best friend loves imitation crabmeat. Just thought I would share.
You know there is going to Golden Girls sketch. It will basically determine whether the episode was good or not.
Yes, there will be a Golden Girls sketch. There will be a Rue McClanahan cameo, there will be shocked applause and cheering, and it will be to the tone of Sunset Daze.
She calls movies “talkies” and malls “walkies.” That is cute.
Dammit, Gabe! Betty White’s an old pro! She’s been in this industry ten years now. You think a few wardrobe changes are going to throw her off her game?
Look, I realize you like dope jokes on your comedy shows, but when I was raised that was a sure way to get investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee!
I loved you on Ferguson B-Dub! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxL7MKsGoPo
Turd Ferguson? That’s a Saturday Night Alive joke, right? I’ve been researching!
Sorry, B-dub. Dont you remember any of these?

I love Betty White! And of course, Golden Girls remains popular in syndication.
It remains popular on my dvr.
DAMN YOU, FACEBOOK CONNECT!
Guys, don’t you realize what this means? If we can get Betty White on SNL, we can get Cloris Leachman on Dancing with the stars!
my parents still talk fondly about her time on that show. for them it was the pinnacle of–a thing. I am not sure what.
All this Betty White talk is making me hungry.
cynicalgum!
Who is being cynical? Not me at least, Conan O’Brien taught me that being cynical is wrong.
They will be bringing back Oops I Crapped My Pants, only this time it will be an infomercial
Jay-z is the real fogey here.
Kristin Wiig is the love of my life. And Betty White is my surrogate grandmother.
Can this clip be my girlfriend?

She has never procreated! Can you believe that?
I didn’t think it was physically possible for a woman to reach that age without grandchildren.
She must be barren, because you know that trollop gets around. Just ask Foster Brooks.
I never realized that Betty White pronounces the “h” in her last name. You guys hear that?
I’m looking forward to the kissing family sketch.
Yeah, I can’t imagine how that’s going to go.
As a firm believer that every person of every age should be able to do everything, I support this episode 100 percent! Which is also why I get frustrated that my baby has no idea how to use his iPhone. I mean, what an idiot!
Yeah this seems like it will be fun. They can’t get top-level youth talent like Ryan Phillipe and Gabourey Sidibe EVERY week. At least Betty White is a comedienne instead of a featured cast member of a movie opening this week.
If Betty White was 63(she is lying about her age most likely) when SNL started than she is 99 when she hosts it on Saturday. I say we start a facebook group to have someone host SNL that is older than that. Have Gabe Host SNL Facebook Group.
I just hope that we don’t all have to witness Betty White die live this weekend.
Weren’t “Betty White is so old” jokes basically the animus of last week’s You Can Make It Up?
I came in here to say the exact same thing. Age jokes are just as lazy as fat jokes, and criticizing SNL for making old jokes while making only old jokes… it’s kinda weird.

I’ve never seen that. I take back my previous post. She can do whatever the fuck she wants after that.
Betty White Today Show appearance was also hilarious:

I love how she catches herself before saying, “I’m scared shitless.”
Why won’t Gabe let Betty White be great?
I don’t think Gabe is concerned that Betty White is physically not capable of doing this, it’s just that he’s more worried that it’s going to be a dull and repetitive show? So, I think he has a very valid point.
Betty White offers more potential for laughs than January Jones. Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin can’t host every week.
Here is my prediction about this show. There will be a boring cold opening with Fred Armisen. There will be a very funny opening monologue by Betty White. There will be a couple good pre-taped segments with Betty White. There will be maybe two live sketches featuring Betty White, with a couple guest stars from her past sitcoms to punch things up and make her feel comfortable. There will be a bunch of mediocre sketches not featuring Betty White. She will be about a hundred times better than January Jones.
“These haters are pussies so they should love me” Betty White to Gabe old man Delahaye
I have an interesting retort: Shut up.
Cute. Yay, Bettie! She totally deserves it. Looking forward to it!
