Betty White Confirms ‘SNL’ Hosting Gig

The internet won! After a major push from “The Betty White to Host SNL (please?)!” Facebook page, the former “Golden Girls” star has said yes and confirmed she will appear on “Saturday Night Live.”

Per Access Hollywood:

“I don’t know why or how,” she said, “but it’s been wonderful.”

Fans launched a massive online push after she appeared in a popular Snickers ad during the Super Bowl. While NBC has yet to officially confirm the news, White, who allegedly signed with Saturday Night Live several weeks ago, confirmed her hosting gig Sunday at Elton John’s annual Oscars party that she will be making an appearance on the late night comedy show this season. There’s no word yet the details of White’s appearance, but rumors are that she will likely to do the show with former “SNL” cast member Molly Shannon some time in May. At 88, White is poised to shatter the record for oldest person to host “SNL.” That honor is currently held by Miskel Spillman, an 80-year-old woman who in 1977 won the show’s “Anyone Can Host” contest.

Betty White’s so hot right now even Robert Pattinson thinks she’s “sexy.”
