Sources have just revealed that the magnificent Betty White will be appearing as host of SNL on May 8!
What a Mother's Day treat!
As we expected, Betty won't be going at it alone. She'll be hosting with a slew of other lady comics in honor of the day of mommies, such as Tina Fey,Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch.
Fun! Fun! Fun!
They have to do a Golden Girls sketch! We want Tina to play Dorothy, Amy to Rose, Molly to play Blanche, and Betty to play Sophia!
You Asked for It, You Got It: Comic genius Betty White will host NBC’s Saturday Night Live — for the first time in the show’s 35 year history — on May 8.
Betty’s appearance in a popular Super Bowl ad sparked a Facebook campaign that has actually come to fruition: the funnywoman and former Golden Girl has been tipped to host the upcoming Mother’s Day episode of SNL, series creator Lorne Michaels has confirmed to USA TODAY.
The Betty White to Host SNL (please?)! Facebook page launched shortly after Betty and Abe Vigoda were seen playing football with men young enough to be their great-grandsons in a Snickers Super Bowl commercial. Since then, the group has attracted more than 485,000 whippersnappers. Betty’s so hot right now even Robert Pattinson thinks she’s sexy.
And she won’t be coming to 30 Rockefeller Center alone: The May 8 episode will also feature a reunion of six former female cast members, many of them now moms themselves, including: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer, and Rachel Dratch.
Comedy fans rejoice! Betty White has confirmed that she will make an appearance on Saturday Night Live later this season.
Fans have been clamoring for the 88-year-old White to host SNL for months. A Facebook page devoted to the cause has nearly 1 million followers. Last month, they were whispers that Betty would join a few other fellow femme comediennes, like Molly Shannon and Tina Fey, for a SNL Women of Comedy Special.
“I don’t know why or how, but it’s been wonderful.” Betty recently said of the grassroots campaign to bring her to SNL.
If Betty is tipped to host SNL, she will become the oldest person in the show’s 35 year history to do so.
Zach Galifianakis marked his Saturday Night Live hosting gig this weekend by saying goodbye to his trademark beard. While hosting the late-night sketch comedy series on Saturday, the 40-year-old comedian slipped backstage and emerged with his signature shaggy, reddish beard gone — and a moustache in its place.
SNL funny gal Kristen Wiig tries on a few famous personas in the new issue of V Magazine, now on newsstands nationwide. Styled by Sally Lyndley, Wiig channels Carmen Miranda, screen sex symbol Brigitte Bardot, and famous painter Frida Kahlo in a visually-impressive shoot snapped by shutterbug Tom Allen.
“With her repertoire of offbeat and wonderfully weird characters, she has carved out a niche within the niche of Saturday Night Live, but what’s most extraordinary about Kristen Wiig’s ultra-specific and perverse humor is that millions of people are laughing along….”
All the former Saturday Night Live presidents come together to save the economy and urge Wall Street reform in one new Funny or Die video! A non-profit group called Americans for Financial Reform is sponsoring the new sketch, which features current and former SNL stars from the past four decades playing President Obama and predecessors Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, and Ford.
People just can’t seem to get over the craptacular remake of the charity classic “We Are The World.” Organized to generate funds for Haitian earthquake relief, the tune has instead become the laughing stock of the recording industry. Check out Jennifer Lopez — who was a co-host and musical guest on this weekend’s Saturday Night Live — performing a “We Are The World 3″ spoof in character as pop star Rihanna.
For the first time since 2001, Jennifer Lopez hosts an all new Saturday Night Live Feb. 27. Although she recently parted ways/got the boot (depending on who’s telling the story) from her longtime label home at Sony/Epic, JLo says fans can expect her seventh LP, Love?, to drop sometime this summer.
Good news, comedy fans: Emmy-winning actress/comedienne Tina Fey says she’ll probably bring back her Sarah Palin when she hosts Saturday Night Live in April. Tina’s performances as the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate were a hallmark of the 2008 race for The White House and drew huge ratings for the show. The skits also helped the SNL alum her the title of 2008 Associated Press Entertainer of the Year.
