88-year-old BETTY WHITE recently confirmed that she WILL be appearing on "Saturday Night Live" this season! She will be hosting the May 8th episode - and contrary to early rumors, she will be hosting alone.
However, it's going to be a special Mother's Day episode, which will also feature the returns of six female "SNL" veterans: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch. So even though Betty will be hosting solo, the "SNL" reunion would allow her to take a more limited role in the sketches, if she chooses to. But it sounds like Betty is up for anything. She says, quote, "I've got so much energy, it's ridiculous. I love working. My schedule is a feverish one, and I'm used to that."
As you probably know by now, the rush to bring Betty to "SNL" was started by a Facebook campaign called Betty White to Host SNL, but "SNL" boss LORNE MICHAELS said he's, quote, "always wanted" her to do it. And Betty backs that up! "Years ago, I turned it down three times. It's so New York, and I'm not New York at all. But my agent said he'd divorce me if I didn't do it, and I love my agent."
