Betty White SNL Follow-up

Ok, so I didn't really get anything that I asked for when Betty White appeared on SNL this past Saturday night.

No special ballad from Jay-Z, no skits featuring 'The Golden Girls', 'Sue Ann Nivens' or 'Password'. One thing I sort of got was the shout-out to Abe Vigoda I asked for. At least they showed the 'Snickers' commercial that he was in with Betty.

But even if I didn't get any of that, the show still made me laugh. White was amazing given her age. I mean, I don't think I could do a live show right now and this woman is more than twice my age!

Given all the hype surrounding this episode, I knew there would be some critics who would bash the writers no matter what they did and of course, there were.

But I loved many of the skits and even when White wasn't in a paticular segment, the regulars, and special guests, did an outstanding job. It was sooooo awesome to see Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Ana Gasteyer, Molly Shannon, and Maya Rudolph back on the show. Rudolph as Whitney Houston was particularly hiliarious.

Might I suggest that once a year, the show welcome back all the vets? I think that's an excellent idea. It would give the writers and viewers a chance to revisit some our favorite skits and characters. Like NPR skit with Shannon and Gasteyer that we saw this weekend, and the 'Really?' news segment with Poehler and head writer Seth Meyers.

So, overall, job well done everyone!!

Now I hear there's a campaign to get Carol Burnett to host SNL. I'd tune in for that!!!
