Betty White, who is almost 90 now still has her comic timing intact. The veteran comic actor has had countless highlights throughout her remarkable career as a television star.
Many of you might know that she had another standout performance to her credit when she appeared in an amusing Snickers commercial, where she gets pummeled by young men during a touch football game, that aired during the Super Bowl.
This ad has triggered an unexpected campaign on Facebook “Betty White to Host SNL (please?)!”. As the page title suggests, fans are campaigning for her to host “Saturday Night Live.”
“Betty White has been doing television since before I Love Lucy! What a way to honor her career, her comedic timing, and her life than by inviting her to host Saturday Night Live!!!” the page reads.
NBC reps, on the other hand, have been mum on the ardent pleas. “Sorry. We never comment on this sort of thing,” a representative for SNL told Entertainment Weekly.
But the Facebook campagin shows no sign of slowing down with the number of fans rising to more than 300 thousand at the time of writing this article.
“Olympic Medal for Betty White!,” writes a fan. “She would steal the show,ratings would go sky high,I’ll go for that. Goooooooooo Betty!” writes another.
Three of her costars from “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” Mary Tyler Moore, Ted Knight, and Edward Asner have already hosted SNL. Maybe it’s high time for Betty to have her turn.
It is also worth mentioning that the numbers of fan for “Betty White to Host SNL (Please?)!” fan page has even surpassed the number of fans of the official fan page for “Saturday Night Live” on Facebook.
