Congratulations Facebook fans of Betty White.
Your campaign to get her booked as SNL host has worked,
The 88-year-old former Golden Girl will host the show on May 8th, during the all-important May sweeps ratings period.
About a half-million fans petitioned SNL honcho Lorne Michaels and NBC to put Betty front & center on an episode of the show, and Michaels easily caved, saying he “always wanted” her to host the show.
And Betty backs him up on that.
“Years ago, I turned it down three times,” she says. “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.”
