I haven’t watched SNL regularly for years, but I think I would tune in to watch Betty White.
Apparently, there is an [internet campaign](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/10/campaign-mounts-to-get-be_n_456679.html)petitioning SNL to get Betty White as host of SNL.

I think it will happen. She is funny as hell. Not prude AT ALL. Plus, she her career is pretty hot right now.

I jumped on that bandwagon before they crossed 100,000 FB fans. 🙂 Love to see Betty on SNL!

Totally signing that petition.
She’d be fooking hilarious. I can’t wait for the Golden Girls spoof sketch!

Very cool, if true. Has there ever been such a campaign to get a SNL host?

Thats great, they could do some great parodies with Betty White from her past roles.
Can you imagine an 80 something Sue Ann Nivens still pursuing Lou Grant?
How about 80 something Rose Neyland still telling St Olaf stories to Blanche and Dorothy?
How about x-rated password?
