A pair of clueless, humorless, seemingly stoned NPR anchorettes stuck in the sixties in Birkenstocks interview "baker" Betty White on her legendary muffins and other assorted crusty delights. The tasty, racy stuff starts at 2:50:
NYDN's David Hinckley is smitten with Betty's SNL performance.
Bawdy Betty's opening monologue:
The audience is postively orgasmic as Betty shows up in the cold open - a hilarious takeoff on Lawrence Welk and the Lennon Sisters:
"Census worker" Tina Fey finds pulling information out of Betty White is like trying to get off with a dead battery vibrator:
NYT ejaculates all over Betty: All it took to reinvigorate a 35-year-old comedy show was the presence of an 88-year-old woman... The only real disappointment of the night was when the clock struck 1 a.m. and Ms. White and the cast had to step on stage to wave their goodbyes. If Facebook could successfully campaign to make Ms. White an “SNL” host, can it now begin the movement to make her a permanent cast member?
Lord, let me be 1 tenth that active and 1 one hundredth that talented when I'm 88.5 (and while you're at it, Lord, let's please make that happen)
ReplyDeleteBetty is a national treasure.I dont normally watch SNL but did last night.....she was great.
ReplyDeleteI was a big fan of Betty's Sue Ann Nivens in the 1970s "Mary Tyler Moore Show."
ReplyDeleteThe horny happy homemaker was always after Ed Asner's Lou Grant and had an on-screen tryst with Cloris Leachman's "husband" Lars.
Her role in the movie Lake Placid was priceless!

Is a blueberry muffin the female equivalent of blue balls?
ReplyDeleteNBC missed the boat. maddow would have been a "natural" for the muffin bit.
