    Why is it a “cool” catch that Betty White would not be hosting SNL alone?!?!

    The Facebook page was created so Betty White, herself, would be the host.

    I am highly disappointed in the “Women of Comedy” idea.

    FAIL and LAME!

    What about Rue MacClanahan? She’s still around you know, the only other Golden Girl alive. What about her?

    Is SNL trying to say that comedians who happen to be women can’t hold their own for 90 minutes by themselves?

    I saw this same article from LA Times in the entertainment section. It is a rumor and it old news.

    my thoughts about it, I love Betty White, don’t think she could or should do the whole show. She should be the only host for the evening she is on. It can be done like this. 1. Opening Monologue, 2. SNL digital short, 3. The news as special co anchor with Seth Meyers, this way it is all written down for her, 3 and 4, she introduces the band of the evening, 5, Her goodbyes with the cast, and only one live skit for her, maybe 2 if she could pull it off. See how easy that sounds, Basically she would be on the same minimal amount as any other guest host would be. Am I wrong, does anyone disagree about my thought and idea of it.

    I believe she would do well with some past friends and new ones on SNL. I think the only reason for the part time on SNL for some ppl is just the plain fact of stamina.
    An exceptional actress who can hold her own with any other actor/actress. Any…Brangalina would have to keep up. Love ya Betty.
