Betty White to host SNL

Now that over 480,000 Facebook fans have put in their request, will Betty White finally make an appearance on ‘Saturday Night Live’? In a word, “yes.”
That’s what the legendary Emmy winner told PEOPLE at the 18th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Award Viewing Party, held last night in Los Angeles.
White remained tight-lipped on the full details of her appearance, but she did offer her thoughts on the Internet movement, which she called “wonderful.”
Indeed, it’s been a great year for the 88-year-old, who earned big laughs while accepting her SAG Lifetime Achievement award in January. She followed that with a surprise appearance in a Super Bowl commercial for Snickers (alongside ‘Barney Miller’s’ Abe Vigoda, no less). Fans quickly took notice, and launched the now-famous campaign.
In recent weeks, there had been rumblings that White would co-host a “Women of Comedy” special episode alongside ‘SNL’ alums Tina Fey and Molly Shannon. Executive producer Lorne Michaels has since denied the reports.
White — whose career has spanned multiple decades, with roles on such TV classics as ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show’ and ‘The Golden Girls’ — has never hosted ‘Saturday Night Live.’
