Betty White, returning Saturday Night Live to its proper place among intellectuals and Sarah Palin mobs, last night filed not just a riotous turn as host, but also stayed true to her gay roots. Brava, Bets.
“You’re barking up the wrong lesbian?” “If I could go back in time, I would lez it up 24 hours.” Aces.
Last night’s SNL was the best it’s had in ages and it truly showed how outside of Kristen Wiig the show seriously needs help in the funny lady department.
That said, Ms. White was EPIC as host and the returning castmastes didn’t steal her shine at all (which is something I had feared), the entire program was completely hers.
Bravo to Betty White for proving that comedy doesn’t dwindle as age goes on, and for consistently proving to be the consummate funny lady for all these years.
