Betty White made her highly-anticipated appearance on Saturday Night Live, charming viewers and keeping us laughing as only she can do. From the opening Lawrence Welk skit, her delicious muffin (missing its cherry), to her very special Mother’s Day wish and the census skit that wrapped the show, White hit a home run. On Facebook, where fans started the campaign to get White on SNL, many quoted her best lines while fans on Twitter helped make #BettyWhite and Betty White trending topics. 

It wasn’t just Facebook and Twitter where fans converged, viewers tuned in too. According to Entertainment Weekly, White’s appearance helped SNL earn “its highest overnight ratings in 18 months” when “John McCain appeared alongside Tina Fey as Governor Sarah Palin.”

We rejoiced at the news Betty White would appear on an episode of Saturday Night Live, now SNL's executive producer has cleared up whether or not White will be hosting the show. The episode will air on May 8. 

Michaels says that as the live show's oldest host, she can perform "as much as she wants to do" but adds that the physical demands of the show led him to plan the cast reunion, though make no mistake: White is the solo host.

She's flattered and flabbergasted by the attention: "It's lovely, and at my age it's certainly unexpected." And she's not worried about the workload: "I've got so much energy, it's ridiculous. I love working. My schedule is a feverish one, and I'm used to that."

Betty White has confirmed she will appear on Saturday Night Live, according to People. No details have been released as to what the pop culture icon's visit will entail, but Entertainment Weekly reported in late February that it may be part of a "Women of Comedy" episode.

 Betty White isn't slowing down anytime soon. In addition to being pre-nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award, being "thisclose" to hosting SNL, having recently starred in a popular Super Bowl commercial and a hit movie, the Golden Girl has now landed a role in the TV Land comedy pilot Hot in Cleveland opposite of Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick, according to The Wrap.

As if all of that wasn't enough to herald White the reigning Queen of Pop Culture— as our Jamey Giddens recently declared her on a Daytime Confidential podcast— Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson told the ladies on The View "I think Betty White is probably one of the sexiest women in America" He continued, “She’s vibrant; it’s sexy. I think the more age the better.”
