Everyone Really Wants To See Betty White Do Fart Jokes Live
Few things have more power than Facebook fan pages. Obviously. That's why new episodes of Designing Women are back on the air, why Mr. Bean is on his third sold-out world tour, and why "Chocolaaaaaaaaaaaaate" is now the official American English spelling for "chocolate." But more than playful spellings of cocoa bean products, what Facebook users really, really want is to see Betty White, aka Rose Nylund, host Saturday Night Live.
Why? Basically, because they really, really like Betty White—which is a valid sentiment. Everyone likes Betty White. She's a funny ex-Golden-Girl who loves animals and who groped Sandra Bullock on film—what's not to like? But the Facebook users who joined the Betty White to Host SNL (please?)! fan page don't just like Betty White, they want to reward her for her many years of being likeable:
Betty White has been doing television since before I Love Lucy! What a way to honor her career, her comedic timing, and her life than by inviting her to host Saturday Night Live!!!
Yes, giving Betty White the chance to play a grunting lady ping-pong champion while Jason Sudekis' sportscaster character does side-splitting on-air commercials for scented maxi-pads and douches for the 115th time would be a great way to honor Betty White's long career. Maybe if she's lucky she'll be able to participate in that "family that graphically kisses each other for 5 solid minutes" sketch. She could play the grandma!
