Thanks To Facebook, Betty White May Host SNL

Since December of 2009 many Facebook fans have been rallying together to get Betty White to host an episode of Saturday Night Live. A group was started called 'Betty White to host SNL (PLEASE)' and since its start over 425,000 members have joined. If she comes to the show she would be taking part in an episode honoring 'women in comedy' and they would also bring back Tina Fey and Molly Shannon. There is some concern whether Betty can physically handle doing the show they fear that at 88 years old, setting the record as the oldest host, there might be to much involved for her to handle. To do one SNL there is a week of prep, then a full dress rehearsal and a live taping in front of a live audience. It will be interesting to see if she in fact listens to her Facebook fans and does the show.
