Betty White was also a popular subject at the TCA panel on CMT’s first scripted sitcom, Working Class, which followed TV Land's session. The comedy starring Melissa Petersen (Reba) and veteran Ed Asner launches on Jan. 28 with 2 back-to-back episodes. Asner was joking about his former Mary Tyler Moore Show co-star White (who had just finished her appearance on the panel for Hot in Cleveland). “Betty White’s in the building…I hope I get to touch her,” he said.
Asner, 81, was asked whether White was “still hot, in his eyes.” Replied Asner: “I just had cataracts, so I’m still adjusting – but what I’m seeing is looking pretty good.”
Asner (whom co-star Petersen referred to as a “sex symbol”) was also asked the secret to his – and White’s -- longevity in the business. “I think talent has something to do with it,” the actor shot back, adding: “I think I am in that middle stage of aging….prior to becoming Mickey Rooney, or Betty White.”
