I liked her opening monologue and the Muffin sketch was okay

We love you Betty and I watched most of the Match Game episodes today :-)

Courtnee · 05-09-2010, 12:03 AM

Watching it right now! LOVES IT.

Very good show tonight. Love the MacGruber sketches with Betty in. OMG those are a riot. Specially the marriage proposal one. LMAO

Family Ties Forever! · 05-09-2010, 12:13 AM

I'm watching SNL now.

Cactus Jack · 05-09-2010, 01:14 AM

It was awesome!

ZeldaGilroy · 05-09-2010, 01:19 AM

I LOVED it! Funniest SNL they've had in a very long time. I especially liked CSI: Sarasota and that Census sketch at the end.

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 05-09-2010, 01:22 AM

Um, hell yeah I did! It was EPIC.

MikeLutton · 05-09-2010, 01:55 AM

I was really hoping they would do one. They could have done some really funny with that.

Tweety · 05-09-2010, 12:08 PM

I totally forgot she was going to be the host, and I don't always think to watch it anyway... I'll have to see what video of the show I can track down... I think the Macgruber skits are hilarious, I'll have to find that one especially (I'm not going to see the Macgruber movie though).

Wow, CSI Sarasota? That's close to where I live, I gotta see this stuff... and I'll definitely keep an eye out for when they re-run the show!

Well heck, it looks like the episode (at least most of it) is posted here at hulu ... the video is 46 minutes in length... I'll definitely check it out...

MrCleveland · 05-09-2010, 12:42 PM

I saw all of it.

And I expected that they would do the "Lawrence Welk" sketch just before they aired it...and they did!

Betty White played The Meyrl Sister and Junice was there talking about living upstairs when she's with her mother.

Betty was absolutely brilliant last night on SNL! She knocked the opening monologue out of the park, which is hard to do for most stars! I loved the "Delicious Dish" radio show about Betty's muffins, and it was wonderful to see Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon return! Betty does raunch with such style! I was thrilled to see so many former female cast members return, just to honor Betty hosting the show! Way to go, Betty!!! So very proud of you!

Retro4Life · 05-09-2010, 02:30 PM

Yeah, Betty was very, very good and it was gratifying to see the audience's obvious love for her.

I laughed at most of the skits. Thought they might have overdone the "isn't it funny that an old lady is profane?" theme a bit; the 1904 skit was the worst in that regard. But I loved the CSI and Census and NPR skits. Betty makes just about anything she's in enjoyable.

Betty is ratings gold for SNL

http://tvbythenumbers.com/2010/05/09...s-nascar/50881

The Betty White hosted episode of Saturday Night Live scored a preliminary 8.8 household rating in the 56 largest metered markets, and a preliminary 5.1 rating with adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with Local People Meters. Those were the best SNL numbers since the episode on November 1 2008 scored a preliminary 9.0 household rating in the 56 metered markets.
