Betty White's first network series - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Betty White was already starring in the syndicated Life With Elizabeth when she began hosting this daytime talk show on NBC in 1954. I never thought I'd see this show. It's kind of cool. Betty was so young there too.

That was a neat clip. I never realized that Betty sang! Or that she hosted a talk show! But I guess when it comes to show business she's pretty much done it all!

Betty sang and danced on both The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls! Remember her doing Goodship Lollipop on MTM also, I think she did a number at the Teddy Awards once,and the tap-dancing routine with Rue, on GG, and the cartwheels at the dance marathon!!!!

(Okay, I know that was a stunt person...)

Yeah, Betty has a wonderful singing voice and she has done so many things back in the 40s and 50s.

Betty has a nice singing voice. I also enjoyed her in 'Life with Elizabeth'. Her character reminds me of a young Rose Nyland.
