I love Betty White. She's hosting SNL tonight for the first time. She's, what, 88? So, I thought we'd all enjoy a place to laugh along, and perhaps tell stories about our moms? SNL tonight is featuring several former cast members who are moms. Betty herself chose not to have kids -- another reason I respect the heck out of her! She's a fierce animal activist, too.
Her best joke so far?
"In my day, we didn't have FaceBook. We had phone books, but you wouldn't waste an afternoon on it."
