For the love of Pete, you had Betty White!
I know, I know, even my colleague thought Betty White was a success on SNL. But you know what? It wasn't funny.
They had Betty Friggin' White. Think what they could have done with her. Maybe I'm sulking because I didn't get any Sue Ann Nivens, but this woman is hysterical and all I saw were put-the-old-lady-in-a-wig skits. Oh, and make her talk dirty.
I know a Facebook campaign brought her to the show and SNL's ratings were through the roof, apparently the highest in 18 months.
Still, what a waste.
Invite her back, folks, and let her call the shots.
Betty is a trip! After Alan died (her husband), I worried if she would want to come back. But like George Burns, these are rare individuals. She can be my Grandma or Step Mom anyday. I don't know if the world would quite be ready for that however. Good luck Betty, if you do happen to get a blink at this footnote.
