On may 8, 2010, Betty White hosted Saturday Night Live after a grassroots campaign on Facebook called “Betty White to Host SNL (Please)” began in January. The appearance made her, at age 88, the oldest person to host the show and earned her a 2010 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series, her seventh Emmy win overall. In her opening monologue, she thanked Facebook and joked that she "didn't know what Facebook was, and now that I do know what it is, I have to say, it sounds like a huge waste of time."

to say that it had been a long night would be an understatement. not only had betty worked her first shift in the morning, but she also covered for valerie in the evening and when they both worked at a 24-hour diner in new york city it was destined to be a long day no matter what.

she had just finished putting up a new pot of coffee when the bell above the door rang to signal another late-night arrival. before she could see who it was, betty called out, ❝ welcome to pop's, would you like a booth or a t-- ❞ . she stopped when she saw who it was and a large sigh of relief followed, ❝ i thought you were going to be another late night sad-tipper. ❞ she moved around the counter, an exhausted but excited smile on her face, and immediately wrapped her arms around them, ❝ it's good to see a familiar face ❞ .
