It’s official!  Betty White will be hosting Saturday Night Live on May 8th.  

 It will be the Mother’s Day episode and is already going to have 6 former female cast members on the show and we imagine a boatload of guest stars.   

She can thank A Facebook campaign that was kicked off after her Snickers Super Bowl commercial where she let herself be tackled. 

Betty was asked to host Saturday Night Live 3 times before and turned it down.  This time, her agent said he would divorce her if she didn’t do it.  It was like do it now or when you are 95.

White, who is 85 is looking forward to the gig.  “It’s lovely, and at my age it’s certainly unexpected.”  I’ve got so much energy, it’s ridiculous. I love working. My schedule is a feverish one, and I’m used to that.”

Ahhh.  The power of Facebook.-Dr.FB

Oprah, Dave & Jay Surprise Super Bowl Audience

Posted in Celebrity News, Entertainment, Television on February 8th, 2010 by drfunkenberry

The Super Bowl had some pretty horrible commercials, where it seems advertisers forgot to entertain and at the most, make you laugh.

The biggest surprise, however, was the Late Show With David Letterman commercial which featured David Letterman, Oprah Winfrey and….Jay Leno?  Yup. 

Shortly after the commercial aired, Oprah revealed on her Twitter that the commercial was filmed in Dave’s studio undercover with all 3 of them.

It was one of the shorter commercials but effective.  What do you think of the commercial?  Am I right that the commercials were hella lackluster this year?-Dr.FB
