To celebrate Betty White’s SNL debut, the Game Show Network will host a seven-hour marathon of the octogenarian’s greatest game show moments. White, a once-frequent guest on Match Game, will be the central programming theme for the cable network from 9 am to 4 pm on May 8.
White appeared on the show from 1974 to 1977 along fellow celebs like Eva Gabor, Richard Dawson and Brett Somers. Match Game was a slightly naughty Mad Libs-style game where contestants did their best to match celebrity answers - and really, it’s great fun. If you’ve never seen the show, Betty White Saturday is a great excuse to check it out. During the marathon, viewers will be treated to classic Betty White moments. She’ll show off some exotic dancing, have ice cubes thrown down her blouse and make jokes about her famous then-husband Allen Ludden.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, ABC, Gossip, Rumors,
Tori Spelling may soon add “talk show host” to her resume.
The 36-year-old actress currently in discussions with ABC to front a new show with a male co-host. According to the Los Angeles Times, the network is reportedly looking for a “Will & Grace vibe between Spelling and her as-yet-undiscovered BFF.”

Betty White may be “scared to death” about her upcoming Saturday Night Live gig, but she didn’t appear that way during yesterday’s Ellen show.
During Monday’s broadcast, White admitted that she had been asked to host SNL three other times before, but she had always turned the producers down because the program is “so New York” and she’s not. So when this whole “silly Facebook thing started” and she was asked again, she was pleasantly surprised.

Although this morning’s discussion initially focused on the shameful actions some people took during yesterday’s proceedings, today’s hot topic took a heated turn when Elizabeth Hasselbeck referenced those who were allegedly “bribed, bullied, and shut out” because they didn’t want to vote “Yes.”
I can only hear Kristen Wiig saying this phrase right now: “Just let me make my point - it’d be easy!”
