0Film Vault Friday: Betty White Roasted
After a Facebook campaign that we thought would never end, Betty White has finally been announced as the host of Saturday Night Live for the May 8 episode.
In honour of the announcement, here’s one of the most unique Betty White clips I could find (also tied to my post from earlier today): her Friar’s Club Roast from 1977. Worth watching for the intro alone. Rich Little! Abe Vigoda! Jimmy Walker!
This is part 1 of 5. The others are kicking around Youtube if you think you can handle it!
