... In 2009, White starred in the romantic comedy The Proposal alongside Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.
Also in 2009, the candy company Mars, Incorporated launched a global campaign for their Snickers bar; the campaign's slogan was: "You're not you when you're hungry". White appeared, alongside Abe Vigoda, in the company's advertisement for the candy during the 2010 Super Bowl XLIV. The advertisement became very popular, and won the top spot on the Super Bowl Ad Meter.
2010s: Hot in Cleveland and Betty White: First Lady of Television
Following the success of the Snickers advertisement, a grassroots campaign on Facebook called "Betty White to Host SNL (Please)" began in January 2010. The group was approaching 500,000 members when NBC confirmed on March 11, 2010, that White would in fact host Saturday Night Live on May 8. The appearance made her, at age 88, the oldest person to host the show, beating Miskel Spillman, the winner of SNL's "Anybody Can Host" contest, who was 80 when she hosted in 1977. In her opening monologue, White 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." The appearance earned her a 2010 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series....

Oddly the local listings don't show it. At least not on Titan-TV's listings. Maybe because they haven't had a chance to catch up. I'll check at 11:30 PST to see if somehow Betty White is hosting instead of Kieran Culkin... I hope. As I recall, it was a good show.

Well, she just died yesterday, so good chance the listings haven't been updated.
Good show.
I learned about it from the zap2it listings. Agreed, good show. CNN talking heads were just discussing how difficult SNL is for performers of any age, including with last minute rewrites and especially being in as many sketches as she was. She did great at "88 and a half."
The BW hosting show came round last night here at the usual 11:30 pm air time. I recorded it to DVD. There was a lot in it I probably didn't see when it first aired in 2010. And I can always fast forward through the thug music of JayZ.
That's a promo for The Proposal that GoCubsGo posted, not an SNL sketch.
My bad, it was a spoof they did in 2009 for Funny or Die, a "‘feud’ with Betty White" that Reynolds reignited on her 99th birthday on 1/17/2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDx1fPfHE5E
Still not SNL.

... One of the world's best-selling music artists, with over 125 million records sold, Jay-Z has won 23 Grammy Awards, the most by a rapper, and holds the record for the most number-one albums by a solo artist on the Billboard 200 (14). Ranked by Billboard and Rolling Stone as one of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, Jay-Z was the first rapper honored in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the first solo living rapper inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Well, I don't like Eminem or Vanilla Ice either. It's all BULLSHIT.
Still waiting for Vrede to fess up about its slave holding ancestry. If any. It was noticibly silent the last time I brought it up. That's a clue. Also, its over the top "Woke-ier Than Thou" fratitude. Another tell.
What parts of, "My ancestors arrived in America post-slavery" and "German Jews," are unclear to you, moron? Of course, your sleazy attempt to smear all Jews just further proves your bigotry. Smart. Nazi much?
