Betty White: golden hosting ‘Saturday Night Live’

NEW YORK — Betty White demonstrated how it’s done as host of this week’s “Saturday Night Live.” Drawing on her six decades in comedy, she was the consummate pro at 88 years old – sweet, sassy, salty, charming and clearly game for anything. “I’m not new to live TV,” she reminded the audience, recalling that she had starred in a live sitcom in 1952. “Of course, back then, we didn’t WANT to do it live. We just didn’t know how to tape things. I don’t know what THIS show’s excuse is.”
