Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Rumors,
NBC may have chosen Jay Leno over Conan O’Brien, but the Peacock can still recognize good comedy.
An internet campaign urging the network to get Betty White on Saturday Night Live appears to have finally worked. Execs are reportedly sealing a deal that would bring the comedienne - and several other funny ladies - to the stage.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the 88-year-old’s appearance may become part of a proposed “Women of Comedy” event. Others rumored for that possible show include Molly Shannon, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler—all SNL alums.
As of today, nearly 430,000 people have already joined the “Betty White to Host SNL (please?)!” page on Facebook.
No projected air date for White’s broadcast has yet been announced.

New Ads Promote Jay Leno’s Return to The Tonight Show
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Talk Shows, NBC, Commercials, Video,
These new spots promoting the revamped Tonight Show encourage Jay Leno - and viewers - to “Get Back” to where they once belong.
Although the commercials offer very little as far as content, I would like to thank NBC for the reminder. I’ll have to make sure my DVR’s switched back to Letterman once March 1 comes around.

TV Talk: Spike Orders Tiger Woods-Esque Show, Octomom Heads to The View
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Daytime, Drama, Late Night, Prime Time, Specials, Talk Shows, ABC, Cable, NBC, Syndication, Saturday Night Live, Gossip, News,
-Spike TV has ordered a pilot about a golfer (John Schneider) and his sex-crazed caddy…named Tiger. It’s not known who’ll play John’s buddy in Back Nine.
-Tina Fey’s admits her Saturday Night Live hosting gig this April will likely include a Sarah Palin sketch. At least there’ll be one funny part that night.
-Nadya Suleman will be leaving her babies behind to co-host The View next Wednesday. The noise may send the Octomom running back home.
-Meanwhile, Barbara Walters has decided that her upcoming Oscars special will be her last. Having to keep ten Best Film names straight is more than she can handle.
-Stewart Bailey, a former co-executive producer on the Daily Show, is now in charge of helping Last Call with Carson Daly. It’s a shame to see talent like that wasted.
