"Guess what? Jay-Z is here! If I had a dime for everytime I've said that, I'd have a dime!" Nicely played. White does a nice aside while joking about poking.

She reminds us that in the 1950s, they didn't want to go live, either, but they didn't know how to do it otherwise. "It's great to be here for a number of reasons," White said. White makes it to center stage in a quicker time than either of my grandmothers did when they were 88 (especially since one never made it to that age). A little bit of fawning is expected, though.

Let's try to keep some perspective on it? Just showing up does not automatically warrant complete fawning. They got all of the old ladies in the open with one of Wiig's crazy characters and gave White as little as possible to do. Here she's mother to the sister act of Janice (Amy Poehler), Peggy (Maya Rudolph), Clara (Ana Gasteyer) and tiny-handed big-foreheaded Judice (Kristen Wiig), who sing with Will Forte. Stop applauding just because you see Betty White alive. Not a reference to the Juggalos so far as I know. We open cold with the Lawrence Welk (Fred Armisen) take on Mother's Day, so many tiny bubbles and a tease to the Jugglettes: Rachel Dratch, Tina Fey and Molly Shannon. What would that leave for the actual cast to do, though? And how would 88-year-old Betty White fare as a host, anyhow? Or are we going to be pleased as punch if it was all reunions and putting naughty words in White's mouth? (Foreshadowing) Onto the All-Star RECAP! And from what I had heard earlier in the week, with so many returning regulars guesting this week, my expectation was that we would see essentially a reunion of recurring characters. With a live show such as SNL, you never really know what you're going to get until it happens, no matter how the rehearsals or the table reads go. Too many of my acquaintances were hyped up about this show before it ever went live, which to me, is always an ominous sign.
