The oldest mother ever found for hosting SNL came this year as 88 1/2 year old Betty White did it. Facebook, had a lot to do with this happening along with some creativity by Lorne Michaels & the production team. White beings it off very well.
The opening sketch with White in a musical? it works, & her monologue is right on too. The NPR sketch with Muffins is a hoot. The only surprise with me was the Latin-American sketch. This one is a slap in the face which is of questionable taste especially considering the recent headlines & over reaction to a 10 page Arizona law which no body has read & no one seems to know how if will effect things.
Since NBC does this show in NYC & has a studio in downtown Burbank, I doubt if this sketch will cause any boycott problems in LA or other areas who are blindly condemning something they have not read. This is by far the worst sketch in the show. White is fantastic the rest of the show.
SNL has never been a Bastien of political correctness so they can be forgiven for this sketch. This is the home of the Claudine Longet Skeet Shooting Competition & Gerald Fords "If He's So Stupid, Why Is He President" campaign slogans in Season 1.
