Season 35, Episode 21
10/10
Easily the Best SNL In A Long Time
1 June 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Over 500,000 Facebook users (including me) requested it and boy were we right. Betty White hosted the season ending Saturday Night Live and brought the house down. Starting with the Lawrence Welk "Tribute to Mother's Day, " continuing with a killer monologue and especially the "Delicious Dish - Dusty Muffin" sketch, Ms. White displayed the talents that have made her a TV legend. She started on live television and she restored the last live entertainment/variety/comedy show's luster for at least one night. The "Who Me?" innocence that made some of the most risqué lines deliver howls of laughter. "Oh dear, my muffin hasn't has a cherry since 1939," is probably the best example. She even spices up Weekend Update with her sassy 90 year old character. She had cast members scrambling to keep up with her. The episode is on Hulu, so if you haven't seen it, by all means watch it and remember how good SNL can be with the right people. Perhaps in the coming season Betty White's Dusty Muffin will meet up with Alec Baldwin's Schweddy Balls.
