Exclusive: ‘SNL’ close to landing Betty White

Full Story at CNN.com

(EW.com) — When a grassroots campaign involves both Facebook and a beloved “Golden Girl,” the scope of its influence cannot be underestimated.

To wit: Sources confirm to me exclusively that “Saturday Night Live” is thisclose to signing TV legend Betty White to host the show for the very first time.

But there’s a catch — and a pretty cool one at that.

White would not be hosting alone. Rather, I hear “SNL” is putting together a “Women of Comedy” episode that would team the former Rose Nylund with several of her younger contemporaries. Ex-”SNL” MVP Molly Shannon is on board, I hear, and feelers have also been put out to Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
