Betty White will host Saturday Night Live’s special Mother’s Day episode on May 8, NBC has announced.
The ep will also reunite six former female SNL cast members: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Molly Shannon, Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch.
“Years ago, I turned [SNL] down three times,” Betty told USA Today. “It’s so New York, and I’m not New York at all. But my agent said he’d divorce me if I didn’t do it, and I love my agent.”
Tina Fey hits the red carpet in Michael Kors and satin pumps by Jimmy Choo at the 2010 Oscars, held at the Kodak Theatre on Sunday (March 7) in Hollywood.
The 39-year-old actress, who rocked a one-shoulder sequined gown to the ceremony, told USA Today that she’s developed a red carpet strategy over the years: “Hang low and stay under the radar!”
Tina’s 30 Rock co-star, Alec Baldwin, is co-hosting the Academy Awards tonight with Steve Martin.
FYI: Tina carried a Kotur handbag and wore a Chrissy L ring on the red carpet!

Tina Fey keeps it classy on the March 2010 cover of Vogue, the mag’s eighth annual power issue. Here’s what the 39-year-old funny woman opened up about:
On normal girls: “I feel like I represent normalcy in some way. What are your choices today in entertainment? People either represent youth, power, or sexuality. And then there’s me, carrying normalcy. (pauses) Me and Rachael Ray.”
On America’s weight issues: “People will say, ‘Oh, fashion magazines are so bad, they’re giving girls a negative message’—but we’re also the fattest country in the world, so it’s not like we’re all looking at fashion magazines and not eating. Maybe it just starts a shame cycle: I’m never going to look like that model, so… Chicken McNuggets it is! And conversely, I don’t look at models who are crazy skinny and think I want to look like that, because a lot of them are gigantic, with giant hands and giant feet.”
On wearing hand-me-downs: (When she was in grade school, a cousin gave her some hand-me-downs that included a “colonial-lady” Halloween costume.) “It consisted of a bonnet and a burlap apron and a long skirt. And I would just wear it sometimes after school. As an outfit… It was the Bicentennial! People were excited!”

Tina Fey shows off her award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series at the Screen Actors Guild Awards held at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium on Saturday (January 23).
The 39-year-old actress, who wore a deep purple v-neck Ferragamo dress to the event, hobknobbed with co-star Alec Baldwin and screen legend Meryl Streep on the red carpet!
“I’m very surprised,” Tina said while accepting her award (via UPI). “I share this with the cast of 30 Rock and the writers, and I want to thank some of my acting teachers, because I actually did have some.”
Tina Fey is all smiles as she arrives at the 2010 Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday (January 17) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The 39-year-old three-time Golden Globe Awards winner wore a Zac Posen dress, Christian Louboutin heels with bow details and Fred Leighton jewels.
The event started off with a bit of wet weather as rain poured down on the red carpet. But always making the best of it, Tina joked about it all.
“It’s raining a lot,” Tina said. “I’m worried that my tattoos are going to start showing. You know, body makeup.”

Tina Fey goes glam in a Crepe de chine dress on the November 2009 cover of Harper’s Bazaar, on stands Ocotber 20th. Here’s what the 39-year-old comic heroine reveals:
On frozen faces in Hollywood: “You can point any kind of laser at my face, but I don’t think Botox is for me. I think it is bad. [People with Botox] look like their faces are full of candles — a shiny, shiny face. Festive. A holiday candle.”
On her trademark specs: “I don’t wear them very much in real life because I need them to see only far away. And I don’t wear them when I am dressed up, because then I would look like Tootsie.”
On why her 30 Rock alter-ego Liz Lemon would be BFF with Sex & the City’s Carrie Bradshaw: “Liz has little to no style and little to no sex drive. Carrie would be very encouraging of Lemon and help her have more confidence.”
On her day-to-day schedule: “Work, come home, play, kid bounce, work again, go to bed.” Fey goes on to say she often writes 30 Rock on the way to the studio and is so overwhelmed that “sometimes I’ll be telling my husband [composer Jeff Richmond], ‘I think I’m cracking up.’”
