@@haroldelrod8515 Whatever dude. A little friendly ribbing between two professional comedians who have a history that goes back more than 30 years. Betty White takes as good as she gives. Nothing Betty said about her castmates was malicious or mean-spirited. She was always funny, bright and engaging and entertaining which is what late nite talk shows guests USED to be before the whole industry turned into one continuous plug for this movie or that book or whatever. Betty had a genuine and deep affection for all her co-stars as evidenced by countless interviews, panels and her auto-biography.

She is so damn gorgeous!

I'm 64! Ready to move into a shared home, too.

@@nonenoneonenonenone like a golden girl 💜

I am 64 , just amazing how fast time goes !

And worked heavily right up until covid

She wasn't a genius. She had good writers and good direction. She did have quick wit. I would not classify her as genius status.

​@@stephenbabb3805To each his own.

She was also a dimwit on the Mary Tyler Moore show.

You're half right. He was a mean drunken alcoholic womanizer off stage.

@@bobma6342YES!!!!

@@bobma6342nd he was not funny.

@@chr970 I didn't think so

I couldn't stand Johnny Carson, I thought him a nasty man. Totally spiteful.

I was so sad that she died aged 99 years & 49 weeks. I truly thought she would make it to 100. Ms. White was so damn clever & talented. She is now reunited with the love of her life.

@@maudeboggins9834 I thought the same thing about her age. It broke my heart that she missed an even 100. As for Alan Ludden, he really was her "the one." (Alan's name was corrected.)

@@marcochimio Thank you for saying that about Ms. White not getting quite to her 100th. I too was broken hearted. My husband thought I was talking about a relative when I saw the headlines she had passed away. I kept saying Oh, Oh no, how sad. He didn't quite embrace my heart break at her being so near but yet so far.

@@marcochimio Bill Cullen? Oh. I will have to investigate that one.

She's with the love of her life.❤

I remember seeing this when it originally aired. I was laughing so hard I woke my wife up. she started laughing right along when she realized what she was seeing which Honestly has been a really good source of happiness for me ever since I lost my wife so many years ago i was married for 42years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could do nothing to change any thing so I felt helpless I miss her everyday. Mothers are the glue that holds everyone together.. it broke me to pieces so seeing comments like this makes me smile.

How many times did she flirt with you?

@@jamespfitz Only once at a fundraiser I was working at ~20 years ago. I still remember it well.

And Artie lange outlived all of them

Both women lived extraordinary lives, in different forms and to old age. RIP

Yeah me too. I thought Ms. White would get to 100 & Queen Elizabeth, liker her mother 102. Sisters Olivia De Havilland lived to 104 & her sister Joan Fontaine 96 lived to a combined age of 200 years old.

@@lindasue4237 Very nicely said.

I felt exactly the same. Eternity Queens - one Queen of the UK and one Queen of comedy and show business. I can't believe they are gone. RIP Ladies!

No one could replace Carson. Don’t even try. New guys just have to do it their own way.

And their way misses the mark.

We may be older, but we also stayed up late to enrich our minds and hearts with late night. I don't like any of them now. Too crass. Too loud. Too much kissing tushes. David Letterman had man good interviews, as did Conan. But Johnny and Tom were great. I liked Arsenio as a young person. He was hip.

Carson didn't have competition at the same hour because the other networks didn't try and well they shouldn't. There was only one other person on television that I have witnessed with the same skill to draw out the best in a guest (Sports Anchor Bob Lobell). Betty was extremely talented - she also knew that she "had the floor" for these few minutes. BECAUSE Carson owned late night, he didn't care so much about keeping ratings from others. I believe that Johnny had quite a bit of control over who would be on his show next whereas today; the Producer is being directed by the parent corporation that a product (movie, TV show) also owned by the corporation needs to be promoted. Guests come on when their movie is being released and "oh by the way, we have a clip". There was of course; some of that on Carson but it WAS a different time. President R.R. is responsible for all the media consolidation possible under the powers of the Executive Branch. Just a few years later, the rest of the nails hammered home the corporate dominance. It was called the Telecommunications Act, it was wholly written and approved by Republicans in the Legislature and rather than Veto it so (R)'s would OWN it, Billy Clinton signed it. The result is that now; late night is a product, a vehicle to promote other products and so, the ability of the hosts to wrestle back some of what Carson did is up to them in the fewer minutes of freedom they are given. I DO think that Jimmy Kimmel is as unconcerned about his job as Carson was and so, he hands over the reigns to other very capable (at least temporarily anyway) guest hosts. Kimmel IS a very clever person and so, may continue to grow in the role. Later on NBC, Seth Meyers has "A Closer Look" (it's on KZfaq as well) that's always well worth watching plus I think that that hour allows him some of the freedom that Carson had. Jon Stewart of "the Daily Show" used to host 20 minutes of a simply unbeatable Show where most often; a politician would debate themselves using video of them on both sides of any issue. Stewart was terrible at interviews however so it was only worthwhile to catch "Your Moment of Zen" just before the Credits rolled. Ironically, Jon is on KZfaq and not doing what he and his former Staff did best but INTERVIEWING.... I've watched a handful. Last, I will mention Stephen Colbert who graduated from "the Daily Show" onto his own Show and then the corporate mother ship put him in Letterman's CBS slot. Colbert had been a muckraker and tried doing that a couple of times on the Mother Ship where he was promptly given the rest of the week off to compare his salary with his mortgage payment. I'll leave you all with an actual quote from CBS CEO Leslie Moonves on Donald Trump: _“It May Not Be Good for America, but It’s Damn Good for CBS”._ So _"YEAH, Colbert and others. Cash in on the controversy if you like"_ but if you were paying attention as I did, you would have noticed who was called "popular" every day on all of them and who was equally popular but completely ignored until the Superdelegates could do THEIR Thang and we were left with "popular" versus not, instead of the 2 most popular choices - and only one of them with the kind of record that the other one adopted for his campaign speeches (only).

@@JNMKloverArsenio was horrible. Unfunny and a kiss ass to rival today’s talk show hosts.

I truly thought Betty would make it to her 100th. I remember Dec 17, 2021 & I thought one more month. Alas she couldn't wait to get to embrace her beloved Allen.

Yes, truly the secret to his success. If need be, he would be a little more talkative with a guest that wasn't so much. And before you knew it, they would find their comfort zone and it would be a great conversation.

You are so right. When Jay Leno took over I was horrified, and saddened, that he never let the guests go off on a tangent, or even respond properly to anything--he interrupted with wisecracks continually. Jay Leno made the most interesting person look boring. Johnny Carson made the more boring person interesting, and he made interesting people incredible.

@@velveetafromage Yeah, I was thinking of Leno when I made that comment, so cheers!

Best of all, he never brought up politics. You had no idea what his opinions were.

And Betty was the consummate guest.

She was

@@haroldelrod8515 It was ribbing.

Her Sue Ann Nivens character on MTM would do just that to Mary. Gently condescending while smiling the whole time😂

That’s for sure. 😅 So funny that she kept it up, too, and with that great smile. Johnny would think twice about his roasts after this.

In the Netherlands we know her very well!

That's not big for the 80s. Look at the gal next to her.

Don't forget Blue Ball. As your neighbor in Ohio, I always stopped at Snow Shoe on my way to the east coast.

It's a good thing Betty didn't know about Hookerville, or that interview would have gone completely off the rails😂

The "Joan, Joanne, Joan" thing really got him, he knew he couldn't say a word for fear of some kind of lawsuit hahaha

They were awesome 👌 Great honest heart ❤ felt humor.4 sure.

@@JohnBodoni Was it a coincidence that his first 3 wives had similar names? Jody, Joanne, Joanns......thr last one wasn't even close, Alexis

Nah, Carol Burnett takes my vote.

Ah yes wen she fed er husband to the alligator. Pretty good movie.

If you watch Ms. White when she plays Rose, her facial nuances are spectacular she does so many in a fraction of time.

That's a Fact !

Stacy, I love her more. Been loving her for Sixty plus years. I'm 64 years old now. My Mom told me a few years ago, that everytime Betty White's name was mentioned on TV I came running to see her. She was my idol. I @ 3 years old was in love with her....RIP....Mommy , & you too Betty...One of these days I'll get to meet Betty White & see my Mom again. LOVE you both....🥲😪😇

@@marvinalancornell8275 I’m 62 and I didn’t know that she existed until the Mary Tyler Moore show. She was so hilarious as Sue Ann Nivens
