'08
Former Golden Girl Betty White, 86, was on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson yesterday and her interview made me laugh out loud several times. Her lines were scripted jokes, but she delivered them so well it hardly mattered. I was pretty surprised when I looked up her age for this article, because I assumed she was in her 70s. She looks great and she still has very good comic timing.
White brought out a bunch of receipts in a shoe box and told Ferguson she wanted to get her taxes done before the deadline. Ferguson asked “What about the interview?”
White said “What does it matter? You usually just talk about yourself. It’s ‘Blah Blah I’m so funny. Blah blah I had a penis enlargement.’”
Ferguson told her he had a problem with her doing her taxes on the show, and she said “Do you want me to get audited by the IRS? I don’t want them taking me up in their ship and shoving all kinds of weird probes in me.”
Ferguson asked “Is there anyway I can help you get this all finished?”
“What would you know about taxes? You’re an illegal immigrant… To me you’ll always be ‘Craig Ferguson, the dirty French bastard.’”
“Betty, you don’t have to be stressed about your taxes, I got an extension.”
“There you go again about your penis enlargement.”
Craig said they better wrap it up, and Betty asked if she could plug something before she left.
Craig said she’s going to film a Disney movie called The Proposal with Sandra Bullock, and she said that’s true, but “actually I wanted to plug that Will Smith movie, Bad Boys, it’s playing on Showtime right now. And it’s a hell of a lot better than this crap fest.”
“He’s great Will Smith, isn’t he?”
“Yes he is. I’ve never had him.”
Here’s the interview, thanks to monkeyboy on Redlasso.
Betty White is shown in the header on 6/15/07 at the daytime Emmy Awards, thanks to PRPhotos.

I know fabulous is thrown about a bit but she is fabulous and fabulously funny. I want to be exactly like her when I’m 80 (and 60, and 40).

I’ve always loved her. She manages to be incredibly sweet and hysterically funny at the same time. She’s a brilliant comedian and a darling lady to boot.
