America's sweetheart of comedy, Betty White turned 91 in January and in her honor, NBC aired a special gala celebration on Tuesday, Betty White's Second Annual 90th Birthday Special.
Some of those who paid tribute to White were Bill Cosby, Whoopi Goldberg, Vicki Lawrence, Blake Shelton, Sarah Silverman, and Lily Tomlin. Talk show host Larry King dropped by with a parody version of an "exclusive" interview with White that brought about tons of laughs. Former President Bill Clinton also joked, endorsing Betty White's nomination for U.S. President.
"In a time when our nation is still bitterly divided, it's important to have a leader who's won the respect and affection of our nation in the way that Betty has," said Clinton. "After all, she's gained praise all the way from President Obama to George Dubya. Of course I'm talking about Presidents Barack Obama and George Washington."
It's often said that laughter is the key to a long life. It seems like Betty White dedicated her entire life to teaching us just that. White certainly hasn't lost her sense of humor during the special as she said, "Now that I'm 91, as opposed to being 90, I'm much wiser. I'm much more aware and I'm much sexier."
White also spoke about some of the perks that comes along with being more matured: "Best thing about being in your 90s is you're spoiled rotten. Everybody spoils you like mad and they treat you with such respect because you're old. Little do they know, you haven't changed. You're not 90 in here [the mind]. You're just 90 every place else."
Betty White seems to love what she does and her career is quite extensive and impressive. She's well known for her starring roles on the hit sitcoms Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Carol Burnett Show, Mama's Family and Golden Girls. She currently stars in the hit TV Land sitcom, with co-stars Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and Wendy Malick. White also has her own comedy show on NBC, which shows senior playing outrageous pranks on people. The hit show called Betty White's Off Their Rockers returns to NBC on Feb. 12 at 8p.m. for a second season.
