After Ruth Gordon hosted in Season 2 (and she was great), there wasn't another female host over the age of 65 until Betty last weekend (with the exception of "Anyone Can Host" winner Miskel Spillman). Old ladies are so not the SNL demographic.Tom Nawrockihttp://www.debris-slide.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-461510719135754735.post-65619077388995322692010-05-13T15:08:35.614-04:002010-05-13T15:08:35.614-04:00Found the EW article--BW doesn't actually say ...Found the EW article--BW doesn't actually say whether she had been invited before, just that she was going to turn down this offer (but her agent threatened to quit if she did).

She totally played second fiddle to Tony Randall and Jack Klugman!!!
