88-year old actress and comedian Betty White was a hit on Saturday Night Live last night, and while her appearance may have some detractors, the vast majority of people on Twitter loved her performance. 

White's SNL appearance started with a Facebook campaign that gained a half-million supporters.  NBC and SNL paid attention and the result was the special Mother's Day Saturday Night Live show.

Rock the Casbah!
