This past Saturday night, May 8, Betty White proved that comedy never retires.

For those who have been living under a rock for the past few weeks, White was placed on Saturday Night Live due to a fan campaign on Facebook, begging for the 88 and a half year-old actress to host the late night comedy show. Though White has already been known as a humorous gal (due to her fame via “The Golden Girls”,) this show had me laughing harder than I would have ever imagined. Even though half the time I was worried that she might forget her lines or twist an ankle, the truth is that the woman is too talented for minor slip-ups, even in her old age: she performed almost flawlessly in every single sketch and, may I say, to a T.

Though SNL’s season finale is set for this Saturday, May 15 (with Alec Baldwin hosting for what feels like the hundredth time,) I’m not sure how they plan on topping Betty’s unforgettable performance. If SNL could crank out a few more of episodes of this quality, they wouldn’t have to worry about ratings ever again.

To catch up on the sketches, check out the clips on SNL’s webpage. Here’s a quick peek at what you missed:
