Former member of “Saturday Night Live” and comedian, Seth Meyers, remembers Betty White as the humorous lady she was.
RIP Betty White, the only SNL host I ever saw get a standing ovation at the after party. A party at which she ordered a vodka and a hotdog and stayed til the bitter end.

– She was the only SNL host I have ever seen few standing ovations at the afterparty. A party where she ordered a vodka and a sausage, and stayed until the bitter end.
For her former co-star, Ryan Reynolds, sees the world differently without her, and remembers her as a lady who defied the promises.
The world looks different now. She was great at defying expectation. She managed to grow very old and somehow, not old enough. We’ll miss you, Betty. Now you know the secret. pic.twitter.com/uevwerjobS
