Background
Betty White had been asked to host Saturday Nigh Live by producer Lorne Michaels three times between the 1970s and 1990s, but White rejected the offers. Michaels said, "After three rejections, I stopped asking".

White saw a career resurgence beginning in 2009, following a supporting role in the hit romantic comedy The Proposal and appearing in a popular Snickers commercial that aired during Super Bowl XLIV in February 2010. In late 2009, a fan started an online campaign on Facebook to get White to host Saturday Night Live. The group, named Betty White to Host SNL (please?), was inspired by an episode of The Golden Girls where White's character Rose Nylund recites the show's catchphrase, "Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night." The group grew to over 40,000 members after it was mentioned in an article in USA Today. After learning of the campaign, White was initially uninterested in hosting the show, but her agent convinced her to do it. The group had amassed nearly 500,000 members by March 11, 2010, when it was announced that White would host the show. White, at age 88, became the oldest person ever to host the show, surpassing Miskel Spillman, the winner of SNL's "Anyone Can Host" contest in 1977.

Viewership
The episode averaged an 8.8 household rating and 21 share, the show's highest viewership in 18 months.

Contemporary
Entertainment Weekly 's review of the episode called the episode "funny, vulgar, and totally charming," and said, "While there’s a lot of adoration out there for White, there’s also a certain percentage of condescension to the fulsomeness, including within the media covering White. Over the past few weeks, the elements of 'isn’t she cute?' and 'aren’t we nice to be lavishing our love on an old person?' that account for some of White-mania had gotten irritating. Thankfully, these qualities didn’t emanate from the SNL cast last night... White surpassed so many of the past months’ SNL hosts by proving there’s no substitute for time-honed skills and professionalism." The A.V. Club's review said, "It wasn’t perfect but it lived up to some very high expectations and left me feeling good about the world." NPR's review said, "all in all, this was a good episode. It really was nice to see all those talented women back again, doing some of their signature characters". Vulture's review said, "the 88-year-old was crude, crass, and damn funny in what was the best episode of this nearly over SNL season."

The episode holds a 8.9 rating on IMDb, making it the highest rated episode of the series. White won the 2010 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for the episode.
