			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://satellitetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/bettywhitescreenactorsguild.jpg" alt="Screen Actors Guild Awards Arrivals" title="Betty White 2010 Screen Actors Guild Awards" width="200" height="296" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1471" />The campaign to have Betty White host SNL is raging on, with 406,756 fans signed up as of today, urging SNL to have her as a host for the show. Fresh off receiving the lifetime achievement award from the Screen Actor&#8217;s Guild award, White is busy as ever. </p>
<p>In an interview, the 88-year-old White commented on the Facebook situation. &#8220;I&#8217;m just amazed,&#8221; White said from Las Vegas, having been honored earlier that day by the Morris Animal Foundation at the P&#038;G Pet Care luncheon. &#8220;I would think by now that they&#8217;ve had such an overdose of Betty White that they&#8217;d be throwing rocks instead.&#8221;</p>
<p>ABC’s Diane Sawyer interviewed White yesterday about being the toast of social networking. White called herself a “technological spaz,” amazed at the Facebook fan club and stated “ridiculous; they just dig old ladies.” A typical Betty White comment&#8230;how can you not like her?</p>
<p><span id="more-1469"></span> </p>
<p>White is a comedic institution, with a career spanning over 65 years in the television industry. White starred in classic shows like Mary Tyler Moore and Golden Girls, showcasing her superb comic timing. More recently she had a recurring role on Boston Legal. White&#8217;s popular Super Bowl ad was one of the more successful ads featured during the Super Bowl. </p>
<p>White has won six Emmy Awards and received 18 Emmy nominations over her career, and was the first woman to receive an Emmy for game show hosting. White received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1988, the star is next to her late husband, Allen Ludden,&#8217;s star. White is the author of &#8220;Betty White&#8217;s Pet-Love: How Pets Take Care of Us&#8221; and her autobiography, &#8220;Betty White in Person&#8221;.</p>
<p>White is an animal rights activist, animal health advocate and pet enthusiast, supporting such charities as Actors and Others for Animals, Los Angeles Zoo Commission, the Morris Animal Foundation, and is a sponsor for Farm Animal Reform Movement and Friends of Animals. </p>
<p>Next up for White is a female revenge flick &#8220;You Again,&#8221; costarring Kristen Chenoweth, Sigourney Weaver, Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis and Victor Garber. The movie is set to release in September 2010.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://satellitetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ferrellmckay.jpg" alt="ferrellmckay" title="ferrellmckay" width="230" height="130" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1462" />SNL alumni Tina Fey and Will Ferrell are keeping busy this year. SNL alum Will Ferrell&#8217;s show, Funny or Die Presents, premieres at midnight this Friday, February 19th on HBO. Funny or Die Presents is a new half hour comedy series highlighting a mix of professionally created and user-generated content from Ferrell and comedy partner Adam McKay&#8217;s comedy video website. Ferrell and McKay along with HBO manage to merge TV with the internet with hilarious results.  </p>
<p>Ferrell and McKay worked together as writer and director on Saturday Night Live in the late 1990s. Later, McKay and Ferrell teamed up in comedies like Step Brothers and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.</p>
<p>Ferrell and McKay co-created Funny or Die in 2007. &#8220;The whole concept of Funny or Die&#8230;was the idea that people could have a place to put up whatever they wanted to put up with no notes and no filter,&#8221; writer-director Adam McKay said. &#8220;The TV show came out of that same spirit.&#8221;</p>
<p>Upcoming weekly shows will include videos starring Zach Galifianakis, Wayne Newton, Don Cheadle, Zooey Deschanel, John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell. </p>
<p><img src="http://satellitetvaddict.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tinafeysnlaspalin.jpg" alt="Tina Fey-Sarah Palin" title="Tina Fey-Sarah Palin" width="180" height="245" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1463" />Besides her usual gig on 30 Rock, former SNL head writer and cast member Tina Fey is set to host Saturday Night Live in April 2010. There is speculation she will reprise her famous Sarah Palin impersonation if the skit passes muster with Lorne Michaels. &#8220;It&#8217;s inevitable that we&#8217;ll try it, at least,&#8221; Fey said in an interview Tuesday. </p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll see if it makes it to air&#8221; the comedian said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. Fey&#8217;s impersonation of former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was a huge hit with viewers of SNL and during the 2008 campaign season, drawing huge ratings for the show. &#8220;It was the strangest thing that&#8217;s ever happened to me,&#8221; said Fey. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never had anything fall in my lap like that. Everything is usually me trying to convince the people of Earth that it&#8217;s OK for me to perform&#8230;that felt like the opposite.&#8221; </p>
<p>Viewers will remember Palin&#8217;s cameo on SNL appearing with Fey in October 2008. Palin stated in her book &#8220;Going Rogue&#8221; she grew up watching SNL, and would appear on the show again if asked.</p>
