How Much More Money Can NBC Make Off of Betty White?

This morning, NBC announced that it plans on taking advantage of the same social networking tool that swept Betty White into Studio 8H and helped rally over 12 million people into actually watching Saturday Night Live this weekend. The network’s Facebook-compatible program, Fan It, will reward NBC viewers for talking online to their friends about NBC shows with NBC merchandise. Interested, I clicked over to NBC’ s web store just to see if there was any swag that could possibly sway me into enlisting in NBC’ s incestuous PR machine. And there it was, right next to the Biggest Loser Bath Scale ($40) and the Heroes Helix Symbol Pendant Necklace ($15): proof that NBC is still exploiting Betty White.

SNL’s Kenan Thompson on Tough Accents, New Sketches, and His Dream Guest Host

The Saturday Night Live process can take a lot out of a person, as Movieline found out last week while speaking with Kenan Thompson in between rehearsals for the now legendary Betty White episode . In fact, the actor — whose skilled impressions (Al Roker, Whoopi, Tiger Woods) and inventive characters (Deandre Cole, Jean K. Jean) have made him the hardest-working male cast member this season — was so busy writing and rehearsing that he had no idea that Alec Baldwin had been confirmed as the season’s finale host. In spite of Kenan’s grueling schedule, he still found the energy to tell Movieline about the sketch he is dying to get on the air and the actors he would love to see host the show next season.
