i don t know the rules of washington but i feel like she should be lying in state to say good-bye to her. she s try good for that. don t drag her into politics. she s too good for that. you re right. let s have her lying somewhere more appropriate for her amazingness than state. obviously, i m joking. where could she i can t imagine a place that deserves her. the walk of fame doesn t really fit. i m trying to think. i don t know. we ll have to build our own spectacular monument where she can exist in her exceptional beyond what we have. liz, i ll ask you to stick around. we want to sneak in another quick break. we re celebrating the life of betty white dead at the age of 99. f betty white dead at the age of 99
age of 99. we re celebrating her life here. let s bring in liz mcneil that just wrote this cover story for betty white turning 100. talk to me about what she told you. hi, you know, it was just so wonderful that she participated and i think her sense of humor really came through and one thing i noticed is the funnier questions were the things she responded to about i asked her would you ever drink green juice or something like that and that s when she said i don t touch anything green. so it was just wonderful to celebrate her. her secret to longevity is not touching anything green. that and her hobby being vodka, which she told david letterman a few years ago. she was very, very funny.
don t know, we don t have the same longevity. she was nice without bing saccharin. i have never heard a person in my life, young, old, no matter who they are say a negative thing about betty white. i mean, the news of her passing is blowing up your phone and blowing up my phone and i have no business for this to blow up my phone. twitter is going nuts. people were screaming at me for not reporting it as quickly as other networks. we were trying to get it confirmed. the passing of betty white feels like, liz, just the most horrible fitting ending to a horrible year. it is. i have to tell you, i m doing every year, i do a year in review standup show i m doing tonight and i was like, mother of god, are you kidding me? i have to hit the stage tonight and open with your beloved
didn t appreciate feel appreciated because she was in the room. she set the example for a lot of people on how to be in situations. embrace her, embrace her comedy. be like betty is what i m trying to be. she said when her husband died, she said she had found the best. in talking about her passing, her agent told people, i don t think betty feared passing because she wanted to be with her most beloved husband. she believed she would be with him again. here is hoping to that. liz, thank you so much. find old password episodes, something that people won t say a lot. he was the host of password. that was her husband. their chemistry, it was fun. we saw a short clip in the obituary we aired where she asked him to take her home. it was very charming.
