fey and amy poehler i mean, forever in her debt. i think the golden girls had a big influence on people in comedy a whole generation of people in comedy. not just women but a lot of women were inspired to get into comedy. i heard that firsthand. it was breaking boundaries having women as the stars destroying utterly this ridiculous trope that women aren t funny, which is ridiculous, as liz would tell new a second. i think for others tina and amy celebrating her 90th birthday, i was watching those clips on line before we came on. the insearity, what she did, touching them, telling them you can do this, you can achieve this, don t give up on your dreams. there is a funny thing where tina is celebrating her birthday. it was funny and also a little racy. that s what betty white would do in her comedy.
charmy. she was nice without being saccharin. i have never heard a person infer my life, young, old, no matter who they are, say a they gotive thing about betty white. i mean, the news of her passing, it is blowing up yourin phone, my phone, i have no business for this to blow up my phone. right. 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 whiles just feels like, liz, just the most horrible fitting ending to a horrible year. it is. and i have to tell you, i am doing every year, i do a year and review stand-up show that i am 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 grandmother is dead. like, it is i don t in fact, if you didn t like betty white, i think that is the
to say, #belikebetty. when her husband died, she said she was not going to remarry again. she had already found the best. and in talking about her passing, her agent told people that i don t think betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband, alan luden. she believed she would be with him again. here s hoping for that. you know, watch find old password episodes, something that probably people won t say a lot, but he was the host of password and their chemistry on that show, there was a lot of double entendre and fun. we saw a short clip of that in the obituary we aired where she asked him to take her home. it was very charming, very charming. yep. liz, thank you. betty white, dead at the age of 99. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete balanced nutrition for strength and energy. woo hoo!
awards for her work on television. but she was also a star on the big screen as well. with roles in a number of movies including 2009 s the proposal . bethy white was also beloved for her work with animals spending decades with the morris animal foundation and with the los angeles zoo. when president biden learned of her death today he called her a of loly lady, an incredible person. back with us, liz winsted, cocreator of the daily show. going through her biography, it is lard to overstate all she has accomplished. as we said before she went to commercial break, she was approached to be one of the first hosts of the today show back in the 60s. barbara walters got that job instead. she was one of the first women to produce a television show. it was called live with elizabeth. and it stars herself. that was 1954. so a long time ago. she wanted to initially be a
mary tyler moore show and on. i love when you look back at her life, she was game for anything. like liz was saying. you have seen her on game shows, late night talk shows, having things thrown at her. she didn t care, she was there to make people laugh and bring joy to americans. i hope that s what people take away. 99, god bless you, she lived that long, and entertained generations of people. i am 38 and i cannot stay up until 1:00 on any given night, it might be because i have screaming children. but we are talking about all that she gave us. and she gave us so men comedies, so many shows and radio shows and movies and one liners and interviews. i mean, it s just so hard to point to one thing when you are talking about betty white, just one of her most memory lines because there are so many out there. but, dean, the fact that she gave us or helped give us tina
