Betty White's 90th Birthday: NBC Tribute, Zachary Levi Makeout

This had to be the raddest 90th birthday party ever.

Betty White, that indomitable spirit, celebrated her ninth decade at a star-studded blowout thrown for her by NBC. The party featured performances and appearances by Tina Fey, Morgan Freeman, Ellen DeGeneres, Seth Meyers, Joel McHale, Tracy Morgan and Mary Tyler Moore, amongst others.

Of course, NBC wasn't just throwing the party for the fun of it. They'll also be broadcasting the shindig. The special, called "Betty White's 90th Birthday: A Tribute to America's Golden Girl," will air on January 16th at 8pm. And we can only hope they broadcast Zachary Levi's interaction with the Golden Girl.

"Soooooo, I may have just made out with Betty White. This is not a joke. #bucketlist" he wrote on Twitter Sunday night.

Still, despite the kisses and the fact that she got to sit on a throne and take in her adoring friends and admirers, White doesn't think she quite deserves all the hubbub.

"Don't give me any credit," she told reporters over the weekend. "I didn't do anything to get to be 90. It just happened. I didn't accomplish anything. It just came up on me."

You always look like you are ready to burst out into laughter. Thank you also for your work with animals. You are a perfect gem.

Heard Betty say she has great health and no meds. I wonder if that's the explanation for her youthful senior years. (less time with the medical profession)

I love her! I cannot believe she is 90! I wonder how old her parents lived to be?
Looking forward to the show.
Happy Birthday Betty!

Someone asked if anyone remembers the Mary Tyler Moore Show! LOL
That was half way through Betty's career!!!
When I was about 6 (I'm now 66) we had the first TV in our neighborhood. Betty was on then! She was hilarious! I've been watching and laughing and loving her since!
She's a true gem in any number of ways.
Thank you, Betty!!!

Yup I remember her from the early 50's on TV she had her own show also. She is indeed one of our countries and the worlds "treasures", Funny and sexy when she was young(er), and totally hilarious as "SueAnn Nivens" on MTM. as a nymphomaianc "Martha Stewart type" LOL When I see a show with her name as one of the characters I make sure I watch it.
Happy Birthday dear Betty....may you live to be 100 and more. God Bless.

A great lady, a true comedic actor, a caring animal lover, and a sharp intelligence. "You can lead a herring to water, or you'll have to walk real fast or it'll die". Ah! St Olaf's wit and wisdom, and you did it all so beautifully. Cheers.
