Betty White Proposes To Craig Ferguson On 'Late Late Show' (VIDEO)


First Posted: 02/15/2012 7:00 am Updated: 02/15/2012 9:56 am

Betty White may be 90 years old, but she hasn't given up on the idea of marrying again (albeit for money).

Feeling amorous, she took "Late Late Show" (Weeknights, 12:37 a.m. on CBS) host Craig Ferguson by surprise on Valentine's Day.

White asked Ferguson to marry her with a truly sincere-sounding proposal. He reluctantly turned her down, pointing out that he's happily married, but that didn't deter Betty. "We've all got weird baggage. ... You know we're compatible in the bedroom," she joked.

Ferguson then suggested she ask Jimmy Fallon to marry her instead, but Betty had already been there and done that. "Did you really think you were my first choice?" she asked.

Having rebuffed Betty's advances, Ferguson then asked if he could keep the candy she'd given him. To which the legendary comedienne replied, "Of course you can, you candy-a**," before tipping the candy all over his desk.

"Late Late Show" airs Weeknights at 12:37 a.m. on CBS.

My mom absolutey LOVES her. I watched her on a recent episode of Million Dollar Password. Her brain is as sharp as ever.

Long live Betty.

She's a terrific woman. For all of the salacious and lascivious acts that she puts out there and the persona that she's cultivated throughout the years there was, and still is, only one love of her life and that was the late Allen Ludden. I want her to stick around for a long time but I know that when she does go she'll be reunited with her great love. One more thing, she'll be surrounded with all of the pets she's has had and loved almost as much as Allen.

Ugh, I don't understand the American love affair with those British accent ads: "Introducing Simpoo..."

She is one of a kind and I plan on enjoying her while we have her!

I've always loved Betty, she is a great comedian and person, but I do wish she would quit trying to be 'sexy'. At her age, she is the lovable Grandmother to have fun with, but not go to bed with.

I agree, she overdoes the sexual humor, but I don't really think she's trying to be sexy. Because of her age, she probably sees the absurdity of her advances as comical, which they often are.

Yeah, agreed. That's why it's called humor--went right over, Patriot28, slanty-forehead, though. ;D

God said she is still needed down here...and I'm still enjoying her.
