GSN to Air Betty White ‘Match Game’ Marathon Ahead of ‘SNL’

Net schedules seven hours of 88-year-old’s appearances before she hosts “Saturday Night Live”

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

Betty White is white hot right now, and television executives are tripping over themselves to bottle some of the 88-year-old’s heat.

Ahead of White’s much-anticipated appearance as host of “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, GSN said on Thursday it will air a “Best of Betty White Match Game” marathon.
 
The seven-hour, 14-episode block will “spotlight the brilliant comedic timing” and “clever ad libs” White exhibited on the show between 1974 and 1977.

And, according to GSN, this:

· Betty demonstrates exotic dancing.
· Betty answers the question, “Every time I go streaking, Allen Ludden makes me wear his [BLANK].”
· The stars throw an ice cube that lands in Betty’s blouse—and all the men volunteer to retrieve it.

The marathon will run from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday.

[Editor’s note: Joe Adalian is off this week.]
