Line 12:
* White's career since the end of ''The Golden Girls'' in 1992 has been playing against her image as Rose. Thus, when she shows up today, expect her to be a [[Racist Grandma]] or some other subversion of Rose's affable ditziness.
 
White has undergone something of a late-career renaissance in the last year or so. In 2009, she had a supporting role in the successful romantic comedy ''[[The Proposal]]'' starring [[Sandra Bullock]]. She appeared in a famous Snickers ad for the 2010 Super Bowl (which also happened to include [[Abe Vigoda]]), which inspired an originally semi-ironic [[Facebook]] campaign to get her to host the long-running sketch show ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' during Season 35. The campaign was a big hit, and Lorne Michaels brought her on the show, making White the oldest host in the show's history at age 88 and a half (and beat out the only non-celebrity host — Miskel Spillman, who was 80 at the time, helmed the 1977 Christmas show after winning the "Anyone Can Host" contest in Season 3). She also had numerous high-profile guest appearances, like a recurring professor on ''[[Community]]'', and received the Screen Actors Guild's Life Achievement Award in 2010. SheIn recentlythe early 2010s, she contributed to [[TV Land]]'s [[Network Decay]] by starring in ''[[Hot in Cleveland]]'', although that's hardly a bad thing. In 2012, she began hosting a new prank show on NBC, ''Betty White's Off Their Rockers'', featuring old people pranking youngsters. She showed off her voice acting chops in 2019, with a role in ''[[Toy Story]] 4''.
 
She has her own clothing line, and t-shirts with her face on them are,have at the moment,been [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff|huge in Tokyo]].
