Betty White is putting the rest of us to shame. The woman is almost ninety years old and her career is hotter than ever! Starring in TV Land's first original sitcom, Hot in Cleveland, which is about to enter its third season isn't enough for her. She is also writing two new books simultaneously and taking roles in comedic films, as well, currently recording a voice for the new animated feature The Lorax. But now she is also heading to NBC to executive produce and host a new hidden-camera reality show that is tentatively titled Betty White's Off Their Rockers.
Hear more from Betty White in our on-the-set interview here.
The series is based on a European format and will follow several individual senior citizens as they play pranks on unsuspecting younger generations. After all, who looks more sweet and innocent than an elderly woman with a wad of tissues up her sleeve, right? Think Punk'd but with more of an America's Funniest Home Videos feel.
Why take this on now? Well, White told us once before she has a hard time saying no, especially when asked nicely-- and repeatedly-- so it seems NBC just made the deal too sweet to be resisted. Besides, she has had a great working relationship with them in the past, even earning her most recent Emmy for her appearance on Saturday Night Live.
