Betty White made her much-anticipated appearance on SNL last night, and by all accounts she stole the show, with a little help from the ladies. Whoever said there are no second acts in American lives, or that there are no Hollywood roles for women over 30 clearly never took Betty into account. In case you missed any of last night’s SNL appearance — the f**king digital short, White ‘bluffin with her muffin, the Facebook vitriol — we’ve collected all of them for you here. Click through for video clips.

SNL: Betty White Meets The Census-Taker, And Hat-Tips Christopher Walken: The final sketch of the night, “Census Taker” in which Tina Fey calls on Betty White at home to get her census information, only to be befuddled by her responses.

Betty White Goes Hardcore For Digital Short: “Happy Mother’s Day, Motherf****rs”: What began as a heartwarming collaboration of all Saturday Night Live current cast members and returning female all-stars paying tribute to White by singing “Thank You For Being A Friend,” then took a very dark, sadomasochistic turn.

SNL: Betty White Is Bluffin’ With Her Muffin: “If there’s one thing I’m known for, it’s my muffin.”

Betty White Blasts Facebook, Thanks Fans In SNL Monologue: Betty White kicked off her long-anticipated Saturday Night Live hosting gig by addressing the Facebook movement that brought her to the show in the first place.

Really! SNL’s “Weekend Update” Reunion With Seth, Amy & Tina: Tonight’s all-star SNL featured a favorite “Weekend Update” staple — and reunited three of Update’s favorite anchors. “‘Really!’ with Seth & Amy” morphed into “‘Really! With Seth, Amy & Tina.”

SNL’s Deleted Scenes: Debbie Downer, Bronx Beat and the Times Square Bomber: Cut from the dress rehearsal, these web-only sketches are still pretty funny — especially the return of Debbie Downer (with awesome cameo by Betty White).

SNL’s Leading Ladies Warm Up The Cold Open: The returning cast members and Betty White sing pretty on The Lawrence Welk Show, and try not to be repulsed by Kristen Wiig.

Best episode of the season all because Betty White Rocks!Consumate Pro,you could just see that all night.100% on top of her game,she may be 88 (and a half) but she can act the rest of those chicks under the table.Plus the other thing you could see was she’s a really sweet totally genuine person,no Hollywood fakeness there.

Betty White should be the role model for young female Hollywood.

Ms. White’s overwhelming adorableness made the most of what was, like everything else this season, a painfully mediocre show. You couldn’t help but smile every time she was onstage, but I’m a little disappointed that they went the whole, “let’s make her say something dirty” route with every sketch. That schtick is getting kind of old (no pun intended), and they should have allowed Betty to do some things where a dirty word/sexual innuendo/bitchy comment wasn’t the punchline. All in all though, SNL was raised from its usual C- territory to a solid B+ simply by the charm of the amazing Ms. White.

Soil the thread? I think Karl is spot-on here. It was their best show of the year by sheer virtue of Betty’s presence, but so much potential went untapped.

Not to deny the comedy potential of Betty White saying outrageous things, but true epic comedy was easily within their reach — instead, they chose to shoehorn her into yet another awful “outrageous-fake-TV-talk-show” skit (the Dominican one), and shoehorned her into another Lawrence Welk/”Denise” skit, and shoehorned her into MacGruber skits. Rather than custom-fit their show around their epic guest, they took their typical, lazier reverse approach.

Even if they didn’t want to break out of their current funk of doing virtually nothing but TV show parodies (which, to their credit, four skits tonight were not – beating their season record by 2), they could’ve drawn from her past (Match Game, Password, Golden Girls come to mind). Or just have her beat the crap out of Gilly.
