Watch Betty White Get A Standing Ovation At The People’s Choice Awards

 

TV Land’s Hot In Cleveland picked up the People’s Choice Award for “Favorite TV Comedy” on Wednesday night, but it was 89 year-old Betty White who stole the show, getting two separate raucous ovations when she popped up on stage.

After blowing a kiss to the crowd, White accused co-star Wendie Malick of drinking (Malick made a crack about the win, “being so encouraging to a bunch of fresh-faced newcomers like us.”) Jane Leeves then wished White a happy 90th birthday (it’s Jan. 19) and the crowd went nuts again, giving her a sustained, scream-filled standing ovation.

“Thank you with all my heart,” White said, “but you don’t really accomplish anything… 90 just happens! I didn’t do anything.”
