If 2016 taught us nothing else, it is to fully appreciate our national treasures -- and there isn't one more valuable than Miss Betty White. I grew up loving Betty as Sue Ann Nivens, WJM's "Happy Homemaker," on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (video below has some of her finest moments!) and via countless game-show appearances -- fans of a certain age will remember Alan Ludden of "Password" was her hubby from 1963 until his death in 1981) -- only to see her become an even bigger star on "The Golden Girls."
Still, it wasn't until "Hot in Cleveland" that I fully appreciated just how talented this woman is -- I don't think I was alone as the whole Betty White Should Host "Saturday Night Live" campaign around the same time -- with just the slightest raise of a brow sending me into stitches. I don't think I'm overstating things to say our lives would be far less fun without her in it. Happy birthday, Betty -- and many, many more. xo
UPDATE: Katie Couric caught up with Betty and she's as sassy as ever!

The image of Phyllis and SueAnn is priceless. It is possibly my favorite scene from the Mary Tyler Moore show.
