It was Betty White's night on Saturday Night Live as the beloved comedian made her much anticipated hosting debut, appearing in every sketch and challenging Alec Baldwin's Schweddy Balls for double-entendre naughtiness.
Who will join Alec Baldwin on Saturday Night Live season finale?
Resurrecting NPR's "Delicious Dish" with Molly Shannon and Ana Gasteyer, White dropped by as baker Florence Dusty to show off her signature muffins. "My muffin hasn't had a cherry since 1939," White deadpanned.

Watch the monologue:
Playing off White's trademark charming and bawdy sense of humor, many of the sketches featured the 88-year-old saying something totally inappropriate, such as when she threatened a trio of teen criminals with a visit to "The Wizard of Ass" in a "Scared Straight" spoof.
Watch the sketch:
There were no Password, Mary Tyler Moore Show or Golden Girls spoofs — except for a "Digital Short" that started out sweet with the cast — and returning alums Shannon, Gasteyer, Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch, Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph — serenading White with "Thank You for Being a Friend" and ended with White's blood-spewing death-metal version of the song. White, who got her Horatio Caine on in a CSI: Sarasota parody set in a retirement home, appeared in all three MacGruber skits as the inept agent's grandmother, to whom he ultimately proposes.
