Betty White To Do Elderly Version of ‘Punk’d’

Betty White; you simply have to love this woman.

She is turning 90 this month, and NBC is planning a 90 minute birthday celebration to air January 16th. And the veteran actress has some new projects in the works. (On top of her continuing role in 'Hot In Cleveland'.)

She is working on an elderly-version of 'Punk'd'.

It’s a seniors’ prankster type of show called ‘Betty White’s Off Their Rockers’.

White has recruited a crew of seniors to do the hidden camera pranks on regular folks. (She won’t do any of the pranking herself, as she’d be too easily recognized.) NBC will air a sneak preview of the show after the birthday special they’re planning. Then the show will return in the spring with 12 more episodes.

White was her usual randy self at a Friday press session. Are there two or three other things you’ve always wanted to do, a reporter asked: “I’m not going to say Robert Redford, as much

as you want to hear it,” she said. And how does she keep so busy at her ripe age? Her longtime agent, who convinced her to host Saturday Night Live last season. “If he brings me stuff, I say yes,” she says. Pause. “If I don’t, he beats me.”
