Betty White recalled the moment when she was nicknamed "the first lady of television" by a beloved fan, and she was thrilled when she first heard it. But then she understood what it meant: "And then I heard her talking to her daughter a little later, and she said," First lady, she's so old. She was the first to come back. "

It was a joke, of course, one of the many whites made Monday at the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards, celebrated with a standing ovation and an appreciation of love and love.

It was a proper celebration of a 96 year old woman, but still working. White, known for his roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Golden Girls and Hot in Cleveland, has eight Emmy Awards, making it its real show-biz royalty.

White was utterly stupid and sentimental during his moment in the spotlight on the Microsoft Theater scene. After the introductory ovation, she pretended to leave the scene saying, "I'm going to stop while I'm ahead."

But she stayed and pondered how wonderful it was to continue working in the environment that she loved.

"It's amazing that I'm still in this business and you still support me … It's amazing that you can stay in a career for so long and always have people with you. I wish they did that at home. "

She gave a special shout to Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels. "I thought the biggest and most exciting evening I had – I'm talking to Lorne Michaels now – was the night he gave me an honor. But my boy, you got caught tonight, Lorne.

White later added that she wanted to "thank Lorne Michaels not only for tonight, but for all the wonderful things he has done with me".
