Who doesn’t love the characters Sue Ann Nivens and Elke Ostrovsky and the woman who brought them to life, Betty White? Half the fun of watching game shows in the 70s was anticipation of White’s snarky or slightly risque banter.

This podcast episode examines Betty White’s (b. 1922 — ) approach to success, longevity and being a comic genius role model for women. Her career spans every decade in existence and with each role in TV comedy, Betty White broke new ground. Laughter knows no age, so listeners will also learn how White’s confidence in her comedy and timing has changed through the years.
