Before Alex Trebek passed away, he teased that he wanted Betty White to take over for him on Jeopardy! and while she’s not on the current line-up of interim hosts, it’s certainly a testament to how loved she is by all. Recently, White shared with ET, “You probably didn’t ask, but I’ll tell you anyway. What am I doing for my birthday? Running a mile each morning has been curtailed by COVID, so I am working on getting The Pet Set re-release, and feeding the two ducks who come to visit me every day.”

A Little History

What do Judy Garland, Veronica Lake, and Jack Kerouac have in common? All born in 1922 just like Betty White, who turns 99 today. Happy 99th, Betty White.
