Entertainment Weekly reports that SNL might soon do a "Women of Comedy" special that would star White alongside younger female luminaries like Molly Shannon, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Sure, the 88-year-old actress wouldn't actually be hosting a 90-minute episode all by her lonesome, but it's still a chance for the show to honor her decades of comedic performance on shows like The Golden Girls and Boston Legal.

The Facebook page was started by fan David Mathews on December 29, 2009. As we're writing this piece, it now has 426,734 fans — 84,141 more than it had when we first wrote about it five days ago.

White wasn't involved with setting up the page, but when the L.A. Times contacted her about it, she implied that she'd be willing to host if offered the gig.
