Betty White’s Invisible Hula Hooping on TODAY
May 16, 2012 : Filed in Entertainment, Television
When Betty White shows up on the set of NBC’s TODAY, America’s No. 1 morning news program, Kathie Lee and Hoda are talking about America’s Got Talent on a “dreary booze day Tuesday” and they end up talking Betty into judging a talent competition between the two of them. The twist is that it is a boozy talent competition where they both try to show off what they can do – while drinking. Wait a minute, isn’t this a morning show? Anyway, Kathie Lee attempts to hula hoop and even though she’s previously proven her hooping prowess she doesn’t do well at all with a glass of wine in her hand. Then Hoda follows suit by attempting to spin a basketball on her finger while sipping from her glass of wine – and fails as well. Neither of them are successful in the slightest prompting Betty White to call the competition a draw and then she demonstrates for everyone her invisible hula hoop hip moving action. When Kathie Lee tries to get Betty inside a hoop to show her how it is really done Betty explains, “I never do it in a hoop.” Betty is 90-years-old and the segment with her starts at the 4:00 minute mark.
