CNN’s Piers Morgan Calls 90-Year-Old Betty White ‘The Ultimate Cougar’

CNN’s Piers Morgan had an absolutely charming interview with the recently turned 90-year-old actress Betty White.

After some humorous flirting between the two, Morgan called her “the ultimate cougar” (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):


The interview began with a famous clip from the Mary Tyler Moore Show when Betty White was kissing the fingers of Ed Asner.

When the clip ended, Morgan introduced his guest, and commented that she looked more like 30 than 90.

He then lamented that it had taken him fifteen months to get her on his program, and that to pay him back for keeping him waiting so long she should kiss his fingers like she did Ed Asner years ago.

White sexily complied leaving Morgan to comment, “Oh, my God, this is the most erotic thing that's ever happened to me.”

White replied, “You poor baby.”

“My wife's last words to me tonight before I came down here were, ‘Watch yourself with Betty White,'” Morgan confessed. “She said she's the ultimate cougar.”

“I am,” admitted White. “In my own head, not any place else, but in my head I’m the ultimate cougar.”

And still funny as ever at 90.

Other than I just don't find her as funny as the rest of America apparently does.

President Obama is a Muslim (from his own lips), Kenyan (read it from his publicist) a homosexual (read it on a news magazine cover) and a Socialist (I'm alive and can see it for myself)

Yeah she is not that funny. She is pretty raunchy in her old age.

She's charming

And coy and mischievous, but NOT vulgar.

For vulgar, see Bill Mohair, Randi Rhodes, Sarah Silverfish. No Betty White among them.

I'm missing the liberal media bias angle on this one.

This is sort of a 'just for fun' piece, apparently, filed under the Extra heading rather than part of the main site.

You missed it because you don't have a man's view of feminine beauty. Compared to other liberal women Betty is pretty hot.
Compared to other conservative women Sarah Palin is just another beautiful face and body.

"Compared to other liberal women Betty is pretty hot." Compared to other liberal women, Moochie the Clydesdale, and Doobie Wasserman-test Slutz are pretty hot! (I can't believe I even said that!)

I do think that Betty White is very funny sometimes, but since the working definition of sex is, "the most fun you can have without laughing," she really doesn't float my boat.

That was a Woody Allen line, and he was not laughing with his quasi-foster daughter. Ewww.

Betty White was hot back in the MTM days, and she still has a bit of that je ne said quoi.

As I mentioned to a colleague when I turned the big Five Five, one of the best things at that age is that 50-year-old women look good! (She was 50 at the time and had a Meryl Streep thing going for her, so she hardly needed any "senior discount" to be appreciated.)

He (Morgan) then lamented that it had taken him fifteen months to get her on his program, and that to pay him back for keeping him waiting so long she should kiss his fingers like she did Ed Asner years ago.

Say what?!   You've been waiting for over a year to have a 90 year-old woman kiss your fingers?  Is this a fetish of yours?

I'm beginning to think the UK deported this guy.

White sexily complied leaving Morgan to comment, “Oh, my God, this is the most erotic thing that's ever happened to me.”

I can believe that.

“My wife's last words to me tonight before I came down here were, ‘Watch yourself with Betty White,'” Morgan confessed. “She said she's the ultimate cougar.”

Keep an eye on your wife, Morgan.  She's dropping beads.
