Tuesday on "The Talk" Ana Gasteyer weighs in on "Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels hinting that the 50th season could be his last. "Michaels' work ethic is amazing. I will believe it when I see it, to be honest with you. It's a nice round number I understand, probably why he said it. And the 40th was so sort of extraordinary in American culture...it would be kind of a nice way to end just to have him leave, but I really, I'll believe it when I see it." On working with Betty White on SNL, Gasteyer shares, "There was a Facebook movement to get a ground swell to get her to host, it was the Mother's Day special, it was 11 years ago. And she was 88 years old, and so they brought her on to host...and they sort of mistakenly thought she was too frail and brought all the rest of us women in to sort of support her. But she was such an incredible powerhouse she blasted through that week, no big deal." Gasteyer adds, "She loved working. She had incredible timing. That was one of the most magical weeks of my life. I feel so grateful that I was there and I really love that they re-aired it, because I thought it showed how sharp and funny she was on that episode."
