Betty White, the ex Golden Girl will be on Saturday Night Live in the not so distant future, as she confirmed it to PEOPLE on Sunday night.

Her fans have been shouting out for White to appear on SNL – idea White, 88, considered ridiculous a couple of weeks ago. A Facebook page specially made for this cause drawn half a million fans.

As she was asked by PEOPLE about doing Saturday Night Live, White said “Yes,” adding on “I don’t know why or how, but it’s been wonderful.”

White provided no details whatsoever about her SNL gig and the date of her appearance is also uncertain.

According to Entertainment Weekly, White is possible to appear on a special “Women of Comedy” episode with past SNL cast members, such as Tina Fey, Molly Shannon and Amy Poehler. Executive producer Lorne Michaels allegedly denied this information.

White recently starred in the romantic comedy The Proposal along with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds and was also honored with a lifetime achievement award at the Screen Actors Guild.

Past “Dancing With the Stars” winner Brooke Burke is set to be Tom Bergeron’s new partner when the series launches again later on this month.

Burke will take the place of Samantha Harris as co-host. The announcement was made by Bergeron Monday at ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

As a competitor, Burke was the winner during the season which ended in November 2008. She was hosting various television shows, such as “Rock Star” and “Wild On.” She has four children and a business on parenting topics, having on online baby products store. She is also the “mommy correspondent” on ‘The Doctors” show and has over 1.7 million followers on her Twitter page.

The current season’s competitors include former “Baywatch” star Pamela Anderson, astronaut Buzz Aldrin, reality show celebrity Kate Gosselin and gold medalist figure skater Evan Lysacek.

The list of competitors also include sportscaster Erin Andrews, reality TV star Jake Pavelka, football star Chad Ochocinco, singer Nicole Scherzinger and actors Aiden Turner, Shannen Doherty and Niecy Nash.

The new season of the show is set to begin on March 22.
