Hollywood's "Golden Girl" Betty White stopped by NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Wednesday, May 12, to talk about her recent stint hosting NBC's "Saturday Night Live"and her new series "Hot in Cleveland."

Walking out to a standing ovation White thanked the appreciative audience and joked, "Oh my goodness they should be throwing rocks at me, you've had such an overdose…thank you, thank you, thank you!"

When Leno asked the Hollywood's newest "It"girl if hosting "SNL"was nerve-wracking, White said, "I didn't sleep for three weeks before and my knees were shaking so hard.  Don't tell me you couldn't see ‘em!"

White also dispelled the rumors that "SNL's"musical guest star Jay-Z got a little fresh with her.  "Well, he didn't get fresh he just got desperate, I guess."  While laughing, she continued: "No, he just walked by and, you know, patted me – you know how somebody walks by and pat you – well he walked by and patted me.  Not on the shoulder!"

"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno"is from Big Dog Productions in association with Universal Media Studios. Debbie Vickers is the executive producer.
