Audience booing her (kinda lame, non-matching, nevertheless reasonable) answer (to the question, “At the terrible Death Valley restaurant they only serve _____ sandwiches” [contestant said sand]).

Brett: I’m in menopause!

Audience dying laughing.

Betty White: I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ve heard you’re wonderful.

Audience dying laughing again.

Brett: What did you say, Elizabeth?

Gene paraphrases what Betty said.

Brett: Well, hers is so far behind her that she doesn’t remember.

Audience continues dying laughing.

#the way they all love to burn each other 😍#Betty white’s infinite supply of puns 😍#Brett calls Lee Meriwether Lee Ann and Kaye Stevens Catherine and Fannie Flagg Patsy Neal which are all their real names #but it’s so so funny and endearing to me when she elongates people’s names in the same Mom way erroneously #yes Betty is a nickname for Elizabeth but Betty white is just Betty. her real name is not Elizabeth #yes penny is a nickname for Penelope but penny marshall is just penny. her real name is not Penelope.#yes Connie is a nickname for Constance but Connie Stevens’s full name is Concetta #and the funniest one is that Fannie is a nickname for Frances but Fannie Flagg is not only just Fannie but also a made up stage name 😂#like she already calls her patsy which is her real name but then fabricates Frances out of whole cloth 😂#I haven’t come across it but I’d lay odds that she calls patti Deutsch Patricia at some point #and I love it when she deliberately mispronounces Marcia Wallace’s name as Mar Cee A #(I think she does something weird with debralee scott too like maybe calling her Debbie? I don’t recall)#just the general theme of calling her gal pals special names 😍#(and she and Charles calling each other Susan/Sheila and Steven 😍)#match game #match game monologue transcriptions nobody asked for #brett somers #betty white
