Betty White to Appear as Herself on 30 Rock

at .

She's not as big of a name as Oprah Winfrey - but who is?

Betty White will portray herself on an episode of 30 Rock this fall. The former Golden Girls star joins a long line of guest stars on the sitcom that's included Oprah, Steve Martin, Elaine Stritch, Alan Alda, Tim Conway, Megan Mullally and Jennifer Aniston.

Said Alec Baldwin of the casting decision:

"We all put names in a hat, and we took a vote - if you could have one guest star for the whole season, who would it be. And Betty White was the winner."

The new season of 30 Rock premieres on October 15. Baldwin's Jack Donaghy might get married at some point during it.

30 Rock Quotes

Jack: Are you familiar with the GE tri-vection oven?
Liz: I don't cook very much.
Jack: Sure... I gotcha. New York, third-wave feminist, college-educated, single and pretending to be happy about it, over-scheduled, undersexed, you buy any magazine that says "healthy body image" on the cover, and every two years you take up knitting for ... a week.
Pete: That is dead on!
Liz: What, are you going to guess my weight now?
Jack: You don't want me to do that.

[to Liz] I like you. You have the boldness of a much younger woman.

Jack
