She's helmed SNL, appeared in a Super Bowl commercial, and shot photos as a sexy pinup calendar girl, but now Betty White has a new industry venture to add to her resume: Reality TV host!
NBC announced Thursday that the 89-year-old will host Betty White's Off Their Rockers, a hidden camera show that follows seven senior citizens who join with White to prank "the unsuspecting youth of America."
"People have been telling me that I'm 'off my rocker' for years -- now I can prove it," White joked in a statement.
The peacock net has ordered 12 episodes of the series based on a Belgian program. An air date has not yet been announced.

White's new reality venture is her latest in a laundry list of partnerships with NBC.
In addition to appearing as Rose Nyland on Golden Girls for seven years, White earned an Emmy for her hosting gig on the channel's late-night staple Saturday Night Live. White's TV Land sitcom, Hot in Cleveland, has been renewed for a third season and her book, If You Ask Me (And Of Course You Won't), is scheduled to be released in May.

6Betty is by far one of the funniest people on tv! I love her!
Just another garbage show on the air. Really? Haven't we seen enough of her? She's a terrible actress, she's not funny, yet she's continuously on the screen? Wow, they must be desperate for an actress hiring her.
Betty not stopping until the very end I see. What a woman.
I can't wait to watch this! Betty White is hilarious!!!
Oh my God!! I can't WAIT to watch this show!! Betty White is hilarious!!
Wow, I can't believe how many projects she has going on and she is 89! Truly an inspiration for all actors in Hollywood to have a successful career span so many decades.
