Betty White had no problem staying up till 1 a.m. to host Saturday Night Live -- so she stayed out later! Life & Style magazine reports that the 88-year-old former Golden Girl joined the cast members at Docks in New York City after the show, where she partied until 3 a.m.

An eyewitness told the magazine, "She got a standing ovation when she arrived at the party a little before 2 a.m. In 10 years of working on the show, I've never seen that before."

Although Betty stuck to drinking water at the after party, a source told L&S that she requested a stiff, chilled vodka during Friday night's rehearsal. When asked if she had any other requests while working on the show, Betty replied, "Special requests? Who could even think of that? I was just so focused on what I had to do. I had to learn how to read cue cards for tonight!"

It's safe to say Betty didn't get much sleep over the weekend. An insider said, "She had to catch a flight at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday morning!"
