When Leno asked her if she had any intention on retiring, White responded, "That's a word I'm not familiar with."

She discussed the grassroots campaign that started on a Texas man’s Facebook page to get her the SNL gig.

“It kept building, and building and building and the next thing you know, Lorne Michaels is asking me to do Saturday Night Live,” she said.

As For Facebook? White said: “I heard of it, but I didn’t have a clue what it was -- I’m not technologically adept.”
