Celebrating Betty White: America's Golden Girl Airs Jan. 31 on NBC; Netflix Premieres Murderville on Feb. 3

Happy 100th Bithday, Betty White! Today Betty would have turned 100 years old. In honor of one of the world's most beloved entertainers, NBC is presenting an hourlong primetime special commemorating the life and legacy of trailblazing television star Betty White. Celebrating Betty White: America's Golden Girl airs two weeks from tonight on Monday, Jan. 31 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and will be available to stream on Peacock the following day. Friends and stars will pay tribute to America's comedy sweetheart in the special. The hour will include clips that best capture White's irreverent tone, spirit and impeccable comedic timing that are a hallmark of her decades-long career. White was an Emmy, Grammy and SAG Award winner as well as being a tireless advocate for animals. With breakout performances in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls, she starred in two of the most popular comedies of all time and had hundreds of TV credits.

Netflix has announced Murderville, a new comedy series starring Will Arnett, premiering on February 3. The series, which will see celebrity guests completely improvise their way through an otherwise scripted murder mystery, includes Annie Murphy, Conan O'Brien, Ken Jeong, Kumail Nanjiani, Marshawn Lynch and Sharon Stone. 6 episodes have been ordered. Meet Senior Detective Terry Seattle (Will Arnett), Homicide Division. For Terry, every day means a new murder case and a new celebrity guest star as his partner. But here's the catch: each episode's guest star isn't being given the script. They have no idea what's about to happen to them. Together, the guest star and Terry Seattle will have to improvise their way through the case... but it will be up to each celebrity guest alone to name the killer. Join them as they punch a one-way ticket to Murderville. The six-episode procedural crime comedy premieres globally on Netflix on February 3. Based off the BAFTA award winning BBC3 series Murder in Successville by Tiger Aspect Productions and Shiny Button Productions. Main Cast: Will Arnet as Detective Terry Seattle, Haneefah Wood as Chief Rhonda Jenkins - Seattle, Lilan Bowden as Medical Examiner Amber Kang and Phillip Smithey as Detective Darren 'Daz' Phillips.
