NBC is getting on the Betty White bandwagon.

The 89-year-old TV legend is set to exec produce and host hidden camera reality show "Betty White's Off Their Rockers." Peacock ordered 12 half-hour episodes.

"Rockers," which will focus on a group of senior citizens who play pranks on unsuspecting younger folks, will be produced by Chris Coelen's new shingle Kinetic Content. Coelen was formerly the topper at RDF USA.

"People have been telling me that I'm off my rocker for years, and now I can prove it," White said.

Added NBC reality topper Paul Telegdy: "Betty White is a comedic genius who escalates hilarity in any situation. Viewers will thoroughly enjoy watching her pull one over on the unsuspecting youth of America."

Network wouldn't commit to an air date as of yet, but summer would certainly be a strong possibility.

White, of course, teamed with NBC for seven years when she co-starred in "The Golden Girls" (1985-92) and she's currently starring in the TV Land sitcom "Hot in Cleveland."

Boy, Betty's like the Energizer Bunny. She just keeps going, and going . . .
But good for her.

She has more irons in the kettle (or however that phrase goes) and more energy at 89 than most half her age do. God bless her!!!
