KUSA - Ellen Degeneres, Morgan Freeman, Tina Fey, Ray Romano, Seth Meyers and Tracy Morgan to name a few. What do those stars have in common? They all lined up to pay tribute to comedy goddess Betty White on her 90th birthday.

"Betty White's 90th Birthday: A Tribute to America's Golden Girl" aired Monday night on NBC.

Mary Tyler Moore and White's "Mary Tyler Moore" co-stars Ed Asner, Valerie Harper and Gavin MacLeod, as well as Hugh Jackman, Carol Burnett, Jay Leno and Amy Poehler all laughed the night through with their clever nods to her vibrancy and age.

White's "Hot in Cleveland" co-stars Valerie Bertinelli, Wendie Malick and Jane Leeves were also on hand to deliver birthday wishes along with Joel McHale and William Shatner.

White took to the stage to share some memories and gave thanks to those who came to honor her.

Immediately following the birthday bash, the audience was shown a sneak peek at White's new show "Betty White's Off Their Rockers." It's an outrageously funny hidden-camera season unlike anything viewers have ever seen. The show takes senior stereotypes and blows them out of the water as fearless senior citizens take to the streets to pull shocking, unexpected and hilarious pranks on the younger generation.
