Betty White might be 93 years old, but this lady still knows how to have a good time.

The comedienne stopped by The Late Late Show Tuesday, but prior to her visit, she decided to get in touch with host James Corden to make some innocent requests to ensure everything during her visit would go as swimmingly as possible.

"I called him and I had a few things to say to him," she explained, "You know, the way I would like things done."

Well, Betty likes things done in a very particular way, which the host wasn't too keen on at the time! "He took a dim view of it," Betty confessed.

Rewind to the day before when the Hot in Cleveland star put in a prank phone call to the late-night talk show host to ask for a few favors. At first, the host seemed more than willing to listen and take the requests, but as the Golden Girls alum continued to ask for more and more, he seemed a little suspicious.

"I need some lighting changes," she said, while the host confessed he didn't even know what the lighting situation was.

There have always been rumors about certain celebs who like their dressing room a particular way, and it seemed as if Betty was no different!

"My dressing room as it is now is brown, and there's nothing worse than brown," Betty said.

But the British host wanted to talk her down from this one, so he tried explaining to her how the walls aren't exactly brown.

"I think it's like an off-white," he explained. "It's more like a cream."

She wasn't having it. "Cream is just brown milked down," she stated.

(Never thought about it that way—yet another reason why Betty is amazing.)

When he didn't seem to understand the color motif she was going for, she clarified: "I like the water colors." Aside from the paint on the walls, the actress also asked if she could sing (she's taking requests) and asked for M&Ms—but only the yellow ones. She ended her prank phone call by referring to him as Johnny, which we're sure he absolutely loved.
