White made her debut as Dr. Beth Mayer on Season 11 of Bones in 2015. She returned as the character for an episode during the show’s 12th and final season in 2017. The latter appearance marked one of her last acting credits before her death at the age of 99 in 2021.

During the panel, hosted by People, fellow “Bones” star T. J. Thyne recalled White being “a little troublemaker” on set. His comment caused Boreanaz to tell his own story about his first interaction with the legendary comedian, who died in 2021 at age 99.
