Martha Stewart Says ‘Maybe Some Day’ She Will Host “Saturday Night Live” After Parole Officer Previously Stopped Her

Martha Stewart is still dreaming of appearing on Saturday Night Live.

On a new episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the lifestyle guru, 83, recalled narrowly missing out on hosting SNL as her parole officer at the time stopped her from accepting the gig.

When asked by host Jimmy Fallon if she would ever host SNL, Stewart replied, “I wanted to and they asked me as I was coming out of Alderson — that camp that I was in for a while — and my parole officer wouldn't give me the time to do it,” referring to her stint in Alderson Federal Prison in 2004.

“I was allowed to be out of my house eight hours a day,” she explained. "And the parole officer said ‘No?’ ” Fallon, 50, asked.

“No—” replied Stewart, adding jokingly, “That b------."

“I still have his name and his number … I’m so p-----,” she continued. “Maybe someday.”

“You would be fantastic,” said Fallon. “Oh I would,” Stewart agreed. “I’d be amazing ... start a campaign!”

In 2004, Stewart was sentenced to five months in prison and two years of supervised probation after being found guilty on charges including conspiracy and obstruction of justice, stemming from selling her stake in ImClone Systems, a biopharmaceutical company, in December 2001.

She was released from prison in March 2005.

Despite not appearing on SNL at the time, Stewart was able to bounce back in her career after her return home as she wrote a book and debuted two new television shows less than a year after her release.

Fallon shared with Stewart that she is “one of the most impersonated people” on SNL, after being imitated nine times by alums such as Amy Poehler, Kristen Wiig, Kate Mckinnon and David Spade.

“David’s my favorite,” Stewart remarked as she revealed that the comedian “was wearing my poncho” for his impression of her on the show.

Sharing her reaction to all the impersonations of her, she said, “I love it! Imitation is the highest form of flattery.”
