Martha Stewart shared on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' that she was asked to host 'Saturday Night Live' after her release from prison in 2005 but her parole officer wouldn't allow it. Stewart expressed frustration, saying she was only permitted out of her house for eight hours a day.
Live from New York, it wasn’t Martha Stewart . The domestic doyenne said her parole officer wouldn’t let her host “ Saturday Night Live ” after she got out of federal prison in Alderson, West Virginia in 2005 after serving five months for lying about a stock trade. While appearing on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon ” on Jan. 27, Stewart was asked if she’d ever want to host the long-running comedy sketch series, which is currently celebrating its 50th season.
“I was allowed to be out of my house eight hours a day,” she said before Fallon cut her off to confirm the parole officer was the one who wouldn’t give permission. “No, that — that bastard,” she joked. “But Lorne called you and said, ‘Would you like to host?’” Fallon asked. “Yeah, I’m so pissed,” she said. “Maybe someday.” Fallon said she would be “a fantastic host,” an opinion that she shares. “Oh, I would. I would be amazing,” she said.
