Martha Stewart’s got beef with her old parole officer who killed her shot at hosting Saturday Night Live.
During her Monday night (January 27) chat on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, the lifestyle queen spilled about getting shut down by her P.O.
Fallon kicked things off by mentioning how she’s been impersonated nine times on the NBC comedy show and asked if she’d ever want to host.
“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,” Stewart shared. She’d done time at West Virginia’s Alderson Federal Prison Camp from October 2004 to March 2005 for fraud tied to the ImClone insider trading mess.
When Stewart mentioned she could only be out of her house eight hours daily, Fallon asked, “And the parole officer said ‘No?'”
Stewart confirmed the rejection, then quipped, “That bastard.”
“I still have his name and his number…I’m so pissed,” Stewart added. “Maybe someday.”
After saying she’d be “amazing” in the hosting spot, Stewart encouraged, “Start a campaign!”
Stewart got convicted in 2004 for conspiracy and obstruction of justice over trading her ImClone Systems shares back in December 2001. She got slapped with five months behind bars plus two years of supervised probation. As her new Netflix doc Martha shows, she bounced back hard with The Martha Stewart Show and even popped up on Donald Trump’s NBC show The Apprentice before he became president.
