Martha Stewart recently shared a hilarious and shocking reason she never hosted Saturday Night Live—it all comes down to her parole officer! During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Martha revealed that she was invited to host SNL shortly after serving her sentence in Alderson Federal Prison back in 2004. However, due to her strict parole conditions, she was forbidden from leaving the house for more than eight hours a day, causing her to turn down the iconic gig. As Martha joked about her time in "camp," fans online erupted with excitement, and many are now campaigning to get her on the show.
The full backstory dates back to Martha’s conviction for obstructing an investigation into her ImClone stock trade, which led to her five-month sentence. Despite the past controversy, Martha hasn't given up hope of hosting SNL, even suggesting that fans start a campaign to make it happen. Will we see Martha take the stage at SNL? Only time will tell, but fans are certainly rooting for it.
