Martha Stewart Says Her Parole Officer Kept Her From Hosting Saturday Night Live – E! Online

Martha Stewart was ready for her big moment in studio 8H.

The 83-year-old shared that she was tapped to host Saturday Night Live, following her release from prison in 2005. But her dream was shut down by her parole officer.

“They asked me as I was coming out of Alderson,” the Martha & Snoop host said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Jan. 27. “That camp that I was in for a while. And my parole officer wouldn’t give me the time to do it.”

The camp in question would be none other than Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Alderson in Alderson, West Virginia where Martha served five months after being convicted by a by a grand jury on nine charges, including conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and making false statements to federal investigators in connection to selling her ImClone stock.

“I was allowed to be out of my house for eight hours a day,” she continued about her stipulations. “That bastard. I still have his name and number. I’m so pissed.”
