Martha Stewart, 79, says she was asked to host SNL but her probation officer made her turn down gig after prison stint
MARTHA Stewart revealed she was once offered a host spot on Saturday Night Live.
But the 79-year-old’s probation officer made her turn down the gig following her 2004 prison sentence.
Martha said in the month’s Harper’s Bazaar: “My only big regret that I can talk about is that Saturday Night Live asked me to host. My probation officer wouldn’t give me the time.”
“That really pissed me off, because I would have loved to have hosted Saturday Night Live. I’d like that on my résumé.”
In 2004, Martha spent five months in West Virginia’s Alderson Federal Prison Camp after being convicted of conspiracy and obstruction of justice.
After serving time, the lifestyle mogul was granted a two-year supervised release.
For years, actress Ana Gasteyer spoofed Martha on the sketch comedy series.
Last month, Martha debuted a line of cannabis-infused dog treats following her cannabidiol gummies for humans this past September.
The famed homemaker was introduced to her partner for the venture, Canada’s Canopy Growth, by her longtime friend and co-star Snoop Dogg.
Martha explained the products: “My dogs are not only my companions, but they are part of my family, and I prioritize their emotional and physical well-being as I do my own.
“Just as CBD can support human wellness, it’s been shown to improve the quality of life for pets as well.”
Martha’s soft chews will come with three different options, wellness, calm, and mobility.
Following Larry King’s death, Martha paid tribute to the late television host revealing they once dated.
Taking to Instagram, Martha posted an old clip from her TV show which saw her introducing Larry to the audience
She shared: “We went out on a dinner date. I thought it was a business date but it turns out it was sort of a dinner date.”
Martha captioned the post: “Larry King and I were friends and I was interviewed by him many times.
“It was fun to turn the tables once or twice and i interviewed him a couple of times on my show! Please watch.”
