Martha's parole officer nixed "SNL" gig

Shortly after Martha Stewart's release from prison in 2005, she received a call from "Saturday Night Live's" head honcho, Lorne Michaels, inviting her to host the sketch comedy show. But to Stewart's disappointment, she had to turn down the offer, for legal reasons. 

During an appearance on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” on Monday, Stewart spoke of the letdown, saying, “I wanted to, and they asked me as I was coming out of Alderson, that camp I was in for a while . . . and my parole officer wouldn’t give me the time to do it … That b****rd! I still have his name and his number.”
