Live from New York, it wasn’t Martha Stewart. The domestic doyenne said her parole officer wouldn’t let her host “ Saturday Night Live ” after she got out of federal prison in Alderson, West Virginia, in 2005 after serving five months for lying about a stock trade.

Martha Stewart almost had a shot at hosting “Saturday Night Live,” but alas, her plans were thwarted by her parole officer. On Monday, during an appearance on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon,” Stewart shed light on the reason she wasn’t able to host the iconic comedy sketch show.

The remark tickled the late-night host given that the “camp” was Stewart’s 2004 stint in Alderson Federal Prison related to a stock trade. Stewart explained that she was only allowed to be out of the house for eight hours a day. “And the parole officer said ‘No?’ ” Fallon asked.
