By the nature of it being live, it's immediate and it's probably riskier,” Gasteyer says of SNL. “There's not a lot of time spent hand-wringing and wondering if someone's going to be offended.”

Martha Stewart has revealed that she was once asked to host "Saturday Night Live," but her parole officer wouldn't let her.

Stewart revealed she had an offer on the table to host “SNL” shortly after her release from prison, but her parole officer put the kibosh on it.

Martha Stewart explained why she has never hosted "Saturday Night Live" on "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon."

Martha Stewart has revealed that she was banned from hosting Saturday Night Live by her parole officer. However, during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon on Monday, Martha revealed that her parole officer wouldn't allow her to accept the gig.

Martha Stewart is one of the most impersonated person on Saturday Night Live, but has yet to host the sketch show. On a new episode of The Tonight Show, Stewart spoke to host Jimmy Fallon about being impersonated nine different times, including by David Spade.

Martha Stewart has claimed her parole officer banned her from hosting Saturday Night Live. In 2004, the 83-year-old star spent five months in jail and another five under house arrest before two years of supervised probation after being found guilty of charges relating to an insider trading case.

Martha Stewart has regrets. No, not necessarily about that whole insider-trading thing: In 2005, she had to turn down hosting "Saturday Night Live." Stewart said during "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" that she was asked by "SNL" creator Lorne Michaels to host an episode of the sketch series in 2005 after her release from prison.

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.

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.
