Martha Stewart was “pissed” her “bastard” parole officer once blocked her from hosting “Saturday Night Live” after she got out of prison.
The former “Martha Stewart Show” host appeared on the “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” Monday when Fallon asked her if she had any interest in hosting the hit comedy show.
“I wanted to, and they asked me as I was coming out of Alderson –– that camp that I was in for awhile,” she said while Fallon laughed and buried his face in his hands.
Stewart, 83, spent five months in the early aughts in the Federal Prison Camp in Alderson, W. Va., where she served her sentence for conspiracy, obstruction of justice and making false statements to federal investigators.
“My parole officer wouldn’t give me the time to do it,” she explained. “I was allowed to be out of my house eight hours a day.”
The lifestyle entrepreneur slammed the parole officer as a “bastard” and admitted that she still remembers “his name and his number.”
“I’m so pissed, but maybe someday,” Stewart dreamed.
Fallon agreed and told Stewart that she’d be “fantastic” as a host.
“Oh, I would,” she quipped. “I would be amazing!”
Although Stewart has yet to host the live comedy sketch series, she has become one of the most frequently impersonated people over the years.
Stewart has previously spoken about her experience behind bars after she was released in March 2005. In addition to her five-month sentence, she also had to spend the following five months under house arrest and the next two years under probation.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model described her stay as “terrible” and specifically had a problem with the “very poor quality of the food.”
“I had to do all that crap that you see in the movies,” she said in her “Martha” documentary. “You can’t even believe that that’s what you’re going through.”
