Martha Stewart Says ‘Maybe Some Day' She Will Host 'Saturday Night Live' After Parole Officer Previously Stopped Her
Martha Stewart is still dreaming of appearing on Saturday Night Live.
On a new episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the lifestyle guru, 83, recalled narrowly missing out on hosting SNL as her parole officer at the time stopped her from accepting the gig.
When asked by host Jimmy Fallon if she would ever host SNL, Stewart replied, 'I wanted to and they asked me as I was coming out of Alderson — that camp that I was in for a while — and my parole officer wouldn't give me the time to do it,' referring to her stint in Alderson Federal Prison in 2004.
'I was allowed to be out of my house eight hours a day,' she explained. "And the parole officer said 'No?' ' Fallon, 50, asked.
'No—' replied Stewart, adding jokingly, 'That b------."
'I still have his name and his number … I'm so p-----,' she continued. 'Maybe someday.'
'You would be fantastic,' said Fallon. 'Oh I would,' Stewart agreed. 'I'd be amazing ... start a campaign!'

In 2004, Stewart was sentenced to five months in prison and two years of supervised probation after being found guilty on charges including conspiracy and obstruction of justice, stemming from selling her stake in ImClone Systems, a biopharmaceutical company, in December 2001.
She was released from prison in March 2005.
Despite not appearing on SNL at the time, Stewart was able to bounce back in her career after her return home as she wrote a book and debuted two new television shows less than a year after her release.

Fallon shared with Stewart that she is 'one of the most impersonated people' on SNL, after being imitated nine times by alums such as Amy Poehler, Kristen Wiig, Kate Mckinnon and David Spade.
'David's my favorite,' Stewart remarked as she revealed that the comedian 'was wearing my poncho' for his impression of her on the show.
Sharing her reaction to all the impersonations of her, she said, 'I love it! Imitation is the highest form of flattery.'

An ‘S.N.L.' Secret Weapon Retires After 50 Years
The Stiegelbauer workshop, where Stephen DeMaria coordinated the construction of sets for 'Saturday Night Live,' is in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, miles from 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Geographically, and in the minds of 'S.N.L.' fans, DeMaria's name was always far removed from the prestige and glamour of the show that has defined American comedy since 1975. But while most viewers have never heard of him, he has spent 50 years setting the scenes for the show's most memorable moments. And now he is done. DeMaria, known as 'Demo' in the shop, retired after the 50th season finale, May 17. The day before, the white-haired, 87-year-old carpenter was leaning over his drafting table, inspecting blueprints and fiddling with the No. 2 pencil usually found behind his ear. For DeMaria and his crew, the show had already begun. Stiegelbauer Associates Inc. is a cross between a shop class and a late-night museum: A Rainbow Room marquee hangs above a workbench; a leftover airplane set sits plastic-wrapped; photos of past sets installed in the show's Studio 8H are framed on every wall. During show weeks, sets are assembled all over the shop by an eclectic crew of craftspeople, many of whom have worked on 'S.N.L.' for decades. As the foreman, DeMaria coordinates the teams assigned to build the sets designed at 30 Rock. Then he oversees the construction, moseying through the shop and kicking up sawdust with his cane as he checks in at the workstations. The cane was the result of an injury he suffered at an end-of-season celebration last year: After a night of tearing up the dance floor, he fell off a curb and broke his hip. 'The best time of my life is the 'S.N.L.' parties,' he said. 'I'll be on the dance floor when I get there, and I won't leave until 5 in the morning.' His favorite, he said, was the 2012 end-of-season party, after an episode hosted by Mick Jagger. 'He was dancing all over the studio, so I got involved,' DeMaria recalled.

Miley Cyrus and Boyfriend Maxx Morando Take Couple Coordinating to a Whole New Level with Matching Hairstyles
Miley Cyrus and boyfriend Maxx Morando went out for a glamorous date night in New York City on June 5 While the couple didn't coordinate their ensembles, they did have matching hairstyles Cyrus and Morando have been dating since 2021Miley Cyrus and her boyfriend, Maxx Morando, are hair twins. The "Flowers" singer, 32, was spotted having a fashionable night out with her musician boyfriend, 26, in New York City, on Thursday, June 5. The couple was spotted leaving the Four Seasons Hotel after Cyrus' private event, then they set off for the rest of their evening. For their date night, Cyrus wore a brown satin, fitted cone bra dress with black criss-cross lace details down the front of the dress, as well as the hips. The hem of the dress featured a long fringe that swayed as the singer walked. Morando kept his look classic for the evening, wearing an all black suit consisting of a jacket, matching shirt and black pants. For a casual touch, the musician kept a couple of buttons loose to expose a white crew neck undershirt. Though their outfits were distinct, the couple matched when it came to the way they styled their hair. Cyrus styled her brunette hair with blonde highlights in carefree curls that cascaded down her back. She also styled her now grown out baby bangs into curls that were flipped away from her face, and folded in seamlessly into the rest of her hair.

Morando, meanwhile, kept his overgrown mullet and bangs styled as he normally does — he let his natural curls pop, with a few pieces laying less than perfectly for a chic touch. Cyrus' curls paired with Morando's curls led to a matching hair moment that recalled the likes of David and Victoria Beckham's twinning hair styles in the 2000s, or Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt in the '90s. Cyrus and Morando's last major matching hair moment came in March, when the couple walked the red carpet at the 97th annual Oscars on March 2. is now available in the Apple App Store!

Morando similarly kept his mullet styled in his natural curls, though his were wispier and highlighted with blonde — a near-direct match to Cyrus's blonde highlights for the evening.
