  1. > “I wanted to, and they asked me as I was coming out of Alderson, that camp I was in for a while,” Stewart said of hosting the iconic sketch show. “And my parole officer wouldn’t give me the time to do it … That bastard! I still have his name and his number.”

    > Stewart noted that under parole, she was only allowed to be out of the house for eight hours per day, which didn’t align with “SNL‘s” intense schedule. “I’m so pissed,” she added. “Maybe some day.”

  2. Aww poor baby. Maybe don’t commit fraud next time.

  4. Martha went to prison for what Congress does every damn day

  5. My dad’s parole officer wouldn’t let him leave house arrest to see me be awarded a small college scholarship.

  7. She could host now. I’d watch. I was a weird kid, watching cooking shows. I don’t doubt she was a perfectionist and a bitch, but I’ve always liked her.

  8. “Young women, listen to my advice, if you’re married and your husband starts to cheat on you, he’s a piece of shit. Get out of that marriage.”

    “Didn’t you have an affair early on?”

    “Yeah, but I don’t think Andy ever knew about that.”

  9. Sounds like PO is restricting her ability to work. Maybe some off limits topics, but restraint of trade? Nope.
