Martha Stewart Reveals Her Most Unexpected Favorite SNL Impersonation!

by

For over five decades and still going strong, Saturday Night Live has been renowned for its celebrity impressions, with Martha Stewart being among the most frequently mimicked, thanks to her diverse career. Her ownership of a Christmas tree farm and her friendship with Snoop Dogg provide abundant material for the writers. Although Martha Stewart hasn’t been announced as an upcoming host on SNL yet, she has shared that one of her favorite co-stars has an unexpected take on her personality.

Stewart recently graced the stage on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” engaging in a lively conversation with the host. They discussed her new Super Bowl commercial featuring Charli XCX, interest from “Traitors” host Alan Cumming for her to star in a reality show, and of course, the pile-up of Saturday Night Live impersonators. When Fallon inquired about her favorite among them, Stewart divulged an unexpected choice and also shared a BTS detail regarding the sketch.

He’s my favorite. David [Spade]’s my favorite. He was wearing my poncho. Yeah, the real poncho.

Trust a top-notch trendsetter to choose an entertaining and zany favorite among nine excellent imitators, whose episodes can be watched with a Peacock subscription. Although every performer does a commendable job portraying the businesswoman, this one offers a unique touch that might make him stand out from the rest. It’s also possible that the actor from Tommy Boy got her poncho for the court scene.

In the Studio 8H discussion that followed, they delved into Stewart’s overall feelings about being satirized on the iconic late-night program. Delighted by this, the actress from “Bad Moms” considers it a point of pride, and likened it to an old saying, expressing:

Indeed, it’s something I genuinely appreciate. To put it another way, your work reminds me of a hearty compliment. And if being emulated is a sign of appreciation, then by all means, carry on!

1) Stewart stands out uniquely and exudes self-assuredness, always ready for new adventures if executed skillfully, and appearing to enjoy herself throughout. The 2024 documentary showcased this and other aspects of her personality, even revealing that the 83-year-old had some critiques regarding the final Netflix product, primarily focusing on minor details. Consequently, the author of Martha Stewart‘s Menus for Entertaining, choosing David Spade as her favorite SNL performer, seems quite suitable.

In this rephrased version:

The actor from Grown Ups captures flawlessly the persona and demeanor of a post-prison TV personality. The costume, wig (unshown), and cigarette set the tone for this opening scene. It leaves me questioning if Spade might resurrect that impression and perhaps recreate her iconic 2023 Sports Illustrated cover – I’d bet Stewart would be open to it! Indeed, maintaining the leading role in most self-impressions on Saturday Night Live speaks volumes about their unique talent and success.

Perhaps, in the future, it’s possible that Martha Stewart will grace the stage of a legendary late-night comedy program. Ideally, she might be joined by the nine impersonators at some point.
