Ana Gasteyer apologizes to (and cooks with) Martha Stewart

Former SNL star Ana Gasteyer was on Late Night with Seth Meyers last night alongside one of her targets: Martha Stewart. So, Gasteyer took her chance to (sort of) apologize to Stewart. Gasteyer explained, for instance, that she intensely researched Stewart for her impersonation, which was perhaps most sublimely funny when performed topless. “I wanted to dig deep and get inside your head, and instead I dug through your beautifully organized dumpsters and I re-gifted your fish tank, and for that I am sorry,” Gasteyer said. Her other apologies included:

– “I apologize for selling my water bong with your name on it as part of my own Martha Stewart Living Collection.”

– “I’m sorry for pretending to be you in restaurants. By the way, you’re banned from all of the bathrooms at Chipotle Times Square.”

– “Finally, I apologize for sending my drone to mockingly photograph your drone a few weeks ago.”

Stewart and Gasteyer were chummy, however, as they cooked a pasta dish. Stewart did take the opportunity to throw in a zinger for Gasteyer when explaining how her new book of recipes are for busy people. “You seem very occupied, writing apology letters about seven years too late,” Stewart told Gasteyer. She added: “Actually, I love your impersonations of me. They were very very accurate.”
