Don't fear the reefer: 'The Martha Stewart Show' goes to pot!

Categories: Television

M4099_625_2Attention, stoners! It seems somebody has finally given Martha Stewart the right kind of viewer research—you know, the kind that lets her know that plennnnty of you are at home watching her daytime talk show and hittin’ the pipe on a regular basis. At least, that’s my guess after receiving an e-mail this morning that included an announcement that next Monday’s episode of The Martha Stewart Show will be "entirely dedicated to the world of pot."

I’m not really sure how this will go over with Martha’s dedicated fan base of type-A closet reorganizers and guppies in search of the perfect cassoulet recipe—I mean, do those people even know what pot is?—but the e-mail release had some pretty smokin’ (sorry) teasers. For instance, Monday’s episode will feature Martha talking about her stash of pots while an onscreen crawl highlights every word she uses that includes "pot." She’ll hang out with some pot-bellied pigs, chat with some professional plant potters, and welcome guest Jimmy Fallon, who brings Martha a plate of brownies upon entrance (while cracking an already-tired Michael Phelps joke) and later cooks his favorite chili in, yep, a Crock-Pot.

Haha. Pot. Get it? You know, this isn’t the first time our Martha has flirted with pot culture—plenty of us recall our jaws hitting the floor when she made her uproarious appearance alongside Busta Rhymes at the 1997 Video Music Awards. For all the times we’ve heard rumors of nasty, cutthroat behavior, Martha’s her own best lampoonist, and it’s pretty admirable that she plays along so well. Or maybe, after all those months in prison, the girl’s just got a need for weed. Weed HUMOR, I mean! (Seriously, Martha, don’t sue me. I in no way presume that you toke up on a regular basis.)

So, stoners and non-stoners alike, does this episode sound like fun to you? Will you be watching?

    That is so NOT a marijuana plant. Trust me; I know this…

    I’d watch if my local NBC afiliate hadn’t dropper her in favor of the TMZ show. I still laugh every time I think of her first April Fool’s Day episode when she glittered an upholstered chair and burnt steak. She’s got a wicked sense of humor

  • Annie Barrett

    Wait.
    I forgot what the post was about.
    Sorry.

    Also on hand at the taping was Dr Rand Pink. Pink was selected by Jeff Zucker to be Jimmy’s Twitter co-host. Pink will be adding his comments on the huge plasma or placed on a small monitor on the couch.After the taping Rand and Martha made out for an hour in her kitchen.

  • Mark Godfrey

    Never been a Martha Stewart fan, but this changes everything.

  • JB

    Yeah, like I’ll still remember 2 days from now…

  • Ben

    I’m sure Martha learned from the other felons where inside her body to hide her stash from searches by prison guards.

  • ryan

    HAHAHA…Ive never been a gigantic fan of Martha but she has always had this funny quality to her…I will be watching this for sure…just to hear Martha say pot and giggle

    Hmmmm…I think it would be a lot more interesting if, instead of concentrating on pot “puns” Martha actually dedicated the show to learing more about hemp and hemp products. Hemp is an extreemly versatile material which is also eco-friendly. Hemp crops up in paper, cloth, and cooking which are all Martha-type things. If more people used hemp products, such as using hemp paper instead of paper made from deforestation, much needed relief could come to our other valuable eco resources; hemp cloth is a resposible fabric choice vs. synthetics fabrics, and roasted hemp seeds are delicious as a snack, or in salads. Doing a show that just jokes about “pot” seems kinda juvenile to me and is missing a great opportunity…

  • vinny

    meh, whatever
    *sparks a j*

  • aztrofuk

    suk my balls

  • some guy

    I remember seeing Martha drink a colt 45 on Conan Obrien.

  • todders

    I would smoke some with Martha. I bet she could decorate a mean-lookin’ bong.
    Yo, check out this hilarious sketch I just saw about the GIRLS GONE WILD P ORNO BAILOUT (but beware the mustacho’d man):

    The soundtrack for “the pot show” can be heard at myspace.com/thezow. It was recorded a few years ago. Ignore the first song–it is completely unrelated. Of course, the pot show is quite informative for serious snacking.

  • amy

    I saw this episode and laughed very heartilly! Very tongue in cheek and Jimmy Fallon was very game and funny. It makes me wonder how many people are smokers.

  • pu808bu

    LOL… Watching the show right now! Roll it up, Light it it up, Smoke it up!
