Clinton declines ‘Saturday Night’

Bill Clinton has been all over television promoting his new book, “My Life,” but his itinerary won’t include “Saturday Night Live.” The former president has turned down an invitation to be guest host of the NBC comedy series next season, spokesman Marc Liepis confirmed Friday. No reason was given for Clinton rejecting the offer.

Far from going into retreat, Clinton will sit down with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” on Monday, having appeared last Tuesday on CBS’ “The Late Show With David Letterman.”

Fueled by the publicity blitz, Clinton’s book has sold more than 1.5 million copies since its June 22 release.
