When 'Saturday Night Live' cast member Jimmy Fallon threw jabs at several NBC affiliates for not showing Saturday's episode live, featuring Democratic presidential candidate the Rev. Al Sharpton as its host, Tallahassee viewers were not able to laugh with him. They saw an episode featuring Steve Martin on their screens instead. Officials at NBC headquarters in New York said Monday that 32 confirmed national affiliates did not broadcast the live show because of concerns with equal time for all presidential candidates. Sharpton missed the Florida Democratic Party Convention in Orlando this past weekend because of his 'SNL' obligations. Staff at local NBC affiliate WTWC (cable channel 12) said they have been fielding calls from viewers who were greeted with the rerun featuring comedian Martin. 'I've had a hundred (calls) today,' said Dot Odom, program director for WTWC. 'All I can say is that it was a corporate decision.'
