Live from Dana Carvey's podcast,Chainkeen Exchange it's an apology to Sharon Stone over a "Saturday Night Live" sketch that hasn't aged well.
On Wednesday's episode of Carvey's "Fly on the Wall" podcast, the "Wayne's World" star, 68, apologized to Stone for an "SNL" sketch they both appeared in when she hosted in 1992. "The comedy that we did in 1992 with Sharon Stone, we would be literally arrested now," he said.
In the sketch, "Airport Security Check," Carvey played an Indian man trying to convince a woman, played by Stone, to take off different items of clothing to get through airport security. After she removes her stockings, Carvey's security guard character asks about the color of her underwear before the pilot enters and persuades her to take off her shirt. The sketch ends with Carvey taking photos of Stone's body, supposedly for "security reasons," before the men all rush away after hearing an announcement that Cindy Crawford is boarding at another gate.
"I want to apologize publicly for the security check sketch," Carvey told the "Basic Instinct" actress. "...It's so 1992. It's from another era."
The comedian's co-host, David Spade, agreed the sketch is "so offensive." Carvey, though, praised Stone's performance in it.

"Comedy needs a straight person, and you were perfect in it," he said. "You were completely sincere, and you made us funny."
But Stone didn't sound too bothered. "I know the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony," she said. "And I think that we were all committing misdemeanors because we didn't think that there was something wrong then. I had much bigger problems than that. That was funny to me. I didn't care."
Sharon Stone says Lorne Michaels 'saved my life' from 'SNL' protesters
Looking back on this "SNL" episode, Stone also revealed creator Lorne Michaels "personally saved my life" from protesters, who the actress said were angry about her work as an AIDS activist.
During her monologue, the "Total Recall" star recalled that protesters began storming the stage "saying they were going to kill me." According to the actress, police and security "froze," but Michaels stepped up.
"Lorne started, himself, beating up and pulling these people back from the stage," she said.
USA TODAY has reached out to Michaels' reps for comment.

Amid this chaos, Stone said she had to go live on the air as "all these people were getting beat up and handcuffed" in front of her. "If you think the monologue is scary to start with, try doing it while people are saying they're going to kill you and they're handcuffing them while you're doing the monologue," she said.
Stone also admitted she was so "terrified" about hosting "SNL" that she "blacked out for half of the show," although unfortunately for Carvey, she "came to" for the airport sketch.
Stone noted that Michaels has extended an open invitation for her to return to "SNL," possibly because "he wants to make it up to me that I can come on the show and no one will try to kill me."
