Dana Carvey is offering a belated mea culpa to Sharon Stone over a 1992 sketch on Saturday Night Live in which they both appeared. "I want to apologize publicly for the security check sketch where I played an Indian man and we're convincing Sharon, her character, or whatever, to take her clothes off to go through the security thing," Carvey said on the Fly on the Wall podcast he hosts with David Spade, per USA Today. Spade agreed the sketch was "so offensive."
Carvey does indeed use an Indian accent as he and his airport security colleagues make Stone's character take off more and more clothes at a checkpoint. Stone, however, who CNN notes was near the height of her Basic Instinct fame when the sketch aired, didn't seem too fazed. "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. I was fine being the butt of the joke." (More Dana Carvey stories.)
