In the latest episode of Saturday Night Live alums Dana Carvey and David Spade’s podcast Fly On The Wall, Sharon Stone stopped by the show and addressed how she felt while hosting the show in 1992, including that now infamous “Airport Security Check” sketch.

In the segment, Stone plays a woman at the airport who security asks to remove one item of clothing at a time, the joke being that they don’t think she’s hiding a weapon—they just want her to take her clothes off.

Carvey took the opportunity to address the implicit sexism of the scene as well as his portrayal of an Indian man. “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 as Spade chimed in, “So offensive.”
