Saturday night live is one of NBC’s top television shows. The show has earned a reputation for going above and beyond with the content of some of its parodies. But in the current climate, some of the older parodies have been deemed inappropriate.
Recently, cast member Dana Carvey apologized to famous actress Sharon Stone for a past skit that was racy. In the SNL sketch, Carvey and his co-stars Kevin Nealon and Rob Schneider play airport security officers. They basically sexually harass Stone, forcing her to strip naked during security.

“I want to publicly apologize for the security check sketch where I played an Indian man and we’re convincing Sharon, whatever her character is, to take off her clothes to go through security,” Carvey said. “It’s so 1992. It’s from another time.”
Stone accepted his apology.
“I think we were all committing misdemeanors because we didn’t think there was anything wrong at the time,” he said. “We didn’t have this sense. I had much bigger problems than that.”
“That was fun for me. I did not care. I was fine being the butt of the joke,” she continued. “But I feel like we’re in such a strange, precious time right now because people have spent so much time alone. “People don’t know how to be fun and intimate or any of those things with each other.”
Comedian Shane Gillis found himself in trouble last year. During an appearance on Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast, the comedian was heard using a racial slur toward Chinese people.
The leaked images came shortly after he was hired to be part of the cast of Saturday Night Live. But amid the backlash, the hit TV show rescinded his offer.
“After speaking with Shane Gillis, we have decided that he will not be joining SNL. “We were not aware of his previous comments that have emerged in recent days,” the show said in a statement.
“The language he used is offensive, hurtful and unacceptable. “We regret not having seen these clips sooner and that our vetting process was not up to our standards.”
