- Dana Carvey insulted Madonna in the early 1990s after complimenting her for being "so fit."

- The comedian said the singer responded, "The thing you admire about me is how fit I am? I'm a f---ing artist."

- Carvey then panicked and gave Madonna the middle finger, prompting him to apologize on his podcast three decades later.

Dana Carvey is offering an olive branch to the Queen of Pop.

The *Master of Disguise* star apologized for putting his foot in his mouth during his interaction with Madonna at a *Saturday Night Live* after-party when the singer appeared in a "Wayne's World" segment on the show in the early 1990s.

"She was cool, but I just stepped in it without knowing," Carvey recalled in a recent episode of his podcast, *Fly on the Wall*. "She came over to our table at the party. And I think I said something really stupid because she was so fit."

Carvey explained that it was his phrasing that got him into trouble. "I said, 'The thing I admire about you' — and I shouldn't have said 'admire about you most,' I might have accidentally said that — 'is how fit you are,'" the comedian remembered. "And I can see later how she took offense to it, and she basically kind of said, 'The thing you admire about me is how fit I am? I'm a f---ing artist.'"

Carvey said that in a moment of panic, he then doubled down on offending the star by flipping her the bird.

"So I did Chris Farley's thing, which I'd seen him do, because I just was triggered," the comedian recalled. "So I go, 'Madonna, can you hear this? Let me turn it up for you.'" In the video edition of the podcast, Carvey held out his middle finger turned upside down then turned it right side up as he recalled his dialogue with the singer — a move previously employed by Judd Nelson's John Bender in *The Breakfast Club*.

Madonna wasn't scared off. "About a half hour later, she came back and sat on my lap — not in a seductive way, but in, like, a puppy-dog, friendly way," he said.

Carvey explained that his ego had been inflated during that period of his career due to his increasing popularity from *SNL* and the *Wayne's World* movie. "This was '92 or '3. I had *Wayne's World,* I got six Emmy nominations," he said. "So I wasn't taking any s---."

The comedian ended his story with a heartfelt apology.

"I made a mistake," he said. "I apologize to her if she's listening on this podcast. It was rude."

But he also suggested that Madonna appreciated his rude gesture at the time, to a degree. "I think the fact that I did that, she really respected it," he said. "It's like a street thing."

** has reached out to representatives for Madonna for comment.

The *Trapped in Paradise* actor then marveled at how the artist revolutionized contemporary pop music. "When I look at Lady Gaga and all these people, all these giant [singers] — Katy Perry, whatever — Madonna lit the match," he said.
