'SNL': Sharon Stone is surprise guest during Sam Smith performance – USA TODAY
One could assume Sharon Stone followed her basic instincts when appearing on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend.
The Oscar-nominated actress joined the sketch comedy show's musical guest, Sam Smith, for their performance of "Gloria," in which Stone's acting was subtle. Stone, 64, laid down for part of the performance and then sat up and dramatically stared out into the distance.
She also appeared in a black and white detective sketch with the weekend's host, Aubrey Plaza. Plaza's character had an affinity for older guys.
"When I meet a man with cataract glasses and pants up to his chest, I go head over heels," Plaza told investigator Jack Raughley. She added: "I like the way their kisses taste like a cough, how they can't find their glasses …"

Stone previously hosted "SNL" in 1992, the year the thriller "Basic Instinct" hit theaters.
"I'm a little nervous," Stone said at the time, wearing a white minidress with a turtleneck in the style of Catherine Tramell.
"You know, I think I'd feel more comfortable if I could sit down," she said before taking a seat and lighting a cigarette, like in the movie's famous investigation scene.
