Tina Fey made a shocking revelation during today’s appearance on The Howard Stern Show: her fellow SNL alum Colin Quinn once left her an angry voicemail in which he called her a nasty word that rhymes with “bunt.”;

During the interview, Stern asked the Sisters star about a story he’d heard that someone on the show had once called her the C-word, and dredging up this particular moment from her past clearly made her uncomfortable. “You know, we’ve since made up,”; explained Tina.

After much prodding from Stern, Tina finally relented and revealed the culprit. “I love him so much,”; she said before admitting: “It was Colin Quinn.”;

She explained what led to the outburst. “I was trying to help him with a show that he was working on, and I think his anxiety about the writing of the show spilled over,”; Fey said. “It was very random. I was like, ‘What?!’ He left me a message and said that.”;

Fey added: “I couldn’t even guess why. Usually if someone calls you that, you’re like, ‘I know what I did.'” Stern then joked, “By the way, guess who’s not in Sisters? Colin Quinn.”; The actress laughed and remarked: “I asked Colin to be on ’30 Rock’ like three times after that and he turned us down every time.”

“Because you’re a [C-word]!” joked Stern.

Tina goes on to reveal that she and Quinn, who recently played Amy Schumer’s father in Trainwreck, have since made up. Listen, but be forewarned that, as always, the language on The Howard Stern Show is decidedly NSFW:
