Eva Longoria recently looked back on her time on “Desperate Housewives,” nearly twenty years since the show first aired.

In an interview on Today with Hoda and Jenna, host Hoda Kotb inquired about whether this year marks the 20th anniversary of the popular ABC drama series.

“Yes, 2004! 20. And I haven’t aged,” Longoria, 49, responded and Jenna Bush Hager added, “By the way, you haven’t! … You look amazing!”

“I’m kidding, I’m kidding,” the actress — who played Gabrielle Solis on the popular 2000s show — clarified. “But yeah, I was a baby, are you kidding? I look soo … I was a baby.”

When questioned about her reaction to seeing old clips from the show, Longoria confessed to having some regrets about her fashion choices.

“I think, ‘Whose bright idea was it to have those skinny jeans with a zipper this big, below the hips?’ Who?” she shared.

“They were low rise. I mean, low, low, low... nobody misses them, at all,” she added.

Longoria also discussed how Desperate Housewives, which aired from 2004 to 2012 across eight seasons, completely transformed her life.

“It was a decade of my life and it was the No. 1 show in the world so I just remember the first time I went to London, I had never been to London before and there was a big crowd of people outside the hotel,” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘Gosh, who’s here? Is Bono here? Somebody important must be here!’ And the driver was like, ‘… You…’ And I was like, ‘No, somebody like, big. Like a big deal!’”

Desperate Housewives is available to stream in full on Hulu.
