The 47-year-old late-night host appeared on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" on Wednesday and recalled once running into Beyoncé at a party and having a painfully memorable encounter with the singer while celebrating the 40th season of "Saturday Night Live."
"It was the party that only exists in works of fiction," Meyers said of the star-studded event. "You never would have that many people together again."

As he worked his way through the "densely packed" party, "doing the ‘excuse me,’" as he put it, he came across the "Black is King" star.

Unfortunately for the comedian, his wife, Alexi Ashe, picked up on the awkwardness.

"It went pretty good," he joked.
