Even stars get starstruck!
Jillian Bell stopped by "Conan" on Tuesday, where the "Workaholics" star shared her most embarrassing celebrity encounter while working on "Saturday Night Live."
The 31-year-old was a writer for the show, and while she was used to seeing plenty of famous faces around the set, she totally lost it when she met teenage crush Justin Timberlake.
Bell was working on a sketch with Kristen Wiig when the ladies got an unexpected visit from the "Mirrors" singer.
"Kristen and Justin are having this conversation, friendly banter, and at the time 'MacGruber' was coming out and so she had this poster printed out and it's her in these tight '70s jeans and Charlie's Angels pose and they were doing a total bit about 'Girl, look at that a--,' they were just like look how good you look," the "2s Jump Street" star explained.
"So this is when I'm like pipe in, say anything. And so, they're just like 'Look at the butt' and I look up and I go, 'Yeah, put a penis in that butt,'" Bell hilariously confessed.
Even Conan O'Brien was stunned, "Wow ... what a Hail Mary pass," he joked.

But, the "Workaholics" star's story gets even better!
"So then they start talking about the 'MacGruber' premiere and she's saying 'You know Justin if you are in town next Friday you should come,' and he was like 'Oh I am going to be back in LA, but thank you. I'll go see it that night though.' And she's so sweet, she goes 'Jillian if you're in town you should come!' And I go, 'Oh I am actually going to be back in LA' and then I look at Justin Timberlake and I go, 'So I guess we should go together?'" she hilariously confessed.
"His response was my favorite, he went 'Is Kenan [Thompson] around?' [Then] a hard exit!," she concluded.
Yeah, we're sure that first encounter didn't go exactly as well as the actress hoped it would. What do you think about Jillian's hilarious story? Sound off below and check out the gallery above to see more pop stars then and now!
