'I was like, "She's getting a standing ovation for just existing." Like, her mere presence was a reason to stand and go crazy, and I totally got it. I was like, "Yeah, we should be celebrating. We made it. We're all in a room with Beyonce. That's what you want,"' said Seth.
Although Seth, also 37, knew the applause was for the Crazy In Love hitmaker, he made sure to let himself soak in the moment.

Sparkle like Beyonce wearing Alexander McQueen
The world premiere for The Lion King finally arrived, and Beyonce stole the show with her red carpet look. As did little Blue Ivy, of course.
Mother and daughter wore matching outfits, and don’t they look equally fabulous?
Beyonce is wearing a bespoke crystal embroidered tuxedo dress with an embroidered skirt and crystal pin heel sandals to complete the look, all by Alexander McQueen.
That’s a whole lotta crystals!
But the super star singer, who voices a character in the film, is only to be seen in her best and this is by far THE BEST we’ve ever seen her look.
Sadly, we mere mortals can’t emulate her glittering style as the pieces aren’t available to buy. However, if you’ve got your own event coming up then channel your inner Bey in a similar blazer from the carousel. This Missguided number is a must-have!

He added: 'I know they weren't clapping for me, but I was on the stage.
'And I, for a brief moment, felt like what it must feel like to have that adulation.
'All I was thinking was, "Oh, people don't like me that much. I don't get one iota of this." No, I get, like, a smattering at best.'

Meanwhile Donald Glover, 35, revealed this week he was star-struck for '10 minutes' when he saw Beyonce and her husband Jay Z in her favourite pizza restaurant.
He said: '[My partner Michelle White and I] talked for like about 10 minutes. We're like "Are you going to say something? Go say something. No, you say something. You're the famous one...."
'It was like 10 minutes and then you go over, and you're like, "Oh hey!" And then you're like, "What are you doing here? I didn't see you.'"'
According to TMZ, Beyonce was shooting the music video for The Lion King this week by a waterfall in the Grand Canyon and a section of the park had to be closed for several hours to accommodate her and her crew.
Her daughter Blue Ivy was also there.
