Eliot Spitzer, the former New York governor who resigned amid a prostitution scandal and is now running for city comptroller, appeared on Friday’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”

By coincidence, the other guest happened to be Bill Hader — who played Spitzer on “Saturday Night Live.”

Hader recalled a nervous exchange with Spitzer years earlier, and then Leno added to the awkwardness by playing an “SNL” clip in which Hader (as Spitzer) refers to himself as the “Bone Ranger.”

WATCH: Justin Bieber Unaired SNL Sketch, Called ‘Greatest Trainwreck’ By Bill Hader

Justin Bieber hosted “Saturday Night Live” back a few months back, but one sketch can only be seen now — and it’s a doozy.

“Song For Daddy,” which was taped for the show’s dress rehearsal but never made it to air, features noted Bieber skeptic Bill Hader as a country singer debuting an unusual new tune, with The Biebs playing Hader’s son and keyboardist.

But describing the setup doesn’t really do the sketch justice.

In the accompanying commentary, Hader calls the segment the “greatest trainwreck ever.”

Among other disasters: A wall tips over and nearly falls on Bieber, both he and Hader break character, there are lighting issues and wardrobe problems, and the audience reacts to none of the jokes.

It’s definitely worth sticking around for Hader and his co-writers’ post-mortem commentary.

Bill Hader Compares Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake as SNL Hosts (VIDEO)

Bill Hader, who just left “Saturday Night Live” after eight seasons, visited Howard Stern’s radio show this week — and had some thoughts about “SNL” guest hosts Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber.

Five-time favorite Timberlake is “great” and a “class act,” says Hader, who mentions that when the actor-singer comes on the show, he “doesn’t show up with anybody. It’s just him.”

The same cannot be said for Bieber.

Hader recalls, “Justin Bieber showed up with like 20 guys… He had a guy holding a slice of pizza, a guy holding a Diet Coke… You’re trying to fight through all these people to get dressed.”
