“I hope this doesn’t embarrass him too much, but I’m sorry, man, I gotta do this,” Timberlake said. “The GOAT came to see me, the one and only Martin Scorsese. So many family and friends but … I see some new faces, too.”

Scorsese took it in stride, smiling, waving, and fiddling with his glasses. He received a big cheer.

Timberlake’s wife, Jessica Biel was also spotted in the crowd. He has one more show MSG tonight at the Garden.

The shows capped an eventful period for Timberlake, who was arrested last week on suspicion of driving while under the influence.
