The studio of “The View” was filled with unexpected enthusiasm recently, thanks to Joy Behar’s unpredictable tumble on live TV! The 80-year-old comedian’s attempt to navigate a “dangerous” swivel chair ended in an unplanned detour to the floor, leaving everyone in stitches.
Behar revisited the embarrassing moment on Thursday with her signature humor, chuckling, “Remember when I fell on stage here? My behind slid right off the seat!” Whoopi Goldberg offered her perspective, pointing out that the hosts had a clearer view of Behar’s struggle to stay upright than the audience.
Goldberg described the experience, saying, “We saw you trying to figure out how not to fall onto the floor, and that was scary because you don’t know whether to catch you and potentially bother you by touching you.” Behar jokingly compared the moving chairs to a Coney Island thrill ride, equating her workplace to a theme park.
The incident had a silver lining, though – new safety features were added, including stationary chairs with four sturdy legs, a square seat, and a backrest. Behar showcased the updated chairs on Thursday, demonstrating the show’s commitment to avoiding future mishaps.
Not everyone was thrilled with the new seating arrangements, though. Goldberg quipped, “My behind doesn’t fit in this chair, as I’ve mentioned many times, so they’re not new to me!” The hosts exchanged playful jabs about making do with what they had.
Earlier in the week, Goldberg defended Behar after co-host Ana Navarro claimed that Behar was hired and fired by late “The View” co-creator Bill Geddie. The hosts’ friendly banter showcased the dynamic quality of the long-running daytime program.
Behar made headlines throughout the week with her comment calling Texas Governor Greg Abbott a “sadist.” She sparked conversations beyond the show’s confines by defining Abbott as someone who derives joy from causing people pain, sorrow, or humiliation.
Thanks to Joy Behar’s accident, “The View” proved that even unexpected moments can bring laughter and camaraderie, ensuring the venerable daytime program will always surprise and entertain its viewers.
