Joy Behar, host of the opinionated ABC talk show, The View suffered a fall today while attempting to sit in her chair during the opening credits of the show this morning.

Behar fell to the flooring, wriggling on the ground before being assisted back to her feet by her co-hosts.

Behar said it was the first time in 25 years she had fallen on national television. Her co-host Whoopi Goldberg said the slippery chairs have caused most of the cast to fall at one point.

“Who do I sue?” Behar asked. “I went flying.”


Behar, 79, was visibly embarrassed and shocked over the event, but has reportedly not suffered any serious injuries.

Behar compared her fall to comedian Bob Saget’s untimely death.

“The main thing — just to talk seriously — when Bob Saget fell, he died,” Behar said. “If you hit your head, and you feel dizzy or you have blurred vision, or you feel like you want to go to sleep, go to the doctor. Because that will kill you.”

Last week, Behar expressed concern over the Ukraine war’s impact on her upcoming vacation to Italy. Now she has another thing to monitor as the big day nears.
