Joy Behar Face Plants in Front of 'The View' Audience: What Happened? [VIDEO]
Joy Behar suffered a worrying fall while filming the recent episode of "The View."
Behar sparked buzz during Thursday's episode of "The View" due to a different reason. Instead of receiving usual comments for her statements, she - instead - became a hot topic following her fall.
The now-viral video shows the 79-year-old comedian as she walked out on stage during the start of the live show. But a few seconds later, she tumbled and fell before reaching her seat.
Cameras on set captured the incident and how Behar's co-hosts, Sarah Haines and Sunny Hostin, immediately rushed to her to help her get up.
Meanwhile, Whoopi Goldberg also ran near her and told her to "just stand." However, Behar needed Haines and Hostin's support to stand up again, prompting a production assistant to run onstage to help her, as well.
While trying to sit down at the table, the comedian let go of a hilarious comment about the face-plant fiasco, saying, "Twenty-five years, that has never happened - who do I sue?!"
Fortunately, Behar did not suffer from any injuries and went on to continue recording the show. Though the fall left her unharmed, she took the chance to give the viewers powerful advice.
Joy Behar Recalls Bob Saget's Fall
After her witty quip, Behar turned serious and told everyone to monitor their health after suffering a fall. She even mentioned Bob Saget, who recently died after suffering from trauma due to a potential fall.
"The main thing - just to talk seriously - when Bob Saget fell, he died. 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," she said.
For what it's worth, Saget left his fans heartbroken following his untimely and shocking death. His official autopsy report revealed the horrifying injuries the actor suffered from before his death, saying that an "unwitnessed fall backward" caused the actor to suffer head trauma.
The list of extensive skull fractures and brain injuries includes subgaleal hemorrhage, subdural hematoma, discoloration in the upper and lower eyelids due to skull fracture, and posterior scalp abrasions.
This led authorities to theorize that he fell, lost consciousness, got into his bed, fell asleep, and never woke up again. They assumed that he died around 4:00 a.m - 12 hours before security personnel found him unresponsive.
