Ryan Seacrest Fell Out of a Chair on Live TV & It’s Our Fave Video of 2020 So Far

Ryan Seacrest is no stranger to embarrassing snafus—like that time he wasdenied entry to Jennifer Lopez’s 50th birthdayandthe Oscars, or when heaccidentally wore his girlfriend’s shirt…or when herevealed theAmerican Idolfinale resultsearly. Come to think of it, he’s kind of accident-prone. But that didn’t make his latest bungle any less amazing.

It all started when the 45-year-old host arrived at work for yesterday’s episode ofLive with Kelly and Ryan.Everything was going fine—until he fell off his chair backward and hit the floor (literally).

The fall transpired while Seacrest, bless his heart, was trying to catch a gold balloon. When it started going behind him, he leaned back a little too far andboom. Lucky for us, the entire thing was captured on video since he was, of course, on live TV.

As you’ll notice above, hisLive with Kelly and Ryan搭档,凯莉•瑞帕,很快喊道:“噢,我的上帝!”and the audience gasped. She then got up to help Seacrest to his feet and make sure he wasn’t injured (and hadn’t died of embarrassment). Since Seacrest was laughing from his place on the floor, it was clear he was alive and well. So, Ripa said, “Oh, my gosh, he’s fine.”

Afterward, Seacrest grabbed the balloon and joked, “I got it.” Naturally, he shared the video of his epic fall on Instagram later, writing, “First fumble of the new season. Hope I make the playoffs…”

Unfortunately, Ryan, we’re thinking that’s going to be a no. Regardless, please never change.
