Joy Beharis doing just fine after suffering an on-air mishap.
During Thursday’s episode ofThe View, the 79-year-old co-host walked out onstage as usual. But this time around, Behar accidentally fell out of her chair.
After Behar’s co-hosts helped her off the ground, moderatorWhoopi Goldbergsaid: “These chairs move!”
“You touch it and you’re on the ground,” added Goldberg, 66.
Sunny Hostinsaid it’s “happened to all of us at one time or another,” though Behar countered: “25 years, that has never happened [to me].”
“Who do I sue?” she continued. “My husband is home laughing, I bet.”
Upon getting settled into her seat, Behar recalled what happened in the brief incident. “I went flying,” she said.
WhileSara Hainespointed out how “high” the chairs are, Goldberg joked that it “takes a glass of wine to get into the chair.”
Goldberg then asked Behar if she is “alright” after the fall.
“I just missed the step,” Behar said. “As usual.”
Later in the show, Goldberg clarified that Haines, 44, did “not trip” Behar before her fall, joking that the hosts were receiving texts accusing the Haines of sabotaging Behar.
“Today, I did not trip her. Today,” said Haines as Goldberg chimed in, “She did not do it. All of you stop sending us texts, that’s not what happened.”
Added Behar, “I’m getting all these messages from people saying, ‘That’s a viral moment…That’s all people really care about. This, fromAna Navarro: ‘Mamacita, are you okay?’ She’s funny.”
On a more serious note, Behar discussed the more serious repercussions that falling can have.

“Well, you know, I fall a lot. The main thing, just to talk seriously, whenBob Sagetfell,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 “But I’ve fallen a lot. I fall all the time. I’m a klutz! But this chair, this chair was like the exorcist. It was spring!”
Behar then explained that the chair “moved” before she tried to sit in it. She joked, “But you know what? I’m going to make a resolution. I’m going to make my behind a little bigger, just for the purpose of the chair.”
