Joy Behar’s recent mishap on “The View” created an unanticipated buzz on the set. Even though the event made an effort to provide guests with better seats, the 80-year-old comedian ended up making an unscheduled trip to the floor, which led to a humorous situation.

Behar hilariously recapped the incident on live television on Thursday, when she mishandled her effort to land on a “dangerous” swivel chair. She chuckled as she thought back on the episode, “Recall when I fell on stage here? My behind was not in the seat.”

Whoopi Goldberg discussed the incident from her point of view, highlighting how the audience was not able to see as much as the hosts did as they watched Behar try to stay off the floor. In describing the experience, Goldberg said, “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 sarcastically compared the moving chairs to a swirling rollercoaster at Coney Island, equating her workplace to a theme park, all in keeping with her signature hilarious style. Her spontaneous rollercoaster act did have one positive aspect, though: new safety elements were added. These were stationary chairs with four tall legs, a square seat, and an adjacent back.

On Thursday, Behar demonstrated the show’s commitment to averting such catastrophes by displaying the updated chairs. Not everyone thought the new lodgings were ideal, though. “They’re not new to my behind because my behind doesn’t fit in this chair, as I’ve mentioned many times,” jokingly interjected Goldberg.

Goldberg laughed a little bit as she recalled that although her own behind fit on the old chair, Behar wasn’t exactly thrilled with it. They kept joking around, exchanging pleasantries about getting by with what they had.

Goldberg, 67, defended Behar earlier in the week after co-host Ana Navarro, 51, asserted that Behar was hired and fired by late “The View” co-creator Bill Geddie. The hosts’ friendship demonstrated the dynamic quality of the long-running midday program.

Behar garnered media attention throughout the week when she called Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, a “sadist.” Behar added her distinctive viewpoint to the week’s headlines by characterizing Abbott as someone who gets joy from causing people pain, sorrow, or humiliation, sparking conversations that continued beyond the show’s boundaries.

Though Joy Behar’s trip to the floor proved to be an unplanned diversion, it brought laughter and companionship to “The View,” guaranteeing that the beloved daytime program would never cease to surprise and amuse its viewers.
