Joy Behar — the famous host of the American TV show 'The View' — had a dramatic fall in front of the studio audience.

The incident took place on Thursday’s episode and was caught on live TV.

In the viral video, the 79-year-old Behar entered the studio with the theme music playing in the background and audience members clapping; however, the cameras caught the host falling after apparently trying to sit in her chair behind the desk and landing on the ground.

The other three co-hosts, Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, and Sony Hostin, all leapt out of their chairs and ran to Behar, who immediately began laughing.

"Come on just stop, just stand," Goldberg said as the three women helped Behar up. As soon as Behar was upright, the crowd roared in approval.

"Let me tell you these chairs are dangerous," Hostin exclaimed as Behar continued to chuckle.

"These chairs move," Goldberg said, still standing and spinning hers around as she spoke to Behar.

"25 years, that has never happened," Behar said. "Who do I sue?" she joked.

Meanwhile, News reported that Behar used her "klutz" moment falling onstage Thursday to share an important message to viewers.

“The main thing — just to talk seriously — when Bob Saget fell, he died,” Behar said, referring to the late comedian, who medical examiners determined died of head trauma last month.

“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," Behar said. "Because that will kill you.”

During Thursday's incident, the show's three other co-hosts Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg rushed to help Behar.

The audience members cheered for Behar, saying "We love you, Joy!"
