Nearly four years to the day thatJoy Beharcaptivated audiences byfalling out of her chairat the top ofThe View, the 83-year-old comedian marked the occasion by nearly taking another tumble on the air.
The moment came on Friday's edition of the talk show, as Behar welcomed comedian andHackscast member Robby Hoffman to the program for a comedy bit.
At the end of the segment, Hoffman extended a hand to shake Behar's, with the longtime cohost then appearing to lose her balance, eventually sticking her leg out as she began to slip.
Behar laughed while the audience applauded, and the show cut to a commercial break.
In March 2022, Behar famously slipped to the ground duringThe View's opening moments, as the cohosts walked out to the Hot Topics table.
"25 years that has never happened! Who do I sue?" Behar joked after recovering from the spill at the time. "I went flying.... I just missed a step, as usual."
Months later,the show returned for a new seasonwith slight alterations made to its set in the wake of Behar's fall: new seats that didn't swivel like the old ones did.

Behar has long waged war with inanimate objects on the set ofThe Viewand beyond, with the cohost's cell phone regularly interrupting live broadcasts — enough so that panelistSunny Hostin once had to take the device backstageto avoid further disruption.
A few days after the phone incident, Behar told a story abouttangling with her apartment building's elevator.
"I was alone. Every time I would press 'Lobby,' the thing would go to the lobby and the door wouldn't open. I was like, 'Let me out!'" Behar told the audience. "The only thing worse than that would've been if I was stuck in the elevator with Kellyanne Conway."
Humans, too, have challenged Behar's peace over the years, including an Italian woman who wouldn't let her use the restroom on a European train — thus,Behar admitted to calling the woman "a bitch" as a result.
