There's nothing better than something going wrong on live TV.
On the special 2020 episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan, Ryan Seacrest took a big fall out off his chair, and Kelly Ripa was there to catch him. Well, she tried, anyway.

On the special 2020 episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan, Ryan Seacrest took a big fall out off his chair, and Kelly Ripa was there to catch him. Well, she tried, anyway.
While interviewing Allison Janney after her big Oscar win, Kelly's shoe slipped off of her chair and scared all three of them.
They immediately burst into laughter. Man, Allison Janney really makes the world a better place.
There's just so much going on here, you know?
Kelly and Ryan's prompter got flipped upside down, so Ryan came up with a creative way to read it.
Points for ingenuity, and points to those pants for toughing that deep bend out.
"Ryan Seacrest's thighs will not be ignored," Kelly said.
Ryan described those pants as "Gap Kids" pants, which...yeah, that pretty much sums that up.
I love how delighted Julianne Moore was to see Ryan Seacrest split his own pants.
Why are all of their fumbles usually clothing related? One of the show's producers held a sign up off-camera indicating that one of Kelly's buttons had come undone, and her bra was showing.
Ryan and Kelly thought that was hilarious and stole the sign immediately.
Ryan had one job: get the tongue depressor in Kelly's mouth.
"Do I have your permission to put this on your tongue?" He asked, hitting her right in the lip with it instead.
While calling a viewer, Kelly said, "It's Kelly and Ryan here, um, from, uh...Kelly and Ryan Show."
Sure, that's close enough. I also love her level of comfort with the camera: why not just itch her cheek while on live TV?
Why was Andy Cohen there? Why was Kelly wearing a costume from The Handmaid's Tale? Why was Andy Cohen picking Kelly up?
At least someone was smart enough to censor Kelly's clothing mishap.
"He's so manly, his mustache has a black belt in tai-kwon-mo," Ryan attempted to read off of the screen.
They both broke down at how stupid the line was, and I cannot blame them.
A lot of things go wrong on live TV, especially when it comes to wardrobes and slip-ups.
Recently, Ryan took a big fall when trying to reach for a balloon. He and Kelly have a very serious job.
They were doing a "2020 Travel Trivia" segment when Ryan became obsessed with catching a gold balloon.
One was floated over to him, and he tried to catch it. "Tried" being the operative word here.
Ryan overstretched to reach the coveted balloon and started to tip over.
Kelly was pretty shocked. She kind of lifted out of her chair as he hit the floor. It's good to know she's not the kind of friend that would pull her phone out to record immediately (like I am).
One of the producers came in from offscreen and joined Kelly in helping Ryan up.
I just wanna a give a shoutout to the quick af person who knew to switch cameras.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!" She repeated over and over. "Are you okay? Are you okay?"
She's such a mom — she didn't even think, just ducked down to help him up.
Ryan posted the video to his Instagram story and tagged her. She posted it to her own, adding a sarcastic clapping gif of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. We love that sass.
In true Seacrest fashion, Ryan knew an opportunity to make fun of himself when he saw one. He posted the video to his own Instagram so that the rest of us can enjoy that fall as many times as we want.
