Oops! Leah Remini Falls Live on DWTS Thanks to a Mean (But Hilarious) Halloween Prank

There’s nothing like live TV!

There’s especially nothing like live TV around Halloween, when pretty much anything is bound to happen. 

On tonight’s Dancing with the Stars, temporary co-host Leah Remini was talking dance with Tamar Braxton and partner Val Chmerkovskiy when a clown snuck up behind her.

She was so shocked that she fell right over, and somehow managed to not curse up a storm. Actually, she recovered fairly well for such a fall, and somehow managed to not immediately start chasing after pro Sasha Farber, who appeared to be in the clown mask. 

Watch the hilarious clip above!

Leah’s incredible ability to not let out much more than a “Damn you!” did not escape co-host Tom Bergeron. 

“I know Leah pretty well,” he said before leading us into the next commercial break, “and the thing that I admire most about this whole show is that when she was frightened, there were at least seven words that didn’t come out of her mouth. I’m so impressed with her.” 

So are we, Tom. So are we. 

While we always miss Erin Andrews when she takes these little sports-related breaks, we sure do love Leah Remini’s hosting skills. Can anyone get her a more permanent hosting gig? 

Dancing with the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
