'Frasier' Star Falls Off Stage

[OneFinger]

"Frasier" star Kelsey Grammer took a sudden spill while hosting a function at Disneyland.

 

He was master of ceremonies at the California theme park's 50th anniversary celebration. But when he got too close to the end of the stage, he fell off the end.

 

The star of the long-running NBC comedy wasn't joking when he went down. In fact, he uttered a word that the censors would have bleeped. But after brushing himself off, Grammer apologized for his language and finished the end of his routine.

 

"I'll finish this," he said. "Then I'll take a look at what I've done to my body."

 

Grammer wasn't seriously hurt in the fall.

It's actually pretty easy to do.

 

I did it once at WolfTrap outside DC.

 

During a rehearsal, I was standing closer than I thought to the edge of the stage when some VIP's were walking across the stage. I took a step back to get out of their way and stepped right off the stage.

 

I don't remember much about it other than hearing a 100-piece orchestra gasp in unison, but I'm told I did a full 360 in the air and landed on my feet in the aisle. (Thank God it was the aisle and not the seats!)

 

Next thing I knew, I was standing with the stage at forehead level and a whole buncha people were peering over asking if I was OK. (Bruised ego, but otherwise yeah.)

 

Falling off the stage doesn't take talent. I'm living proof. :o

Were their extra points awarded for the 360 and sticking the landing?
