What is the worst thing that can happen to a news reader telling a story about people dying taking selfies?
Why not fall off your chair and potentially hurt yourself on live TV?
That's exactly what happened to Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo during a segment on The angle of Angraham.
While he was explaining welcoming Laura Ingraham about the death of a selfie in India, where more than 250 people died after trying to take selfies over the past seven years, he tried to take his own selfie.
Posing with Ingraham with a bottle of Bud Light in his hand, Arroyo found himself leaning a little too far and fell from his chair and fell into the background behind him.
In almost seamless fashion, Ingraham turned to the camera, as if nothing had happened, and began his next segment that was about the ACLU campaign against Brett Kavanaugh.
She asked the crew members to check Arroyo to make sure he was fine.
The images of the calamity quickly became viral and were cited. Fox News, hardly the most popular network in the United States, people liked it.

So many levels of stupid.
Impossible to open the bottle, false selfie / clumsy, mortifying fall, cold cut without emotion. Fox News summarized in seconds. Brilliant. https://t.co/d0CqdKoRLH

However, we have disappointing news for you.
If you thought that moment seemed a little staged, then you were right.
Ingraham later confirmed that the fall was a prepared joke, just to have fun "after a long week". Arroyo also confirmed it in follow-up tweets.
For all viewers concerned, @RaymondArroyoThe fall of our selfie Kavanaugh-Toast was a joke … a fall after a long week. #To laugh # autoiecide
