Amy Sedaris took a dramatic tumble at the 2024 National Board of Review Awards Gala in New York on Thursday.
The actress and comedian, 62, was presenting Paul Giamatti with the Best Actor award for his role in The Holdovers, when she took a misstep in her black heels.
While walking away from the podium to let Giamatti make his speech, Sedaris stumbled and fell back on the floor.
Giamatti, 56, was pictured rushing to help her up, but it appears as though she chose to take a small break and remained on the floor as he went back to the podium.
It seems Amy was not seriously injured, as the mood remained lighthearted on the stage, with Giamatti pointing to her on the floor as he went on with his speech.
