Breakfast show host falls flat on her face on live TV after pull-up demonstration goes horribly wrong
FOX 5 anchor Rosanna Scotto took a nasty spill during a segment on Good Day New York in Manhattan.
The slip-up left the 67-year-old morning show host flat on her face, for a moment.
She had just eked out an impressive four pull-ups with celebrity personal trainer Kenny Santucci.
‘There we go! Another one! ‘Another! Give me two more! Last one!” Santucci told Scotto during the segment on Friday’s broadcast.
The exhausted anchor then released the bar brought in for the segment as Santucci was still holding her legs
Scotto suddenly fell forward, slipping out of her shoes.
Scotto’s cohost Curt Menefee and Santucci both let out a simultaneous, ‘Oh!’ before rushing the the veteran anchor’s aide.
Helping her up, Menefee asked: ‘You ok?’
Star anchor Rosanna Scotto fell during a segment on Fox 5’s Good Day New York in Manhattan on Friday
Scott, seen here at an event in New York City last year, joined Fox’s Manhattan affiliate in 1986 as a weekend anchor and reporter and later in 1994. She was named the host of Good Day New York in 2008
A smile from Scott made clear she was, clearing the way for laughs.
‘Kenny, what kind of insurance do you have?’ Menefee cracked .
‘Uh, not very good,’ Santucci, a former 2000s-era reality star who found fame on MTV’s The Challenge, joked back.
‘Are you ok?’ he asked Scotto again, who – while laughing – assured the men she was fine.
‘Kenny! Why didn’t you tell me!’ she said, as the fitness expert remarked: ‘She fell right out of her shoes!’
The moment was quickly clipped and sent across social media. Many marveled at how Scotto – an anchor on the Fox affiliate for the past 30 years – took the incident in stride.
‘Rosanna Scotto: the definition of the show must go on. I hope she is okay, that was face first,’ one X user wrote.
‘Kenny appeared on Good Day New York this morning, and well, it didn’t go well for Rosanna Scotto,’ a fan of Santucci’s added.

The host went on to finish the show, before returning to the airwaves Monday to host both the Republican nominee for New York City mayor, Curtis Sliwa, and Democrat Zorhan Mamdani.
Scotto previously took a spill while filming a segment at Manhattan’s iconic Rockefeller Center ice rink in October 2014.
Despite breaking a wrist, fracturing an elbow and needing to undergo surgery, she was back on the air just days later.
She joined Fox’s Manhattan affiliate in 1986 as a weekend anchor and reporter and later in 1994. She was named the host of Good Day New York in 2008.
