CHEVY CHASE FALLS OFF STAGE AT 'CHRISTMAS VACATION' Q&A ... You Alright, Clark?

Chevy Chase is falling hard for the holidays, but not in a good way -- he tumbled off a stage during a 'Christmas Vacation' event, and despite Clark Griswold's smartwatch having some serious concerns ... he's doing fine.

Chevy was greeting fans Wednesday night at Shea's Performing Arts Center in Buffalo, NY ... where they screened his National Lampoon holiday classic, but as you can see in this clip we got, the Q&A sesh got off to a rocky start.

For some reason, Chevy was rolled out onstage in a wheelchair, but quickly stood up and started walking toward the crowd ... before suddenly dipping out of sight, as he stepped right off the stage!

He eventually got up and back to his seat onstage with help from his wife, Jayni, and the Q&A's host ... and the whole room had a laugh when Chevy's smartwatch called him out for his tumble!

Folks in the audience told us he ended up doing the event with an icepack on his knee but still stuck around to snap some pics with fans and answer questions.

Sources close to Chevy tell us he simply misjudged the edge of the stage when walking out -- saying the stage lights on him blacked it out ... but he's doing just fine, apart from a bruised knee.

Kinda ironic from a man who made his career falling down.......................

I would say it was on par for a man who has used pratfalls to get a laugh and media coverage going way back.   It was not an accident at all.   Don't forget he learned it from President Ford BITD.

not real bad pain, just enough to make him wet his pants every time he coughs or sneezes

Was he doing his Gerald Ford imitation again?

Old age == Falls...

Falling is easy... Getting back up is a bitch... Shaking off the effects of the fall 4-5 days later is painful...

It's his interpretive dance of the Buffalo Sabres' season.

Ahh...remembering fondly your Vaudeville career, AppyPappy. And those performances in the Poconos—sheer brilliance.
