I think the saddest part of this whole thing is that somebody out there is actually taping QVC.

The video is available from a number of different sites.

The remarkably composed studio host, Lisa Robertson, picked up the thread

Thread?? hhhmmmmm.....

I've seen this thing and have to admit I laughed pretty hard - not so much at the fact that he fell, but that his only purpose for being on that ladder was to show how great and safe it is/was.

[GeronL]

exactly. WHO is taping QVC??? and why???

If you want to see something really funny, watch Most Extreme Elimination Challenge on Spike TV.

One time a guy I knew came in to work with a bruise across his face, literally from ear to ear.

He'd been painting his house on a tall ladder when the bottom shot out from under him

He later described it as 'eating rung'

The remarkably composed studio host, Lisa Robertson, picked up the thread. "Well, you know it's a very slippery floor up there in front of our doors sometimes, so we're going to make sure he's O.K.," said Ms. Robertson, a former Miss Tennessee who has been with QVC since 1995.

My guess is that Ms. Robertson is the reason for the taping. What was she wearing?
