A light-hearted moment on Kenyan television has left viewers amused after a guest accidentally fell from a stool during a live studio interview.
The incident happened on the Tuathimwe Show, a popular programme aired on Mutongoi TV. The show is known for its gospel music, inspirational discussions and engaging interviews, hosted by Veronica Syombua.
During the episode, guest Christine Mwende was seated on a raised studio stool as she chatted animatedly with the host. The atmosphere in the studio was relaxed, with both women laughing and exchanging lively remarks.
However, the calm moment quickly turned into comedy when Christine tried to adjust her sitting position. The stool, which had a circular base and appeared unstable, suddenly tilted in the opposite direction.
Within seconds, Christine lost her balance and tumbled to the studio floor. The unexpected fall caught everyone off guard, instantly changing the mood from calm conversation to shock and laughter.
Host Veronica Syombua reacted quickly. She stood up with an amused expression before rushing to help her guest back on her feet, ensuring she was okay.
One of Christine’s shoes slipped off during the fall, adding to the humour of the moment. Still smiling, she leaned on the host for support as she fixed it back on.
A studio assistant later stepped into the frame and picked up the fallen stool, restoring order on set. Impressively, Christine chose to resume her seat and continue with the interview, drawing admiration from viewers.
A video clip of the incident was later shared on social media, where it quickly went viral. Many Kenyans could not hold back their laughter, while others questioned the safety of such studio seats.
Social media users flooded the comment section with playful reactions. Some blamed the stool’s design, while others joked about slippery outfits and bad luck.
Despite the embarrassment, the moment stood out as a reminder that live television is unpredictable.
What could have been an awkward situation instead became a memorable and humorous highlight for viewers across the country.
