Chris Christie falls out of chair in newly released footage [View all]

Chris Christie was down and out during a radio interview in Philly.

Never before seen footage shows the New Jersey Governor falling out of a chair last June during a visit to the WIP Morning Show.

In a video clip of the fall, the Governor tries to take a seat in a roller chair at the station, opposite radio show host Angelo Cataldi.

But in an ill timed move, the chair rolls back just as the Republican tries to settle in.

Christie is seen falling back on the floor and an aide rushes over to embarrassed politician to resolve the “chair issue.”
