Leah Remini Freaks Out Over Clown, Falls Face First During DWTS Scare: Watch

Happy Halloween! Leah Remini freaked out on the Monday, Oct. 26, episode of Dancing With the Stars, after being scared by an evil clown in the middle of her guest-hosting duties.

Remini — subbing for Fox Sports’ sideline reporter Erin Andrews — was conducting an interview with Tamar Braxton and Val Chmerkovskiy when dance pro Sasha Farber grabbed her waist from behind. The DWTS troupe member, whose spooky costume included a horrifying mask and orange clown hair, then yelled, “Boo!”

“Damn you!” Remini exclaimed as she slowly crawled across the floor and regained her composure. “You know what… Sasha?! You know what? I’m not good with people scaring me. I’m really not.”

He also told Fox News that it was the producers who encouraged him to scare Remini during the live broadcast. “It was nerve-wracking because you never know what can happen on live TV,” he said. “She could have punched me. That would not have gone down so good.”
