Chevy Chase took a spill recently, but played it off like a professional.

Chase was in Buffalo, New York for a screening and Q&A of his beloved 1989 holiday classic, ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.’

“He took a fall at the part of the stage that was not lit well but thanks to all his falls on ‘SNL,’ it was like riding a bike again. Just a little boo-boo. All good,” a representative for Chase told PEOPLE.

Footage was shared of the incident by TMZ, which showed Chase coming out onstage in a wheelchair only to stand up and walk to the front of the stage. A few seconds later, he fell off.

His wife, Jayni Chase, came up and helped the actor to his seat for the Q&A.

"Wait wait, my watch is talking to me," Chase told the moderator, then jokingly, "It says, 'I see you've taken a great fall! ... Taken a hard fall.’”

In videos Chase shared on his Instagram Stories of the event, the moderator can be seen telling him about his tumble, “We’re going to be talking about that one for a while!”
