AceShowbiz - As Leah Remini continued to fill in for co-host Erin Andrews on "Dancing with the Stars", she fell victim to a Halloween prank on the show. On Monday night, October 26, she was surprised by pro dancer Sasha Farber who wore a clown mask.
Leah was interviewing Tamar Braxton and partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy when Sasha who was disguised in the scary clown mask snuck up behind her. She was so startled that she dropped to the floor.
It was her reaction though that should be applauded up as she managed not to curse. "Damn you!" were the only words that came out of her mouth as she got up with the help of Val. "Sasha...," she added in a threatening tone as she knew who the culprit was.
Co-host Tom Bergeron commented on Leah's reaction, "I know Leah pretty well and the thing that I admire most about this whole show is that when she was frightened, there were at least seven words that didn't come out of her mouth. I'm so impressed with her."
Sasha, meanwhile, took to Instagram to share a clip of Leah's fall and set things straight that he meant no harm with his prank. "@leahremini it's Halloween week, it had to be done, love you!" he captioned the video.
The playful prank aside, "DWTS" axed Hayes Grier and Emma Slater on the "Halloween Night"-themed episode as Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough got a perfect score for their individual routine.
