Roy was standing over Al who was seated in his chair. Suddenly Al jumped up and got in Roy's face as if to say, "What the bump did you just say to me?" Roy then shoved Al back in his chair, shouting something to the effect of, "Sit yo' butt back down!" When Al fell back in his seat, it toppled over backwards, making for a VERY humiliated Sharpton on national TV. It was one of THE funniest incidents I have ever seen on TV. I LMHO for a good three minutes after the incident, and to this day the very though makes me laugh.

If I find a site that has a video clip of this scene, I will post it on this thread.
As promised, here is the link. Funny stuff.
