Somebody call Mama Doris because she needs to have a talk with Anthony Anderson. The “Black-ish” star recently found himself in the emergency room when he forgot he’s the comedy guy, not an action star.

While shooting the upcoming film, “G20,” in Cape Town, South Africa, Anderson landed on the wrong side of a fight scene with two co-stars and a chair. On Thursday, the Emmys host took to Instagram to share a photo of himself on a gurney, with the caption hilariously detailing where things went wrong.

“I spent the night in the emergency room. Movie set fight gone wrong. Me against two goons and a chair! Guess who didn’t win! Who needs a stuntman? Me that’s who! I’m not as young as I used to be,” he wrote. “CT scan and X-rays showed nothing fractured or broken in my back just a deep contusion. That chair will never be the same though! Bloodied and bowed but never broken!”

ESPN college football analyst Desmond Howard reminded the “We Are Family” host where his strengths lie, writing, “Yeah man...YOU deliver the quips and let a look-a-like fight the chair. Now you know how it feels to get hit in the back crossing the middle.”

Anderson didn’t let the chair off the hook, as he used Instagram to call out his mortal enemy for its devious actions.
