On hand to present the award for Best Pop Video, the 52-year-old comedian went for laughs by singing, dancing, and just generally goofing off with The Newsroom actor Daniels, 59. He was performing a slapstick routine with a scarf when he accidentally slipped and fell backward, landing flat on his butt.

"I meant to do that!" he quipped as he jumped back to his feet, laughing. Added Daniels: "It was planned! We rehearsed that."

Ever the pro, Carrey used the blunder to his advantage and worked a second tumble into his bit. "That was amazing! Let me try it again," he joked, before somersaulting back onto the floor.

Of course, the Kick-Ass 2 star's gaffe wasn't the only unplanned moment during the show. Earlier in the night, two-time performer Nicki Minaj had a wardrobe malfunction while performing "Bang Bang" with Ariana Grande and Jessie J. After failing to complete a quick wardrobe change offstage, she re-emerged with her dress undone and had to hold it together with her hands for the rest of the song.
