Glenn Beck Injures Back After Coffee Table Incident

Glenn Beck, flying high from his parody on last night’s episode of The Simpsons, had a run-in with a coffee table that caused him to throw out his back, taking him out of commission for today’s episode of GBTV. It was unclear his current medical status. According to his website, he will be back on the air as soon as possible.

GBTV reports:

Did he decide to just take a vacation? Has the news of the day finally made his head explode? Has he decided to move his show to a new time? No, he just threw his back out while jumping onto a coffee table* on the new GBTV set. Apparently, he was just a little too enthusiastic about all the changes that were happening in Texas. Don’t worry – he’s fine (although his back hurts… a lot) and he will be back on air as soon as possible (just not Monday night).

*Updated: Glenn was just bending over the table. Stu exaggerated to make Glenn sound athletic and cool
