"We partied," Mandel began. "It was too much. And [Terry] was tipsy. I did not know that, and in the middle of the night she got up and, I don't know where she was headed, but she headed into the wall. And she fell and hit the wainscoting. She hit that as she went down. She slipped, went down, hit that on her eye, then fell on the floor, and broke her cheek."
A graphic image of Terry's injuries was shown on the show, revealing significant bruising and lacerations to her forehead and eye.

Mandel explained that he was initially unaware of the extent of his wife's injuries. "I heard ‘bang’ and ‘ahh' and I woke up and I went, ‘Where are you?’ And she went ‘I don’t know.' That's what she said," he shared.
"I turn on the light, I look, I look around the bed. She's in the corner, face down, and I didn't know she'd cut her head. But blood is pooling," Mandel continued. "I freaked out. I picked her up, I put her on the bed. There's blood every[where]. I went and grabbed all the towels, and all the towels are covered with blood. And she's going ‘Get me ice. Get me ice.' I don't know where to get ice," he joked.

Unable to find ice, Mandel resorted to using a cold soda can from the hotel's minibar, but his attempt to alleviate Terry's pain was met with resistance. "When she did that, I saw her head, and you could actually see her skull. It opened up," he said, eliciting gasps from the audience. "I freaked."
Mandel called hotel security to request medical assistance, and Terry was subsequently taken to the hospital for treatment. Despite the severity of her injuries, Mandel assured the hosts that his wife was recovering well.
"She is absolutely perfect," he said. "There is not a scar. She is beautiful."
The comedian's candid account of his wife's accident serves as a reminder of the potential risks associated with excessive alcohol consumption. It also highlights the importance of swift medical attention in the event of an injury.
