‘SNL’ alum Jorma Taccone shatters pelvis in scary fall: ‘I’m going to die’

Comedian Jorma Taccone has opened up about his near-fatal fall from a 20-foot ladder earlier this summer.

The “Saturday Night Live” alum, 48, detailed the shocking incident during the latest episode of “The Lonely Island & Seth Meyers Podcast” released Tuesday, Sept. 2.

Taccone, who is one-third of Andy Samberg’s The Lonely Island comedy trio, revealed that he shattered his pelvis and suffered a detached sacrum after the scary drop.

“One of the projects I wanted to do this summer was I wanted to build… there’s a barn, and the back half of the barn has this big white wall,” Taccone began, detailing the lead-up to the tumble. “I was like, this is great, we can do a big mural.”

“I was painting this barn, and as a final touch, I was like, I should hang these lights that will go around the eve of the barn to highlight the barn,” the “Hot Rod” actor, whose daughter was turning 5, continued. “I was doing that on the day.”

But after borrowing a “very rickety” ladder with “not good” legs from a neighbor and climbing 20 feet up, Taccone nearly froze as it began to “give way” before “going down under him.”
