He explained: "Where Terry [Crews] is pretty much sitting here, that's where it was... We actually do have it on security cameras."
"Why would you keep that?" quizzed Today star Natalie Morales, before Howie Mandel joked: "Because we're having a watch party after this," to which Simon jokily responded: "Yeah, we’re going to cheer ourselves up." Heidi Klum then asked Simon: "Where was the blood coming from?" With Simon revealing: "Everywhere! My elbows… there are blood marks somewhere," he added pointing again at the ground.

He also revealed to Entertainment Tonight that Eric had a new nickname for him after the accident, saying: "I never would've had this kind of time with Eric before. He was amazing, because I was very embarrassed when I got home from the hospital... And he came in, because I've got all these metal rods in my back and screws and he went, 'Dad, you look like Iron Man.' And I went, 'Yeah, I'm like Iron Man, yeah.'"
