No joke: Ryan Seacrest was attacked by a shark over the weekend.

Luckily for him, it was just a baby. As Seacrest explained on his radio show Monday that he was wading in the water at the beach when he felt something swim past him.

“I thought it was a stick,” he said. “I wasn’t sure what had happened. Then I saw it swim! He took a bite, and he left.”

He later found one of the shark’s teeth lodged in his foot.

Seacrest was incredulous about the incident. When asked if anyone else was hurt, he replied, “No, just me, of course! There were like 1,000 people in the ocean, and I get bit by the shark!”

He was still in minor pain at the time of his radio show.
