10 Celebrities that Struggled Badly on Hot Ones

Hot Ones, presented by culinary YouTube channel First We Feast, is a one-of-a-kind interview-style web series where celebrities eat their way through a line-up of chicken wings dabbed with different hot sauces. As the sauces get hotter, the questions host Sean Evans asks become harder to focus on, resulting in some hilarious viral moments. Spoiler alert — not everyone can handle the heat.

Shaquille O’Neal

The most dominant NBA center of all time didn’t fare so well against the lineup of sauces. The Big Deisel talked a lot of trash, and ended up using quite a few tactics to keep himself from having to eat the last chicken wing. He sure did drink a lot of milk for someone who claimed they wouldn’t even make a facial expression.
