10 Celebrities that Struggled Badly on Hot Ones

In one of the most odd turns of events on Hot Ones, Taraji had her body guard finish the challenge for her. Most fans agree, that this is one of the most entertaining episodes to watch.

In Hollywood powerhouse Idris Elba’s episode the actor made it through every sauce, but not without a few hiccups. A clip of Elba choking with watery eyes became a very popular meme shortly after the episode aired.

The boisterous DJ Khaled only made it through 3 chicken wings – one of the show’s worst performances. He quit about 6 minutes into the episode and spent the next 6 minutes rationalizing his decision. Khaled even went as far as insinuating that the host’s wings were different, and asked to switch plates.

Pop star Billie Eilish was a good sport considering how much pain she was in. She drank a ton of water and ended up doing the last third of the interview with ice cubes in her mouth. All-in-all, it’s a fun episode.

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey used an avocado, pastries and even lemon juice to tame the spiciness. The entire episode was a struggle, but Ramsey made it through all 10 wings.

Before this interview, all parties involved knew that comedian Ricky Gervais was not a fan of spicy foods. He did not make it through the entire lineup and his reactions to the sauces he did try were absolutely hilarious.

This may be one of the more disgusting episodes of the show. To keep things brief, Bobby Lee had a bit of an accident mid-show, making for quite the experience for everyone on set.

Yachty told Sean Evans that he’d never even tried hot sauce before. The disaster potential was at a high. But, he ended up eating 8 out of 10 wings, which is pretty good considering some other performances.

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.
