Why ‘Hot Ones’ is the Ultimate Celebrity Gauntlet

Hot Ones isn’t just an interview show—it’s a spicy trial by fire. With wings drenched in sauces like Da’ Bomb Beyond Insanity and The Last Dab, even the toughest stars have been reduced to sweating, swearing, and chugging milk.

But some celebs? They’d never make it past wing three. Here’s who would absolutely crumble under the heat.

Celebrities Who Would Tap Out Immediately

1. Tom Holland

Why He’d Fail: The Spider-Man star admitted he can’t handle spice at all. In interviews, he’s said even mild salsa makes him panic. Imagine him facing Mad Dog 357—he’d be swinging from the ceiling.

2. Gordon Ramsay

Shocking, But True: The fiery chef hates actual spicy food. He once cried eating a jalapeño on The F Word. If Hot Ones served him Da’ Bomb, he’d probably throw the plate and scream.

3. Kristen Stewart

The Evidence: She’s famously low-energy in interviews. Add The Last Dab to the mix? She’d give one-word answers between gasps: “This… is… bullshit.”

4. Ryan Reynolds

Why It’d Backfire: Deadpool’s wit wouldn’t save him. Reynolds once said black pepper is “too spicy” for him. Hot Ones would break him faster than Green Lantern reviews.

5. Gwyneth Paltrow

The GOOP Meltdown: She’d try to detox the spice with a crystal or call it “toxic.” Cue her sipping bone broth while the crew stares in silence.

The Spice Wimps Who’d Beg for Mercy

6. Jimmy Fallon

The Proof: He fake-laughs through everything, but Da’ Bomb would make it real. Watch him cry-laugh into a milk carton.

7. Lizzo

Controversial Take: She’s all about confidence, but she once said buffalo wings are her limit. Hot Ones would have her flute-playing for mercy.

8. Anderson Cooper

The Ice Man Melts: His stoic demeanor would shatter faster than a Carolina Reaper hits. Picture him silently sweating while Sean Evans asks about CNN.

9. Timothée Chalamet

The Aesthetic Ruiner: He’d try to stay poetic, but The Last Dab would have him ugly-crying into his turtleneck.

10. Taylor Swift

The Revenge Plot: She’d write a scathing song about Sean Evans after Mad Dog 357 ruins her vocal cords.

Final Verdict: Who’s the Weakest Link?

Biggest Wimp: Tom Holland—he’d tap out before the intro ends.
Most Dramatic: Gordon Ramsay—expect a Michelin-starred tantrum.
Dark Horse Fail: Ryan Reynolds—his Deadpool mask would fill with tears.
