Vote up the disappointing guests who threw in the towel way too early.
On the hit YouTube show Hot Ones, host Sean Evans puts celebrities to the test by making them ingest the hottest of sauces — while at the same time trying to plug their latest project. Some celebrities, like Halle Berry, acted like a true champion while downing all 10 wings, but this list wasn't created to celebrate those who did well on the show. Nope, we're here to rank the best Hot Ones fails, tap outs, and all-around blunders.
Some celebrities cried, other celebrities lost a few cool points, and one celebrity even had an accident during their interview. Sure, a few of the guests may have actually gotten through all 10 wings, but according to Evans himself, they definitely paid for it later.
From DJ Khaled, who only got through three wings, to Eddie Huang, who sadly gave up only after eating two, vote up your all-time favorite Hot Ones fails.
Taraji P. Henson seemed to have come to Hot Ones drunk and had her bodyguard finish her challenge for her. She definitely made it an interesting interview.

Mike Epps went on Hot Ones to plug his show Uncle Buck, but had a hard time carrying on a conversation after he couldn't finish all of his wings. Maybe that's why that show got canceled...

Mario Batali threw in the towel after eight wings, and threw in the towel on his career after sexual allegations came to light. His episode was pulled soon after.
E-40 was a great interview and had to take the challenge in front of an audience, but just couldn't get through all 10 wings despite the live crowd cheering him on.
