Ep 4. Justin Timberlake Cries a River While Eating Spicy Wings
- April 9, 2020
In the fourth episode of season one of Hot Ones, Justin Timberlake takes on the fiery challenge of eating increasingly spicy wings while being interviewed by host Sean Evans.
The episode kicks off with Timberlake admitting he's a bit nervous to try the wings, but says he's up for the challenge. Evans starts with a mild sauce and Timberlake handles it with ease, joking that he doesn't want to "embarrass himself" in front of the audience.
As the wings get hotter, Timberlake starts to feel the burn. He even pauses at one point to take off his jacket and wipe the sweat from his forehead. Evans keeps the interview going as Timberlake struggles through bites of wings coated in sauces like “Da Bomb” and “Mad Dog 357.”
The conversation between the two shifts between funny anecdotes and Timberlake taking breaks to cool down with milk, water, and even ice cream. But things take a more emotional turn when Timberlake bites into the final wing, which is coated in the infamous “Last Dab” sauce.
As Timberlake tries to keep it together, Evans asks him about his recent success with his solo music career. Timberlake begins to tear up as he talks about the support he's received from his fans and the importance of staying true to himself.
With tears streaming down his face, Timberlake manages to power through the final bite and the two wrap up the episode with a reflection on the experience. Timberlake reveals that he was definitely pushed to his limits, but he's glad he did it and encourages others to step outside of their comfort zones.
Overall, this episode of Hot Ones delivers the usual mix of spicy wings and humorous banter, but also offers a glimpse into Timberlake's emotions and vulnerability. Whether you're a fan of Timberlake or simply enjoy watching people struggle through spicy challenges, this episode is definitely worth a watch.
