'Hot Ones' makes Priyanka Chopra cry and Jimmy Fallon do laps eating spicy wings

We genuinely can't get enough of Hot Ones, and same goes for celebrities, even if they're not really sure why people do this to themselves.

The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon invited Priyanka Chopra onto the show for a special segment of Sean Evans' YouTube show in which celebrities are interviewed while eating chicken wings that get progressively spicier.

"He almost killed my husband," says Chopra, and she's right.

While Fallon coughs and splutters his way through the earlier levels, Chopra actually seems pretty chill until The Last Dab, Hot Ones' hottest sauce which features the diabolically spicy "Pepper X".

"Why do we do this to ourselves?" says Chopra, in actual tears, while Fallon can't sit down and starts doing laps. It's a lot.
