Beyoncé Braves the Hot Ones Challenge on Saturday Night Live

  • Maya Rudolph dusted off her Beyoncé impersonation last night on Saturday Night Live, putting her in the most unexpected of places — the YouTube series Hot Ones, where celebrities are interviewed by Sean Evans (Mikey Day) while eating progressively spicier chicken wings.

    In this case, the celebrity of all celebrities is unfamiliar with the show and is only there because Solange recommended it, and thus she's forced to deal with hot sauces with names like The Devil's Diarrhea and Hitler's Anus. The heat gets to her quickly and soon there is a full-blown celebrity meltdown, complete with overbearing handlers getting involved to keep anyone from seeing her hairdresser DeMichelangelo (Kenan Thompson) put ice cubes under her wig.
