The challenge saw notable figures like Kevin Hart and Paris Hilton overseeing the event, with Giada De Laurentiis serving as a surprise judge. De Laurentiis’s involvement marks a unique foray into YouTube’s challenge content format, capturing the attention of her fans.
Among the celebrity competitors were Josh Peck, Diplo, Steve-O, Tiffany Haddish, and many others. Each contestant prepared various dishes, with De Laurentiis evaluating their culinary skills during the cooking segment. One notable moment involved comedian Howie Mandel, who humorously mishandled a dish known as the “Poo Poo Platter” before being eliminated.
In a bid to impress the judges, Ally Brooke, part of Mandel’s team, attempted to recreate De Laurentiis’s signature chocolate pizza; however, it ended up on the floor after being tossed by De Laurentiis herself.
Ultimately, the highest score was awarded to Diplo, Audrey Nuna, and Alex Pall’s fried chicken sandwich, which earned a compliment from Hilton: “That’s hot.”
