Will Smith will be tortured eating The Wings of Death on an upcoming episode of Hot Ones.

The popular show hosted by Sean Evans now boasts 13.4 million subscribers on YouTube. Guests like Chris Hemsworth, Gordon Ramsay, Shakira, and plenty of other actors, stars, and athletes have recently tried to tackle some of the spiciest, hottest food imaginable.

Evans casually interviews the guests, who eat wings and are seemingly tortured in Hell by the heat.

Recent guests on Hot Ones

Recently, Conan O'Brien was a guest. He hilariously rubbed himself with hot sauce as he scarfed down some food on a Scoville Level of 2,693,000. The Scoville scale, or Scoville Heat Unit scale, measures the spiciness or pungency of hot peppers and products made from peppers. It goes from 0 (think bell pepper) to 2,693,000 (Pepper X).

The O'Brien episode was the season finale, so they ate the hottest imaginable wings. It was straight, concentrated pepper. And Conan handled it like a champ — seemingly unphased by the heat at first. But then, he started to feel the effects of The Wings of Death. He became red and had sauce dripping down his cheek. Still, he did pretty well, considering the intensity of the sauce.

As for Smith's upcoming appearance, he's getting flack in the comments about him being on the show.

“Will it slap tho?” one comment reads.

“Keep my wings out ya mouth,” someone else wrote.

“I'll pass, don't need to see slap smith in anything ever again,” another person mentioned.

That said, there are a lot of positive responses as well.

“Ohhhh, this episode is gonna slap!” an enthusiastic commenter noted.

On a Reddit thread, it was asked what the best moments from the show were, and people had a lot of opinions.

“Halle Berry absolutely setting the platinum standard of how to do it. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think she took a sip of anything, and she straight CLEANED every wing. Not just nibbled as it got tough like the majority of guests (Da'Bomb is seriously no joke), but powered through like a boss,” someone wrote on a big up-voted post.

Someone else said, “Paul Rudd — he decided to make this mix of all the sauces, dipped the last wing (spiciest) in it and then went for another fingerful of that mix. It was insane. Also Lorde was amazing. She was so composed. And Halle Berry.”

“The Dave Grohl episode is one of my favorites, it's full of great moments, and the banter beween him and Sean is very natural. Plus, he got through every wing with almost no reaction, which I definiely didn't expect,” another wrote.

Will Will Smith eat wings like a boss and become a new highlight of the show? Or will tears fill his eyes, and he has to bail on the torture? Watch Hot Ones Thursday and find out.
