- Actress Priyanka Chopra revealed on NBC's "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon"Thursday that she had to give her husband Nick Jonas a pep talk before he appeared on the popular YouTube series "Hot Ones."
- "Hot Ones" requires stars to eat progressively spicier chicken wings while answering personal questions, and Chopra and Fallon took part in a shortened version during "The Tonight Show."
- Nick Jonas appeared with brothers Kevin and Joe on "Hot Ones" in May, and revealed during the interview that Chopra had told him, "Don't let me down."
- "Well, I did tell him he needs to do this for the Indians, now that he's married to my entire country," the star joked to Fallon of her pep talk to her husband.
- "He really tried to get it, but after [the] show, it was a long conversation."
- While Fallon had some trouble finishing his spicy wings, Chopra kept her cool, even telling Fallon and "Hot Ones" host Sean Evans that she liked the spice.
- This wasn't the first time Fallon and Chopra ate spicy wings together. In 2016, Chopra and Fallon competed in a wing-eating contest on "The Tonight Show," with Chopra roundly beating Fallon.
- "I'm Indian, it's all about the spice," she told Fallon in 2016.
