Conan O'Brien's 'Hot Ones' is the greatest episode of all time. It may never be topped.

110% commitment.

There are many very good episodes of Hot Ones out there, but we may just have found a new spicy wing king.

In the Season 23 finale, legendary talk show host Conan O'Brien claims upfront that he's "terrible with hot food" before proceeding to laugh in the face of every wing placed in front of him — even going so far as to douse Da Bomb with extra source from the bottle, some of which he licks directly from the wing itself.

"I'm fine!" screams O'Brien at the end, with sauce covering his shirt and chin. "I'm perfectly fucking fine! You didn't come up with one wing that had an effect on Conan, 'cuz he's here to stay."

Hot Ones perfection.
