Having made his career interviewing a whole host of challenging and intimidating subjects, surely documentary maker Louis Theroux will have no trouble eating his way through a few spicy wings, right?

Well, yes and no. During the episode above of First We Feast's Hot Ones, Theroux manages to keep most of his cool intact while answering questions on everything from his own favourite documentaries to his viral "my money don't jiggle jiggle" fame.

The highlights? Some of the creative descriptions Theroux comes up with to describe his suffering, include the memorable line: "My tongue feels...like a stranger."
