Ali Wong is a hilarious comedian and actress, but there's nothing funny about Hot Ones' infamous Da' Bomb Beyond Insanity hot sauce.

It's famous for being the sauce that draws out the biggest reactions on the show, and Wong's was no exception. Host Sean Evans gave her a warning, but it still struck hard.

"This one's atomic," Wong said, getting flustered. "Yeah, this one's — oh, it keeps going."

Overall, however, Wong dealt with the heat quite well. Maybe not at the level of the totally nonplussed Ariana Grande, but quite comfortably nonetheless.
