Chicken wings nearly endedJimmy FallonandSelena Gomez’s friendship.

The story came up when Fallon took a bite of Da Bomb hot sauce-coated wing, an infamously hot hot sauce on the show.

“Oh no,” he said as soon as he bit into the wing. “I remember this. This is the one that killed Selena Gomez. Do you know we almost killed Selena Gomez?”

Evans, stifling a giggle, replied, “I remember vividly.” Evans continued to explain how he loves doingHot Onessegments during Fallon’s show because they are shot in the middle of the program so the rest of the show is filmed with Fallon’s “mouth on fire.”

“You almost killed an American treasure, Selena Gomez,” said Fallon, who just celebrated the 10th anniversary of his NBC series, explaining through tears and coughing fits that he felt guilty doingHot OnesonThe Tonight Show. “Dude, she left and ran out. I went and knocked on her dressing room door. She was throwing up in her sink and I go, ‘Selena —’ and she goes, ‘Get the f— out’ with a devil voice,” he said, mimicking a deep and scary tone.

He continued, “I’ve never seen her like that, spit was dripping out of her mouth and I go, ‘I’m so sorry. And we didn’t talk to each other for another three years.”

“That’s my favorite 30 Rock memory, ever,” Evans laughed.

At this point in the segment, the heat started to really get to Fallon as he complained that “things are coming out” and he was losing his hearing in one ear.

“I’m not crying I’m just thinking about me grandmother,” Fallon quipped in a fake Irish accent, as tears ran down his face.

“I’d like to thank all the other nominees, especially Jimmy Fallon,” he said with a laugh, “for putting that QR code on his television program.”

“I did vote for Jimmy. I’m sure it was very close,” he continued. “I voted for him multiple times. I think my family voted for him, but America has spoken.”
