Famous YouTuber MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has released a new celebrity challenge video called “30 Celebrities Fight For $1,000,000!”. The video was launched to celebrate the premiere of Beast Games 2 on Amazon Prime Video on January 7, 2026. In this exciting challenge, 30 celebrities from movies, music, comedy, and sports compete in different tasks. The winner does not keep the money but donates the $1 million prize to a charity of their choice.
Giada De Laurentiis Judges MrBeast’s $1 Million Challenge
One of the biggest surprises in the video was celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis joining the judging panel. She appeared alongside Paris Hilton and Kevin Hart, making her role stand out as she is mostly known for food and cooking shows. Giada served as the expert judge during the cooking round, which quickly turned chaotic and funny. Her calm and professional attitude helped balance the madness of the competition.
The cooking challenge featured several celebrity teams presenting creative dishes. Some moments were messy and unexpected. Comedian Howie Mandel shocked everyone by smashing his team’s dish with his hands before being eliminated. In another moment, Ally Brooke tried to impress Giada by recreating her famous chocolate pizza, but it did not go as planned and ended up on the floor after Giada tossed it aside herself.
Out of all the teams, Diplo, Audrey Nuna, and Alex Pall impressed the judges the most with their fried chicken sandwich. Their dish received the highest score among the remaining teams. Paris Hilton even gave them her iconic phrase, saying, “That’s hot,” which became one of the most talked-about moments from the episode.

With famous faces, funny moments, and a good cause at its heart, the celebrity challenge quickly became a hit among viewers around the world.
