‘Celebrity Beef’ Exclusive Clip: Joel McHale Makes ‘Bachelor’ Stars Nick Viall & Ben Higgins Kiss

It just feels right to have Joel McHale back on E!, right? The former host of The Soup is back with Celebrity Beef, a new game show that features two feuding celebrities going head-to-head in a cook-off to squash their beef. McHale adds in a little of his signature mayhem through his hilarious commentary and through the various mini-challenges he concocts to further test the contestants. After each challenge, he awards the winner an advantage and the loser a punishment that will help or hurt them during the reminder of their cooking time. The celebrity who McHale deems has prepared the best dish receives a trophy and $10,000 for a favorite charity. Not bad for a couple hours in the kitchen!

In this exclusive clip, Bachelor Nation fans get a peek at Nick Viall and Ben Higgins as they compete in an intense round of The Bachelor trivia. In host mode, McHale asks: “Ben, did Nick ever lick whipped cream off of one of the women in his season on the show?” When Ben responses simply and correctly, “yes,” Viall protests, “Doesn’t he have to name who?” McHale dryly answers, “No, E! didn’t go that far with the research.” After Viall misses a question about whether Higgins went skinny-dipping on-camera during his season (Higgins did not), it’s clear that Higgins is destined to be the trivia master.

After jokingly threatening to take the sausage for Viall’s dish away from him, McHale reveals Viall’s true punishment. He must hold a bouquet of roses in his hand while he tries to cook his dish. After a mock rose ceremony during which Higgins gifts Vial the roses (and a sweet kiss), the two Bachelor studs are off to the races! Tune in tonight at 10 p.m. ET/PT on E! to find out who wins!
