MrBeast challenges fan to read humiliating speech for $10,000 Unsplash: Miguel Henriques\/Instagram: MrBeastYouTube\u2019s number one philanthropist Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson is back at it once more. This time, he\u2019s persuaded a fan to read a cringe-inducing speech in front of a thousand \u2018people\u2019. Most of us would do whatever it took to get a sniff off $10,000. In past, MrBeast has given out much larger sums to strangers for doing everything from completing Minecraft to quitting their job. Normally he reserves the more difficult or embarrassing challenges for himself and his crew, like burying himself alive for two days. His latest video followed this model, as he had his co-stars lie in a bathtub with snakes, survive 30 seconds with a tarantula, and compete in a press-up contest. But there was one challenge that particularly caught the eye, involving a fan called Randy. Randy was called to an auditorium, handed a script, and told that if he read its entire contents to an audience of 1000 people, he would receive a staggering $10,000 prize. MrBeast had deliberately set Randy up for embarrassment and had co-stars Karl Jacobs and Chris Tyson hide in the auditorium to provide some interaction.

He also had to ask the audience to give him a \u201cHooyah\u201d, referencing the iconic series of Vines, before promoting MrBeast\u2019s fast food burger chain. Mobile users: segment starts at 6:51 But a twist came at the end, as it was revealed Randy had been reading his speech to just a bunch of mannequins. Given the global health crisis, packing a room with a bunch of people probably wouldn\u2019t have been the best idea, so this twist was definitely necessary. Randy was completely overwhelmed when he received the briefcase containing $10,000. \u201cI have no idea what to do,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m giving this money to my mom\u2026 thanks for this opportunity, I can\u2019t stop shaking.\u201d Randy\u2019s success reminds us that, beneath all the stupidity of his YouTube challenges, MrBeast\u2019s work really does improve the lives of actual people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
