Michael Phelps Smashes Raw Eggs on His Face

Now that Michael Phelps has retired from swimming, he’s got a lot of time on his hands, so he thought he’d swing by the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for a game of Russian Egg Roulette.

Phelps received one cardboard cutout of his notorious pre-race face, as well as two raw eggs smashed onto his forehead. It seemed like he much preferred the cutout to the eggs.

He got the raw eggs on his face because in the game of Russian Egg Roulette, there are eight hard-boiled eggs and four raw, and players take turn selecting eggs and smashing them on their heads. While Phelps is clearly a winner in the pool, on dry land … not so much. The first two eggs the swimmer selected were raw, causing the competition to be over almost before it began.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on NBC.
