Jay Leno devoured a 24oz burger in just five minutes to be crowned the latest Fatburger XXX challenge champion.
The 64-year-old talk-show host has gone some way to furhter his status as a big mouth by chowing down on the three-patty calorific treat at the new Beverly Hills Fatburger branch, TMZ reports.
The monster meaty meal may not have done Jay's waistline any favours, but it was enough to earn him a certificate and secure a place in the Fatburger unofficial hall of fame.
Another high-profile customer at Fatburger is US boxing champ Floyd Mayweather, who was snapped devouring some fat-filled grub in the Nevada version of the restaurant earlier in the year.
However, both stars still lag some way behind one former customer who managed to consume a 16-patty, 128oz burger in 35 minutes.
It seems that meat-eating challenges are popular in the celebrity community at the moment, as Joe Thomas and Blake Harrison - who play the roles of Simon and Neil in 'The Inbetweeners 2' movie - revealed at the premiere of their new film that they did something similar on their jaunt to Australia.
The boys filmed much of the new movie Down Under, and revealed they took some time out in between filming to take on a similar challenge - but were significantly less successful.
Blake, 29, told BANG Showbiz: "Me and Joe did a meat-eating challenge where we were quite sick afterwards."
Joe added: "It was a horrible experience in every way, in every bodily way it was horrible. But mentally it was very nourishing."

Royal
Monaco's Princesses Caroline and Stephanie reportedly boycotted the Monte Carlo Red Cross ball because of the entertainment.
The royals missed the annual gala - which was organised by the princesses' brother Prince Albert and his wife Princess Charlene - at the Sporting Club Salle des Etoiles last week, reportedly because they disagreed with their sister-in-law's insistence on booking her jazz singer friend Diana Krall to perform.
And while the hosts - who are expecting twins - applauded the performance by the piano virtuoso, it was said to have fallen flat with many of the other French and Italian guests in attendance.
One source told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "It was terrible, a disaster. Very, very boring."
As well as the princesses, Caroline's daughter Charlotte Casiraghi also skipped the gala, as did other regular guests including Karl Lagerfeld and Lynn Wyatt.
Charlene and Albert will welcome their children into the world in December and the couple, who got married in 2011, previously revealed they were filled with "immense joy" at the thought of expanding their family.
A joint statement from the duo read: "Prince Albert and Princess Charlene have the immense joy to announce they are expecting a happy event. The birth is due at the end of the year."
