Now that the Ice Bucket Challenge has left the social media stage, New York Collaborates for Autism is hoping to get celebrity support for the #TwizzlerChallenge during April, which is autism awareness month. After being challenged by Jimmy Kimmel, J.J. Abrams did it with Chewbacca.
Kimmel first did the challenge with Rihanna earlier this month. The two essentially remade Lady and the Tramp, with the two eating the ends of the Twizzler. At the end, Kimmel challenged Abrams to do it with his furry Star Wars: The Force Awakens star.
Abrams and Chewbacca ended up doing it, although Abrams came away with hair in his mouth.
At the end, Abrams challenged Jennifer Aniston to take the challenge with Kimmel’s sidekick, Guillermo.
Plenty of other celebrities have taken the challenge to raise autism awareness. Matt Lauer and Kathie Lee Gifford did it on the Today Show, while Triumph The Insult Dog took the challenge with The Meredith Vieira Show’s bandleader.
