This isn't the first time Kreischer has attempted to lose weight. Back in 2017, the comedian had competed against Segura to see who could lose the most weight. The challenge came about after Segura, and his wife Christina Pazsitzky pointed out that Kreischer's belly looked like that of Gerard Depardieu.
The couple then spurred their fans to bombard Kreischer's Twitter with tweets asking why he was so fat. Eventually, Kreischer and Segura began their weight loss challenge on the Joe Rogan Experience.
The loser of the challenge had to pay for the winner's trip to any place he chose. The loser also had to shave their beard.
Later, down the road, Ari Shaffir made the challenge more interesting. He agreed to pay for both Kreischer's and Segura's trips if they got their BMI out of the obese category.
The duo achieved the challenge, and Shaffir had to pay for both their trips. In the end, Segura came out on top after losing six more pounds compared to Kreischer.
