A social experiment was conducted where the host pretended to be Celine Dion in Las Vegas. The host underwent a transformation, using makeup and prosthetics, to resemble the famous singer. Accompanied by a bodyguard, they visited various locations, including a store and a restaurant, to test people's reactions to "Celine Dion" in public. The host sang a few lines of one of Celine Dion's songs and interacted with people, who were largely unsure if it was the real Celine Dion or an impersonator. The experiment aimed to see if pretending to be a celebrity would grant the host special treatment or attention. The host was able to enter an exclusive restaurant, Hell's Kitchen, without a reservation, suggesting that the celebrity impersonation had some perks.
