Ellen DeGeneres' audience is left in stitches after Simon Cowell completely botches a hilarious game of "Burning Questions."
Simon Cowell simply cannot grasp the concept of Ellen DeGeneres' "Burning Questions" -- and it's incredible.
The star of "America's Got Talent" and former "American Idol" judge stopped by "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Tuesday morning, and when the comedian put the usually quick-witted music exec in the hot seat, he was completely stumped.

"Yeah," Ellen replied. "It's very, very important."
"If I give the answer to that one, I will get killed by their fans, so I'm ducking out," Simon eventually said.
If you could only watch one reality show -- that you're not involved in -- for the rest of your life, which would it be?
"I wouldn't," Simon replied after pressing the buzzer.
"None?" Ellen asked. "Do you watch any at all?"
"Only ones with me in it," he replied.
