At the end of the video, the two challenged Matthew McConaughey, Ellen DeGeneres and Jamie Foxx to participate in the challenge. Other “All in Challenge” offers include the chance for Justin Bieber to sing “One Less Lonely Girl” at the winner’s home and the opportunity to be in Kevin Hart’s next movie.
