Joey Chestnut is best known as the longtime winner of the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, but he is not allowed to defend his title in 2024.
The 40-year-old competitive eater has won the contest 16 times in the past, including every year since 2016.
Major League Eating is commissioned by Nathan’s to organize the contest every year and the organization confirmed that Joey is banned from competing this year due to a conflict of interest.

“We are devastated to learn that Joey Chestnut has chosen to represent a rival brand that sells plant-based hot dogs rather than competing in the 2024 Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest,” MLE told The New York Post.
“MLE and Nathan’s went to great lengths in recent months to accommodate Joey and his management team, agreeing to the appearance fee and allowing Joey to compete in a rival, unbranded hot dog eating contest on Labor Day,” the statement continued. “For nearly two decades we have worked under the same basic hot dog exclusivity provisions. However, it seems that Joey and his managers have prioritized a new partnership with a different brand over our long-time relationship. Joey Chestnut is an American hero. We would love nothing more than to have him at the Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest. We hope he returns when he is not representing a rival brand.”
The New York Post reports that Joey was paid $200,000 to compete in the 2023 contest. He was offered a four-year deal at $1.2 million to continue competing with Nathan’s, but it sounds like he turned that down.
Joey‘s new deal is reportedly with Impossible Foods.

In a Sunday Express article, Stephen shared the laughable moment: "The woman behind the counter said, 'Which actor?'... 'Is it him?'

Phish fan who took a bong hit in the Sphere was temporarily banned from MSG venues.An account known as @acid_farts initially posted a video of the bong rip on April 20 to celebrate attending Phish’s Sphere show, who played four nights at the megavenue.However, it appeared as though MSG Entertainment (who own the venue) were not pleased with the stunt. A separate fan account on X/Twitter known as @PhishatMSG posted on June 3 to show a letter apparently addressed to the bong-ripper in question, informing him that he was “indefinitely banned” from MSG venues, which include the legendary Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall amongst others.“If you enter any of the MSG Venues, including, with respect to Madison Square Garden, the box office, Chase Square and the concierge areas, law enforcement will be contacted to ensure your expulsion and you will be subject to the penalties,” the letter concluded.The man, who declined to share his real name in an interview with Rolling Stone, said he had “no regrets”, except for one: “I’ll never see the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall”.Two days after the Rolling Stone article was published on June 6, MSG Entertainment then shared a statement claiming he was “not banned”, saying: “There was a breakdown in our process due to a change in personnel which resulted in the letter being sent inadvertently.
