Using only her feet, Biles tries to take off her pants while standing on her hands.
Before long, her pants are off and we hear some cheering in the background.

Before attempting the challenge, in a video clip posted on The Daily Show Instagram page, Noah is heard addressing Biles, saying: “OK Simone Biles, I don’t think you understand what a viral challenge is. It’s called a viral challenge, not viral impossibility!”
He added: “You do things with a handstand. I mean us, normal people, we struggle to take off our pants normally.”
