On Monday's (March 17, 2025) episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the host wanted to test Quaid's pain threshold as his character in Novocaine doesn't feel any pain. Additionally, the test would let one audience member win a trip to Cape Town. In a video posted on the show's Instagram on March 14, 2025, the pain threshold challenge was revealed to be waxing his legs.

Barrymore was seen sitting with the materials required to go forward with the procedure. Quaid was game enough to lift his legs in the air as Barrymore tried to apply wax to his legs. While Barrymore chatted him up, Quaid stated that whatever she did up to that point felt incredibly good. He said:

In the brief clip posted by the show's official Instagram handle on March 14, 2025, Jack Quaid appears to be stunned by his leg-waxing session at The Drew Barrymore Show. He lets out outbursts of pain and loud shrieks both times the strips were yanked off his leg to remove the hair.
