Hot Ones
American YouTube talk show
Hot Ones is an American YouTube talk show produced by First We Feast and Complex Media. The show is hosted by Sean Evans, who interviews celebrities while they eat progressively spicier chicken wings. The show has gained a significant following for its unique format and the candid responses it elicits from its guests.
Format[edit | edit source]
The format of Hot Ones involves Evans and his guest eating ten chicken wings, each prepared with a different hot sauce. The sauces increase in Scoville units, starting with milder sauces and culminating in extremely spicy ones. As the heat intensifies, Evans asks his guest a series of questions, often leading to humorous and revealing answers.
The show is known for its "Last Dab," where guests are encouraged to add an extra dab of the final hot sauce to their last wing. This tradition has become a hallmark of the show, testing the limits of the guests' spice tolerance.
Production[edit | edit source]
Hot Ones is produced by First We Feast, a food culture website under Complex Media. The show debuted on March 12, 2015, and has since released multiple seasons. The production team carefully selects a variety of hot sauces for each season, often featuring sauces from small, independent producers.
Notable Guests[edit | edit source]
Over the years, Hot Ones has featured a wide array of guests from different fields, including actors, musicians, athletes, and internet personalities. Some notable guests include Gordon Ramsay, Kevin Hart, Charlize Theron, and Billie Eilish. Each guest brings their own personality and spice tolerance to the show, contributing to its dynamic and entertaining nature.
Cultural Impact[edit | edit source]
Hot Ones has become a cultural phenomenon, inspiring numerous parodies and spin-offs. The show's format has been praised for its ability to humanize celebrities, as the intense heat of the sauces often leads to genuine reactions and moments of vulnerability.
The show has also popularized several hot sauces, leading to increased sales and visibility for the brands featured. The "Hot Ones" brand has expanded to include its own line of hot sauces, merchandise, and even a game show adaptation.
