‘Hot Ones’ Turned Down Kamala Harris as Guest Because Show Didn’t Want to ‘Delve Into Politics,’ Campaign Staffer Says
'Hot Ones' turned down Kamala Harris' request to appear on the show because 'they didn’t want to delve into politics,' a campaign strategist said.
Not that it would have changed the outcome of the election, but the Harris campaign had wanted the Democratic presidential candidate to appear on “Hot Ones,” the popular chicken-wing-eating show on YouTube that has featured an array of celebrities blinking back tears as they sample increasingly piquant sauces and banter with host Sean Evans. In the lead-up to the election, Harris did appear on nontraditional outlets, including Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy,” Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson’s “All the Smoke” and Shannon Sharpe’s “Club Shay Shay.” “Everywhere we could [book a podcast], we did it,” said Jen O’Malley Dillon, Harris’ campaign manager. In addition to “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Trump appeared on Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend,” Bryson DeChambeau’s “Break 50,” Mark “The Undertaker” Calaway’s “Six Feet Under” and Barstool Sports’ “Bussin’ With the Boys.”
