Sean Evans on 10 Years of ‘Hot Ones’ on YouTube: ‘The Best Dumb Idea Ever’


Q&A with Sean Evans, host of popular YouTube talk show 'Hot Ones,' as it marks its 10th anniversary.

“Hot Ones” debuted in March 2015 with a simple conceit: to reimagine the chummy celeb interview in an extremely uncomfortable setting in which the host and guest eat progressively spicier chicken wings. The most popular “Hot Ones” episodes in the past year have featured “Deadpool & Wolverine” co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, Conan O’Brien, Jenna Ortega — and Donald Duck, in a bit sponsored by Disney. Other top “Hot Ones” guests over the years have included Gordon Ramsay, Billie Eilish, Scarlett Johansson, Will Ferrell, Shaq, Kevin Hart, Tom Holland, Post Malone and Millie Bobby Brown.
