Hot Ones

Our Review

The show with hot questions and even hotter wings. Sean Evans interviews celebrities over ten progressively brutal chicken wings, and the format is secretly genius: by wing six the glamour drops, the PR training dissolves, and you get the most honest celebrity interviews on the internet. Gordon Ramsay rage quitting, Charlize Theron outclassing Sean, Paul Rudd’s beautiful people bit, the Jennifer Lawrence episode: the guest list is a hall of fame and the sauces are a hall of pain.

It turned a YouTube interview show into a cultural institution with its own hot sauce empire. The questions are meticulously researched, the escalation is perfectly engineered, and The Last Dab remains television’s most reliable truth serum.

Our take: 8.5/10.
