Explained simply
Hot Ones is a US interview show hosted by Sean Evans, in which guests answer questions while eating chicken wings coated in increasingly spicy sauces. It began in 2015 and became a place for actors and other public figures to discuss their work.
Guests have included Jennifer Lawrence, Paul Rudd and Conan O’Brien. The format can bring attention to a film or show, but it also asks guests to take part in a spicy-food challenge, which is not for everyone.
